Ctx Worktree Manager FAQs

Question 1

What is the benefit of using git worktrees with Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

Git worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out simultaneously in separate directories. This enables you to run multiple Claude Code agents on different tasks at the same time without them interfering with each other's files.

Question 2

How does ctx-worktree handle merge conflicts?

Accepted Answer

The skill provides specific guidance for resolving common conflicts, particularly in TASKS.md, by ensuring all marked completions from different agents are preserved during the merge back to the main branch.

Question 3

Can I use this for tasks that modify the same files?

Accepted Answer

It is highly recommended to only use worktrees for tasks with non-overlapping files. The skill includes a 'Task Grouping Guidance' feature to help you identify independent tracks before you start.

Question 4

Do I need to run 'ctx init' in a new worktree?

Accepted Answer

No, you should not run 'ctx init' in a worktree. Since the context directory is tracked in git, it will already be present. Running init again could overwrite shared context files.

Question 5

How many worktrees can I manage with this skill?

Accepted Answer

The skill enforces a limit of 4 active worktrees. This guardrail is in place because having more than 4 parallel tracks usually increases merge complexity to a point where it outweighs productivity gains.
