How does this skill handle Git submodules?

It includes a mandatory check for submodules; if changes are needed inside a submodule, the skill ensures the worktree is created within the submodule directory rather than the parent root to prevent logical conflicts.

What files are synced when creating a new worktree?

The skill automatically copies critical configuration files like .env and .serena to the new worktree to ensure your development environment remains consistent and functional.

Why use Git Worktrees instead of switching branches?

Worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out in separate directories simultaneously, which is essential for parallel tasking without losing your current progress or uncommitted changes.

Is user confirmation required for every new worktree?

Yes, the skill enforces an interactive confirmation flow to ensure that worktrees are only created with the user's explicit permission and correct naming conventions.

Developer Tools

Streamlines parallel development using Git Worktrees with intelligent submodule handling and environment synchronization.

About

This skill optimizes multi-tasking within Claude Code by formalizing the management of Git Worktrees. It provides a structured workflow for creating isolated development environments using a 'wt-' prefix, ensuring that developers can work on multiple branches simultaneously without workspace interference. The skill includes a rigorous decision-making engine for projects containing Git submodules, ensuring worktrees are placed in the correct repository level. By enforcing mandatory user confirmation and automatically syncing environment configurations like .env and .serena, it maintains high developer productivity and repository integrity.
