Which programming languages are supported for automatic setup?

The skill includes auto-detection for Node.js (package.json), Rust (Cargo.toml), Python (requirements.txt/pyproject.toml), and Go (go.mod) to install necessary dependencies automatically.

Does this skill handle .gitignore updates?

Yes, it automatically verifies if the worktree directory is ignored and can update your .gitignore file to prevent accidental commits of worktree contents, following the 'fix broken things immediately' principle.

Where are the worktrees created by default?

The skill follows a priority order: it first looks for existing .worktrees/ or worktrees/ directories, then checks for preferences in CLAUDE.md, and finally offers the choice between a local directory or a global configuration path.

Why use git worktrees instead of just switching branches?

Worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out simultaneously in different directories. This eliminates the need to stash changes, reset your environment, or rebuild dependencies every time you switch between features.

Developer Tools

Creates and manages isolated git worktrees for feature development with automatic environment setup and safety verification.

The Isolated Git Worktrees skill streamlines the process of starting new feature work by setting up dedicated, isolated workspaces that share the same repository. It intelligently handles directory selection based on project conventions, ensures worktree paths are properly ignored by version control to prevent repository pollution, and automatically initializes language-specific dependencies for Node.js, Rust, Python, and Go. By running baseline tests before you start, it ensures your new environment is stable and ready for implementation without the friction of manual context switching.
