Worktree Management FAQs

Question 1

How does it handle port conflicts during parallel development?

Accepted Answer

The skill utilizes an intelligent auto-incrementing port allocation strategy. It scans your existing services and registry to assign unique ports for backends, frontends, databases, and debugging tools (like Chrome DevTools), ensuring multiple worktrees can run simultaneously without interference.

Question 2

What does the Worktree Management skill do for Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

This skill automates the creation and management of Git worktrees, providing fully isolated development environments. It goes beyond standard Git by automatically configuring Docker services, allocating unique ports, syncing environment files, and setting up isolated browser automation (MCP) for each branch.

Question 3

How does the browser isolation feature work?

Accepted Answer

Each worktree is provisioned with its own dedicated browser MCP container (Playwright/Chrome DevTools). These containers use isolated data directories and unique debugging ports, allowing you to run browser-based automation tasks in multiple worktrees at the same time without session leakage.

Question 4

When should I use this skill in my workflow?

Accepted Answer

Use this skill whenever you need to work on multiple features or bug fixes in parallel without switching branches and losing state. It is ideal for testing isolated changes, running independent Playwright sessions, or managing complex microservices that require separate Docker configurations for each branch.

Question 5

Does it automatically configure CORS and environment variables?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upon creation, the skill copies .env files from your main project and automatically updates API base URLs and CORS origin settings to match the new worktree's specific ports. This ensures that your frontend and backend communicate correctly right out of the box.
