Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill
What it does
This skill allows an AI agent to create Git worktrees. Worktrees enable you to checkout multiple versions of a repository simultaneously, facilitating experimentation and parallel development without affecting the main working directory. The skill provides commands for creating, listing, and removing these isolated workspaces within your Git repository.
When to use it
- Experimenting with different branches: Quickly test changes on a new branch without disrupting your current workflow.
- Developing features in isolation: Create a worktree for each feature you're working on, keeping them separate and organized.
- Reviewing pull requests: Checkout a pull request as a worktree to examine the changes locally before merging.
- Reproducing bugs: Isolate a specific commit or branch within a worktree to debug issues more effectively.
Key capabilities
- Create new Git worktrees.
- List existing worktrees.
- Remove unwanted worktrees.
Example prompts
- "Create a worktree named 'feature-x'."
- "List all available worktrees."
- "Delete the worktree called 'old-experiment'."
Tips & gotchas
This skill requires Git to be installed and accessible in the environment where the AI agent is operating. Worktrees are not standard directories, so ensure you understand how they interact with your main repository before using them extensively.
