Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

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

    Scanned bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills at 718070a7d6.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to manage multiple parallel versions of a Git repository simultaneously without modifying the main branch. It allows agents to create isolated workspaces, experiment with features or fixes, and merge changes back cleanly once validated.

When to use it

  • Testing new code changes against existing codebases before merging to main.
  • Running experiments on different branches concurrently to compare results.
  • Isolating bug fixes or feature development so they don't interfere with active work.
  • Managing multiple independent tasks within a single repository structure.

Key capabilities

  • Create and manage detached worktrees for parallel development.
  • Switch between worktrees seamlessly without affecting the primary branch.
  • Maintain isolated environments for safe experimentation and testing.
  • Merge validated changes from worktrees back into the main repository.

Example prompts

  • "Create a new worktree on the feature-auth branch to test the login flow."
  • "Switch to the existing worktree named bugfix-dashboard and run the linter."
  • "List all active worktrees and show their current commit hashes."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your Git installation supports worktrees, as older versions may lack this functionality. Always verify changes in a worktree before merging to avoid unintended conflicts with the main branch.
