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 glennguilloux/context-engineering-kit at 245278227a.

    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 allows an AI agent to create a new Git worktree. A worktree is essentially a separate, independent checkout of the same repository, allowing you to have multiple working copies of different branches or commits simultaneously. This is useful for experimenting with changes without affecting your main working directory.

When to use it

  • You need to test a feature branch without disrupting your current development workflow.
  • You want to examine an older commit or tag without switching your primary branch.
  • Multiple developers on a team require isolated environments for different tasks within the same repository.
  • You're debugging a specific issue that requires a clean working directory based on a particular revision.

Key capabilities

  • Creates a new Git worktree.
  • Specifies the branch or commit to checkout in the new worktree.
  • Allows for multiple, independent working copies of a repository.

Example prompts

  • "Create a worktree named 'experiment' from the 'develop' branch."
  • "Make a worktree called 'bugfix' based on commit abc123def456."
  • "Can you create a new worktree for testing the feature X?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires Git to be installed and accessible in the environment where the AI agent is running.
  • Worktrees are relative to the main repository, so ensure the agent has access to the root of that repository.
