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 lgbarn/devops-skills at 8a37cc3fe5.

    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 an AI agent to utilize Git worktrees, allowing developers to checkout multiple branches of a repository simultaneously within the same working directory. It facilitates efficient development workflows by enabling parallel tasks and experimentation without constantly switching between full repositories. The agent can create, list, enter, and remove worktrees as needed.

When to use it

  • Parallel Feature Development: A developer needs to work on two features concurrently from separate branches of a Git repository.
  • Experimentation & Bug Fixes: An AI agent is tasked with testing different approaches or bug fixes without disrupting the main development branch.
  • Reviewing Pull Requests: Quickly checkout and inspect a pull request's branch alongside your current working copy for easier comparison.
  • Reproducing Issues: Create a worktree to isolate and reproduce a specific issue reported from a particular Git commit or branch.

Key capabilities

  • Creating new worktrees
  • Listing existing worktrees
  • Entering an active worktree
  • Removing worktrees

Example prompts

  • "Create a worktree named 'feature-x' from the 'develop' branch."
  • "List all available Git worktrees."
  • "Switch to the worktree called 'bugfix-123'."
  • “Remove the worktree ‘experimental-branch’.”

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure Git is installed and configured correctly on the system where the AI agent operates.
  • Worktrees are essentially independent copies of a branch; changes within one do not automatically affect others unless explicitly merged.
