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 skinnyandbald/fish-skills at d95019be21.

    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 utilize Git worktrees, enabling parallel development on multiple branches within a single repository without needing to clone the entire repository multiple times. It facilitates switching between different feature branches or experimental changes quickly and efficiently. This is achieved by creating lightweight workspaces linked to the main repository.

When to use it

  • Experimenting with new features: Create a worktree for testing out a radical change without affecting your primary development branch.
  • Working on multiple bug fixes simultaneously: Maintain separate worktrees for different bug reports, allowing parallel resolution.
  • Code review workflows: Spin up a dedicated worktree to easily pull and test changes from a specific branch during code review.
  • Developing plugins or extensions: Isolate development of new functionality in a worktree without impacting the core project.

Key capabilities

  • Creating new Git worktrees.
  • Switching between existing worktrees.
  • Listing available worktrees.
  • Deleting unwanted worktrees.

Example prompts

  • "Create a worktree named 'feature/new-login'"
  • "Switch to the worktree called 'bugfix/issue-123'"
  • "List all my Git worktrees."

Tips & gotchas

The AI agent needs access to a valid Git repository. Worktrees are tied to the main repository, so deleting the main repository will invalidate any existing worktrees.
