About This Skill
What it does
The worktree-manager skill allows an AI agent to manage Git worktrees. It can create, list, and switch between different worktrees within a single repository, enabling parallel development or experimentation without affecting the main codebase. This facilitates tasks like testing branches in isolation or working on multiple features simultaneously.
When to use it
- Parallel Feature Development: When an agent needs to work on several distinct features concurrently within a Git repository.
- Isolated Testing: To create and manage separate worktrees for testing different versions of code or experimental changes.
- Branch Exploration: To quickly switch between and explore various branches without constantly checking out and back.
- Clean Workspace: To maintain a clean primary working directory while experimenting with modifications in isolated worktrees.
Key capabilities
- Create new Git worktrees.
- List existing worktrees within a repository.
- Switch between active Git worktrees.
Example prompts
- "Create a worktree named 'experiment-branch' from the 'develop' branch."
- "List all available worktrees in this repository."
- "Switch to the worktree called 'feature-x'."
Tips & gotchas
The agent needs access to a Git repository and appropriate permissions to create and manage worktrees. Ensure the specified worktree names are valid and don't conflict with existing files or directories.
