Detect another agent working in the same repo clone and warn before destructive operations that could destroy its uncommitted changes.
When to Use This Skill
| Use this skill when... | Use a worktree instead when... |
|---|---|
| Session starts in a clone that may already be in use | You control the session and can create git worktree add ../<task> |
About to run git stash, git reset --hard, git checkout -- . |
You already know the working tree is yours alone |
git status shows files you don't remember touching |
Baseline + markers are already confirming you are alone |
| Bulk-edit / commit-loop fan-out about to start (per-plugin, per-package commits across many subdirectories) | Each iteration is already isolated in its own worktree |
| A collision already happened and you need to recover | See REFERENCE.md — Recovery section |
See .claude/rules/agent-coworker-detection.md for the full rationale and
signal design.
