Git Worktrees for Parallel Development

Overview

This skill enables parallel development by using git worktrees. Each worktree provides an isolated working directory with its own branch, allowing multiple agents to work on different features simultaneously without conflicts.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• User explicitly requests to work in a new worktree (e.g., "Work in a new worktree")
• User wants to develop a feature in isolation while preserving the main working directory
• Multiple agents need to work on different tasks in parallel

Workflow

1. Determine Branch Name

Choose a descriptive branch name for the feature or task to be worked on. The branch name should follow standard git naming conventions (lowercase, hyphen-separated, e.g., add-user-authentication, fix-login-bug).
