Workspace Isolation
Overview
Git worktrees create isolated workspaces sharing the same repository, enabling work on multiple branches simultaneously without switching.
Core principle: Systematic directory selection + safety verification = reliable isolation.
Announce at start: "I'm applying the workspace-isolation skill to set up an isolated workspace."
The Prime Directive
NO FEATURE WORK ON THE MAIN BRANCH
No exceptions. No workarounds. No shortcuts.
When to Use
Required for:
More from noobygains/godmode
fault-diagnosis
Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes
15task-planning
Use when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code
15agent-messaging
Use when dispatching subagents, composing prompts for teammates, structuring handoff reports, or managing context boundaries between agents. Covers both subagent prompts and team-level messaging.
15intent-discovery
Use when starting any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements, and design before implementation.
15quality-enforcement
Use when preparing code for commit, PR, or merge - covers linting, type safety, bundle budgets, coverage thresholds, complexity limits, dependency audit, and dead code detection
14pattern-matching
Use when contributing code to an existing project - guarantees that every new line mirrors the established conventions, naming schemes, architectural layering, directory layout, and stylistic choices already present in the codebase rather than drifting toward generic AI defaults
