worktree
Using Git Worktrees
Overview
Git worktrees create isolated workspaces sharing the same repository, allowing work on multiple branches simultaneously without switching.
Core principle: Systematic directory selection + safety verification = reliable isolation.
Announce at start: "I'm using the worktree skill to set up an isolated workspace."
Directory Selection Process
Follow this priority order:
1. Check Existing Directories
# Check in priority order
ls -d .worktrees 2>/dev/null # Preferred (hidden)

test-driven-development
Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code
8adversarial-tester
Use after completing implementation to find unknown failure modes. Reads implementation diff and writes up to 5 tests designed to make it break. Triggers on 'break it', 'adversarial test', 'stress test implementation', 'find weaknesses', or any task seeking to expose unknown failure modes.
5quality-gate
Iterative red-teaming of any artifact (design docs, plans, code, hypotheses, mockups). Loops until clean or stagnation. Invoked by artifact-producing skills or their parent orchestrator.
5code-review
Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements
5finish
Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work - guides completion of development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup
4verify
Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always
