Git Worktree Management

Iron Law

NEVER MODIFY FILES IN A WORKTREE YOU DID NOT CREATE

Operations

1. Create

Create a new worktree for isolated parallel development.

git worktree add <path> -b <branch-name>

• Always use a descriptive branch name matching the worktree purpose
• Place worktrees in a consistent location (e.g., /tmp/<repo>-worktrees/<name>)
• Verify the worktree was created successfully before proceeding
• Initialize any required workspace files (progress.txt, CLAUDE.md, prd.json)
