Git Worktree Management

Overview

Git worktrees enable isolated development by creating separate working directories for different branches. This skill teaches the default workflow for all feature and bugfix development: always create a worktree before starting work on a new branch.

Core principle: Never use git checkout or git switch for feature/bugfix work. Always create a worktree instead.

CRITICAL: Script Invocation

EVERY SINGLE workbranch command MUST be invoked with the FULL path:

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/wb new feature-x
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/wb list
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/wb status

NEVER EVER run bare wb commands - they will fail with "command not found". The ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} prefix is MANDATORY and non-negotiable.
