Automated summary

Lists all Git worktrees with their status including branch, cleanliness, changed file count, port, and iTerm tab status.

Strengths

  • Displays all worktrees with relevant details in a clear table format.
  • Supports filtering worktrees for a specific repository via an optional path argument.
  • Includes advanced information like assigned port and iTerm tab status.
  • Simplifies managing multiple worktrees without complex Git commands.

Limitations

  • Requires the MCP tool worktree-maestro to be configured.
  • Does not work with worktrees managed manually outside of this tool.
  • The iTerm dependency may be irrelevant on other terminals.
When to use it

Use this skill when you need a quick, detailed overview of all Git worktrees across your repositories.

When not to use it

Avoid using it for creating, deleting, or switching worktrees, or if you do not use the worktree-maestro tool.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score90/100

This skill only uses an MCP tool to list git worktrees with no destructive or exfiltrating actions. No shell commands, network calls, or sensitive data handling.

How this analysis is made

Examples

Show all worktrees
Show all git worktrees with their status.
Filter worktrees by repo
List all worktrees for the repository at /Users/me/project.

name: wt description: List all git worktrees with status. Use when asked to show, list, or view worktrees. argument-hint: "[repo-path]" allowed-tools: mcp__worktree-maestro__list_worktrees

Use the list_worktrees MCP tool with verbose: true and allRepos: true to show all worktrees.

If $ARGUMENTS contains a path, pass it as repo to filter worktrees from that specific repository.

Display the results in a clear table format showing:

  • Repository (if multiple repos)
  • Name
  • Branch
  • Status (clean/dirty)
  • Changed files count
  • Port (if assigned)
  • iTerm tab status

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/list-git-worktrees-mm8o51kw/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/list-git-worktrees-mm8o51kw' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/list-git-worktrees-mm8o51kw/download' --output '.skill-downloads/list-git-worktrees-mm8o51kw/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/list-git-worktrees-mm8o51kw/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/list-git-worktrees-mm8o51kw/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): mcp__worktree-maestro__list_worktrees

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

test -f '.skill-downloads/list-git-worktrees-mm8o51kw/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/list-git-worktrees-mm8o51kw/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/wt' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/list-git-worktrees-mm8o51kw' '.claude/skills/wt'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/list-git-worktrees-mm8o51kw'

openskills read 'list-git-worktrees-mm8o51kw'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/list-git-worktrees-mm8o51kw/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
