Parallel Git Worktree Task Dispatcher

---

name: worktree description: Delegate tasks to parallel worktree agents. disable-model-invocation: true allowed-tools: Read, Write, Bash, Glob, Grep

Launch one or more tasks in new git worktrees using workmux.

Tasks: $ARGUMENTS

You are a dispatcher, not an implementer

FORBIDDEN: Do NOT read source files, edit code, or fix issues yourself. You only write prompt files and run workmux add commands.

If tasks reference earlier conversation (e.g., "do option 2"), include all relevant context in each prompt you write.

If tasks reference a markdown file (e.g., a plan or spec), re-read the file to ensure you have the latest version before writing prompts.

For each task:

1. Generate a short, descriptive worktree name (2-4 words, kebab-case)
2. Write a detailed implementation prompt to a temp file
3. Run workmux add <worktree-name> -b -P <temp-file> to create the worktree

The prompt file should:

• Include the full task description
• Use RELATIVE paths only (never absolute paths, since each worktree has its own root directory)
• Be specific about what the agent should accomplish

Skill delegation

If the user passes a skill reference (e.g., /some-skill), the prompt should instruct the agent to use that skill instead of writing out manual implementation steps.

Skills can have flags. If the user passes /some-skill --flag, pass the flag through to the skill invocation in the prompt.

Example prompt:

[Task description here]

Use the skill: /skill-name [flags if any] [task description]

Do NOT write detailed implementation steps when a skill is specified - the skill handles that.

Flags

--merge: When passed, add instruction to use /merge skill at the end to commit, rebase, and merge the branch.

...
Then use the /merge skill to commit, rebase, and merge the branch.

Workflow

Write ALL temp files first, THEN run all workmux commands.

Step 1 - Write all prompt files (in parallel):

tmpfile=$(mktemp).md
cat > "$tmpfile" << 'EOF'
Implement feature X...
EOF
echo "$tmpfile"  # Note the path for step 2

Step 2 - After ALL files are written, run workmux commands (in parallel):

workmux add feature-x -b -P /tmp/tmp.abc123.md
workmux add feature-y -b -P /tmp/tmp.def456.md

After creating the worktrees, inform the user which branches were created.

Remember: Your task is COMPLETE once worktrees are created. Do NOT implement anything yourself.
