name: worktree description: Create and manage git worktrees for parallel development. Use when the user wants to create a worktree, work on a feature in isolation, set up a new branch with its own directory, or manage existing worktrees. allowed-tools: Bash(bin/worktree:), Bash(git worktree:)

Git Worktree Management

Manage git worktrees using the bin/worktree script for parallel development workflows.

Available Commands

bin/worktree list              # Show all worktrees
bin/worktree create <branch>   # Create worktree for branch
bin/worktree delete <branch>   # Remove worktree
bin/worktree go <branch>       # Print path (for cd)

Naming Convention

Worktrees are created as sibling directories to the main repo. Slashes become dashes:

| Branch | Directory | |--------|-----------| | feature/auth | ../jolly-blitzen-feature-auth | | bugfix/login | ../jolly-blitzen-bugfix-login | | experiment/new-ui | ../jolly-blitzen-experiment-new-ui |

Instructions

When creating a worktree:

1. If user provides a branch name (contains /), use it directly
2. If user provides a task description, convert to feature/<kebab-case-description>
3. Run bin/worktree create <branch>
4. Tell the user the path and how to switch: cd <path>

When listing worktrees:

Run bin/worktree list and present the results.

When deleting a worktree:

1. Confirm the branch name with the user if ambiguous
2. Run bin/worktree delete <branch>
