- # Using Git Worktrees
-
- ## Overview
-
- Create isolated workspaces sharing the same repository. Systematic directory selection + safety verification.
-
- **Core principle:** Isolated workspace before implementation.
-
- ## Process
-
- 1. Check existing directories (.worktrees/ or worktrees/)
+ graph:
+ domains: [domain:software-engineering]
+ skillAreas: [skill-area:agentic-loops, skill-area:orchestration-loop]
+ workflows: [workflow:feature-development]
+ topics: [topic:developer-experience]
+ roles: [role:tech-lead, role:backend-engineer]
2. Verify directory is gitignored
3. Create worktree with new branch
4. Run project setup (auto-detect npm/cargo/pip/go)
5. Verify clean test baseline
6. Report ready
## Safety
- Always verify worktree directory is gitignored
- Always run baseline tests
- Report failures before proceeding
## Agents Used
- Process agents referenced in `superpowers-workflow.js`
## Tool Use
Referenced by `executing-plans` and `subagent-driven-development` processes.
