Use Git worktrees to isolate parallel coding tasks. Use when setting up a task checkout, working in a shared repo, or managing existing worktrees.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Git Worktrees for Parallel Agents
## In Cloudroom (`$ROOM_THREAD_ID` is set)
Never run `git worktree add` yourself. Cloudroom only deletes worktrees it made, so hand-made ones pile up in `~/code` forever.
- **New task:** start the thread with **New worktree** instead.
- **Move this thread to its own worktree:** fork it into a Cloudroom-managed worktree. Cloudroom makes the branch and deletes the folder once its last thread is archived (after the worktree retention setting, default 30 days).
```bash
room-cli thread fork "$ROOM_THREAD_ID" --new-environment worktree --title "<task>" \
--prompt "You now run in a new worktree. Copy the gitignored .env files from <primary checkout> into it, then stop and wait for the user."
```
It branches from `main`, so uncommitted edits stay behind; commit them first or pass `--base-branch <ref>`. Then tell the user to continue in the new thread and archive this one. Skip the rest of this skill.
## Start here
Detect where you are before editing:
```bash
[ "$(git rev-parse --path-format=absolute --git-dir)" = "$(git rev-parse --path-format=absolute --git-common-dir)" ] \
&& echo "primary checkout" || echo "worktree"
```

How to install
mdr add davidondrej/skills/git-worktree@sha256:27ed9dca9b35feaeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.47bdcda, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
