Enforces Law 4 (Verify Before Reporting) of the 7 Laws of AI Agent Discipline. Pre-dispatch invariant: validate worktree root before any source-writing tool call. Catches missing .git, fallback path-only creation, stale leases, foreign-session ownership, and non-worktree git operations before they corrupt history.
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
# Worktree Safety Skill A pre-dispatch invariant. Before any tool call that writes source files or runs git, validate that the current working directory is a registered worktree with a healthy `.git`, owned by this session, on the expected branch. ## When to Use - Before every Edit / Write / Bash that touches source code in a multi-worktree session. - Before any `git` command in an auto-loop. - After any pause/resume — CWD may have drifted, the worktree may have been pruned, the lease may have expired. - When the verification ladder reports a class-`worktree` failure (see `recovery-classification`). ## Why This Skill Exists GSD-2's [CONTEXT.md](https://github.com/gsd-build/gsd-2/blob/main/CONTEXT.md) names "Worktree Safety" as one of four runtime invariant modules. Common failure modes it catches: - **Units dispatch into ghost / invalid worktree roots** — `.git` missing, fallback path-only creation, the worktree was pruned but the loop kept its handle. - **Health checks unit-specific instead of lifecycle-wide** — earlier units (sketch, plan) write into invalid roots before any check runs. …

How to install
mdr add naimkatiman/continuous-improvement/worktree-safety@sha256:2045d89bed1f43f1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.b8ed97c, 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.
