License
a license file GitHub does not identify

Creates and manages isolated git worktrees for PR workflows. Uses worktrees exclusively—never checkout—to avoid disrupting the main working directory. Handles branch creation, worktree setup, and PR lifecycle management. Enables parallel PR development with clean isolation and safe cleanup.

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

# PR Worktree

**Core Principle**: Use `git worktree` exclusively. Never `git checkout`.

Worktrees provide isolated directories for each PR while keeping your main working directory untouched. This enables parallel development on multiple PRs without stash/reset conflicts.

## When to Use

- Starting work on a new PR
- Fixing issues in an existing PR branch  
- Working on multiple PRs simultaneously
- Reviewing someone else's PR locally
- Hotfixing production issues
- Any git work that requires isolation from main

## Quick Start

### Create New PR Worktree

```bash
# Parse issue/task: type, issue number, description
BRANCH_TYPE="fix"  # fix|feature|refactor|docs|hotfix
ISSUE_NUM="432"
DESC="button-rendering"
BRANCH_NAME="${BRANCH_TYPE}/issue-${ISSUE_NUM}-${DESC}"
WORKTREE_PATH=".worktrees/$(echo ${BRANCH_NAME} | tr '/' '-')"

# Fetch the default branch into the remote-tracking ref (never into the local branch)
git fetch origin main

# Create the branch at origin/main without switching to it
git branch "${BRANCH_NAME}" origin/main

# Add the worktree
git worktree add "${WORKTREE_PATH}" "${BRANCH_NAME}"

# Start working
cd "${WORKTREE_PATH}"
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add odykyi/gh-skills/pr-worktree@sha256:8fd7255996ec7b28

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.f79b691, 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.
