Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - creates isolated git worktrees with smart directory selection and safety verification.
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
# Using Git Worktrees ## Overview Git worktrees create isolated workspaces sharing the same repository, allowing work on multiple branches simultaneously without switching. **Core principle:** Systematic directory selection + safety verification = reliable isolation. **Announce at start:** "I'm using the using-git-worktrees skill to set up an isolated workspace." ## Directory Selection Process Follow this priority order: ### 1. Check Existing Directories ```bash # Check in priority order ls -d .worktrees 2>/dev/null # Preferred (hidden) ls -d worktrees 2>/dev/null # Alternative ``` **If found:** Use that directory. If both exist, `.worktrees` wins. ### 2. Check CLAUDE.md ```bash grep -i "worktree.*director" CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null ``` **If preference specified:** Use it without asking. ### 3. Ask User If no directory exists and no CLAUDE.md preference: ``` No worktree directory found. Where should I create worktrees? 1. .worktrees/ (project-local, hidden) 2. ~/.config/superpowers/worktrees/<project-name>/ (global location) Which would you prefer? ``` ## Safety Verification ### For Project-Local Directories (.worktrees or worktrees) …

How to install
mdr add autovant/superpowers/using-git-worktrees@sha256:de9dcde34840eee0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260129.bb2ff5d, 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.
