Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from the current branch, or before executing a plan or fanning out parallel stations - sets up an isolated workspace using the harness's native worktree tool, falling back to a git worktree. Triggers on "worktree", "isolate this work", "don't touch my branch", "work on a copy".

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

A cook does not prep on the same board the plates are leaving from. A clean station is the first move of service, not an afterthought: it keeps the work in front of you from contaminating what is already plated. This skill sets up that clean station for code, an isolated workspace where a feature or a risky change can be built without touching the branch the user is standing on.

**Core principle:** detect existing isolation first, then prefer the harness's native worktree tool, then fall back to git. Never fight the harness by stacking a manual worktree on top of one it already gave you.

## Step 0: are you already isolated?

Before creating anything, check. Stacking a worktree inside a worktree is the most common mistake.

```bash
GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
git rev-parse --show-superproject-working-tree 2>/dev/null   # non-empty = submodule, not a worktree
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add escoffier-labs/skillet/worktree@sha256:10be5735a5b829ee

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
