using-git-worktrees SKILL.md skillA

using-git-worktrees from arbiterforge/codearbiter is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

OPTIONAL per-task isolation for autonomous parallel work. Routed to only on explicit opt-in by subagent-driven-development or dispatching-parallel-agents, so parallel units mutate files without colliding. Stands up one worktree per unit, works it in isolation, then integrates each unit back onto the caller's working branch for the caller's single commit-gate + finishing-a-development-branch exit. Never on the default path; it does not bypass a gate or finish per unit.

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

OPTIONAL. Per-task filesystem isolation for parallel agent work — opt-in only, never the default path.
Routed to by `subagent-driven-development` and `dispatching-parallel-agents` when, and only when, the
caller requests isolation. If no isolation is requested, this skill does not run; parallel units share
the working tree under their own discipline.

Isolation is convenience, not soul. It lets concurrent units edit files without collision. It changes
nothing about the gates — the consolidated work still clears `commit-gate` and the single
`finishing-a-development-branch` terminal step, run by the caller. What it MUST NOT do is multiply
that terminal step into one PR per unit.

## Pre-flight

Read these, or STOP and surface the gap — never guess:

- `<project-root>/.codearbiter/CONTEXT.md` — confirm the repo is a git repo and the base/working branch.
- The discovered authoritative spec/plan pair for the caller's pipeline. Use its
  exact selected plan for the parallel unit list. Re-run the private bridge resolver
  `_resolve_workflow_pair` with the trusted project root and pipeline slug rather
  than reconstructing either path. For an HTML pair, load
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arbiterforge/codearbiter/using-git-worktrees@sha256:1285fd31bf9f16b7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260917.8f29537, 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.
