git-worktree SKILL.md skillA

git-worktree from iliaal/ai-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add iliaal/ai-skills/git-worktree@git:20261025.051b42b

Pins git:20261025.051b42b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Manage Git worktrees for isolated parallel development. Use when creating, listing, switching, or cleaning up git worktrees, or when needing isolated branches for concurrent reviews or feature work.

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

# Git worktree manager

**GATE: If the task runs inside an existing worktree (a worktree path is given and no create/remove/switch is requested), none of the creation flow applies: work in place and skip this skill.** To check: `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` appears as a linked entry in `git worktree list`.

## Working rules

- Preserve other sessions' branches, files, and staged work (see Ownership).
- Verify dependencies resolve first-party code from the intended worktree.
- Keep merge, push, and cleanup within user authorization; report the exact exercised checkout and resulting commit.

## Always use the manager script

Never call `git worktree add` directly; always use the `worktree-manager.sh` script.

The manager handles setup:
1. Copies `.env`, `.env.local`, `.env.test`, etc. from the main checkout, only when the base is the default branch or a local branch that already contains the fetched commit (a branch that exists only on `origin` gets none); it never overwrites or follows an existing file or symlink in the new tree
2. Ensures `.worktrees` is in the main checkout's `.gitignore`
3. Creates consistent directory structure

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add iliaal/ai-skills/git-worktree@sha256:cff25575de73360b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.051b42b, 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.
