Set up an isolated git worktree for a Laravel project served by Laravel Herd (Pro-aware). Composes vd:worktree for the worktree/.env/port mechanics, then adds the Herd layer: link + scheme-correct site (HTTPS via herd secure when the source is secured), .env rewrite (APP_URL, SESSION_DOMAIN, Sanctum - only when present), opt-in per-worktree database isolation, Vite TLS/CORS, then hands finishing to vd:ship / vd:git. Triggers: 'herd-worktree', 'herd worktree', 'laravel herd worktree', 'isolate…

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

# Laravel Herd Worktree

Spin up an isolated, runnable copy of a Laravel project on its own Herd site for feature-branch work - without colliding with your main checkout or, on **Herd Pro**, your shared dev database.

**Announce at start:** "Using herd-worktree to set up an isolated Laravel + Herd workspace."

## Design: this is a thin Herd layer on top of `vd:worktree`

Do **not** reinvent worktree mechanics. `vd:worktree` already creates the worktree under `.worktrees/<repo>-<feature>/`, copies all `.env*` (nested included), assigns a deterministic 10-port block (`.env.worktree` → `WORKTREE_PORT_BASE`), keeps `.git/info/exclude` clean, anchors agent artifacts to the main checkout, and enters the worktree. This skill only adds what Herd needs and then defers finishing to `vd:ship` / `vd:git`.

| Concern | Owner |
|---|---|
| Worktree + branch + `.env` copy + ports | **`vd:worktree`** |
| Herd site (link/secure), `.env` URL/session rewrite, DB isolation, Vite | **this skill** |
| Commit / push / PR / version | **`vd:ship`** / **`vd:git`** |

## Prerequisites

- **Laravel Herd** (Pro adds shared MySQL/Postgres/Redis services - relevant to DB isolation below). macOS.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vanducng/skills/herd-worktree@sha256:171fe03280536ca4

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
