Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from the current workspace — sets up a secure safehouse with git worktrees for clean operational bases.

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

# The Safehouse: Git Worktrees

## Overview

Git worktrees create isolated operational bases sharing the same repository. Work on multiple branches simultaneously without compromising the main workspace.

**Core principle:** Systematic directory selection + safety verification = reliable isolation.

**Announce at start:** "Setting up a safehouse for isolated operations."

## Directory Selection Process

Follow this priority order:

### 1. Check Existing Safehouses

```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 Project Config

```bash
grep -i "worktree.*director" AGENTS.md 2>/dev/null
```

**If preference specified:** Use it without asking.

### 3. Ask the Don

If no directory exists and no config preference:

```
No safehouse directory found. Where should I set up?

1. .worktrees/ (project-local, hidden)
2. ~/.config/gangsta/worktrees/<project-name>/ (global location)

Which would you prefer?
```

## Safety Verification

### For Project-Local Directories (.worktrees or worktrees)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kucherenko/gangsta/safehouse-worktrees@sha256:25358cc1cb4908c8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260511.f414015, 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.
