Use at session start, when creating change artifacts, or before implementing a plan - resolves the workspace policy (worktree by default, human-requested feature branch as exception) and never writes on the base branch; prefers native worktree tools over git worktree.
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 ## Overview Ensure work happens in an isolated workspace. Prefer your platform's native worktree tools. Fall back to manual git worktrees only when no native tool is available. **Core principle:** Detect existing isolation first. Then use native tools. Then fall back to git. Never fight the harness. **Workspace policy:** every change is written on its own branch. The default is a worktree; a simple feature branch in the main checkout is an exception the human requests explicitly. The base branch is never written to. This skill applies at three trigger points: 1. **Session start** — report the current branch, whether the working directory is a worktree and the active change. Do not create anything yet. 2. **Before creating change artifacts** — isolate first if the current branch is the base branch. 3. **Before implementing a plan** — same check. **Announce at start:** "I'm using the using-git-worktrees skill to set up an isolated workspace." ## Step 0: Detect Existing Isolation **Before creating anything, check if you are already in an isolated workspace.** ```bash GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P) …

How to install
mdr add cedaniel200/atlas-template/using-git-worktrees@sha256:823e88b91f5b2292The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.34227b1, 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.
