Run parallel agent sessions on the same repo using git worktrees without corrupting the primary checkout. Use when an agent needs an isolated working directory for a prototype, a long-running experiment, a parallel branch, or a deploy artifact, especially when Frontier is being driven from a single primary clone.
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 Worktrees > WHEN: An agent (or two agents) needs an isolated working directory on the same repository -- for a parallel branch, a deploy-prototype run, an experimentation-loop attempt, or a long investigation that should not touch the primary checkout's working tree. ## When to Use This Skill Load this skill when: - Two agents need to operate on the same repository in parallel - An experimentation-loop attempt needs its own working tree so the main checkout stays clean - A deploy / prototype build needs an isolated `dist/` and `node_modules` without polluting the primary tree - A long debugging session needs to compare two branches side-by-side without stashing Skip when: - The change is a single in-place edit on the current branch - The user has explicitly asked you to operate only inside the primary checkout - The repo contains active submodules that have not been audited for worktree safety ## Prerequisites - `git` 2.5+ (worktree command), 2.20+ recommended for `worktree remove` - Write access to the worktrees parent directory - Knowledge of whether the repo uses submodules (worktrees + submodules need extra care) ## Rationalization Table …

How to install
mdr add jnpiyush/agentx/git-worktrees@sha256:d7af6aaba7002c22The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.244da72, 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.
