About this skill

Worktree

Manage git worktrees for isolated per-issue/per-PR work. Three sub-actions, each in its own sibling file.

Action selection

User intent Sibling Slash command
Create one worktree for an issue or PR create.md /create-worktree <num>
Remove a specific worktree (interactively) remove.md /remove-worktree
Batch-clean all completed worktrees prune.md /prune-worktree

Match the user's request to one of the three rows, then read the corresponding sibling for the full procedure.

Conventions (apply to all three actions)

  • Worktree path: ../<reponame>-issue-<num>-<title-slug>/ — sibling to the source repo, never inside it
  • Branch name: issue-<num>-<title-slug>
  • Title slug: lowercase, alnum + hyphens, derived from gh issue view --json title
  • Identifier rule: issue-<NUM>- prefix is the trusted issue marker on a branch — fix/2fa-login contains a number but is NOT an issue branch
  • Default branch: git remote show origin | grep 'HEAD branch' (handles repos with main vs master vs custom)
  • State file: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/worktree-state.sh registers the active worktree so the pre-tool-use hook blocks accidental edits to the source repo

Prerequisites (all three)

  • gh CLI installed and authenticated
  • Run from inside a git repository (any worktree of the repo, not just the main checkout)

Further Reading

  • create.md — full create procedure (PR vs issue detection, env-file copy, state registration)
  • remove.md — interactive selection + safety-check matrix (issue closed? branch merged? uncommitted changes?)
  • prune.md — batch evaluation, classification, confirmation, removal
