Git Worktree Manager

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Running multiple feature branches simultaneously
• Isolating experimental work
• Coordinating multi-agent development across the same repo

Example prompts

• “/git-worktree-manager”

Requirements

• Python 3
• Docker

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

1. 1Create a Fully-Prepared Worktree
2. 2Run Parallel Sessions
3. 3Cleanup with Safety Checks
4. 4Docker Compose Pattern
5. 5Port Allocation Strategy

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • python
  • git

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Git Worktree Manager loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 112 tokens; SKILL.md has 811 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~112

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.8k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~2.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:22

  - Copy local environment files (`.env*`) from main repo to new worktree

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:105

  - Copy `.env*` files

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:140

  3. `.env` files copied successfully (if present in source repo).

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description

Run parallel feature work safely with Git worktrees. Standardizes branch isolation, port allocation, environment sync, and cleanup so each worktree behaves like an independent local app. Optimized for multi-agent workflows where each agent or terminal session owns one worktree. Use when running multiple feature branches simultaneously, isolating experimental work, or coordinating multi-agent development across the same repo.
