At a glance

Manage git worktrees using wtx CLI for parallel development workflows on Windows.

  • Works in 3 steps: Determine the Operation → Execute the Command → Post-Operation Guidance
  • Asked to create a worktree
  • SKILL.md covers Prerequisites, Step 1: Determine the Operation, Step 2: Execute the Command and Step 3: Post-Operation Guidance, plus 1 more section
  • Calls pnpm, pwsh and git; reaches github.com

What it does

Worktree Management is an agent skill from deadlock-mod-manager/deadlock-mod-manager. Manage git worktrees using wtx CLI for parallel development workflows on Windows. Use when asked to "create a worktree", "add a worktree", "switch worktree", "remove worktree", "list worktrees", "clean worktrees", "wtx", or set up parallel development branches.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Windows only. Requires PowerShell 7+ (pwsh) and git on PATH.

It sits in Development, covering Git worktrees. It works with PowerShell and Tauri. The repository describes itself as: A mod manager for the Valve game Deadlock. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to create a worktree
  • Switch worktree
  • Remove worktree
  • Clean worktrees

Example prompts

  • “create a worktree”
  • “add a worktree”
  • “switch worktree”
  • “/worktree-management”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Windows only. Requires PowerShell 7+ (pwsh) and git on PATH.

Workflow steps

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

  1. Determine the Operation
  2. Execute the Command
  3. Post-Operation Guidance

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e5a8f5e. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm
    • pwsh
    • git

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Windows only. Requires PowerShell 7+ (pwsh) and git on PATH.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Worktree Management loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 448 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:60
    - `.env`, `.env.local` (environment config)
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:100
    | `add.copy-env.files`       | `.env`, `.env.local`, `.tauri/*` | Files copied to new worktrees |

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Manage git worktrees using wtx CLI for parallel development workflows on Windows. Use when asked to "create a worktree", "add a worktree", "switch worktree", "remove worktree", "list worktrees", "clean worktrees", "wtx", or set up parallel development branches.
compatibility
Windows only. Requires PowerShell 7+ (pwsh) and git on PATH.

Manage Git Worktrees with wtx

Use the wtx PowerShell CLI to create, navigate, and manage git worktrees for parallel development in this monorepo.

This skill is Windows-only. If the current platform is not Windows (check $env:OS or uname), stop and inform the user that wtx requires Windows with PowerShell 7+. Recommend git-worktree-runner for Linux/macOS instead — see the Worktree Development section in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Prerequisites

Before running any wtx command, verify the environment:

  1. Confirm the shell is PowerShell 7+ (pwsh), not cmd.exe or bash-on-WSL.
  2. Confirm wtx is installed: Test-Path "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\wtx\wtx.ps1" must return True.
  3. Confirm the repo is initialized: .wtx.kv exists in the repo root.

If wtx is not installed, direct the user to install it:

powershell
git clone https://github.com/littlesmilelove/worktree.ps.git $env:TEMP\worktree.ps
pwsh -File $env:TEMP\worktree.ps\install.ps1
. $PROFILE

If .wtx.kv is missing, run wtx init inside the repo first.

Step 1: Determine the Operation

User Intentwtx Command
Create a new worktreewtx add <name>
List existing worktreeswtx list
Get path to a worktreewtx path <name>
Get main repo pathwtx main
Remove a worktreewtx rm <name> --yes
Clean numeric worktreeswtx clean
View/change configwtx config list|get|set|unset

Step 2: Execute the Command

All wtx commands must run through PowerShell 7 to ensure the shell hook and profile are loaded:

powershell
pwsh -Command "& { . $PROFILE; wtx <command> }"

Do not run wtx via cmd.exe, Git Bash, or WSL — it will fail or behave unexpectedly.

Creating a Worktree

When creating a worktree with wtx add <name>:

  1. A new directory is created at ../<repo>.<name> (e.g., ../deadlock-modmanager.fix-123)
  2. A branch feat/<name> is created from the default branch (main)
  3. The following files are automatically copied from the main repo:
    • .env, .env.local (environment config)
    • .tauri/updater.key, .tauri/updater.key.pub (Tauri signing keys)
  4. pnpm install runs automatically to install dependencies
  5. pnpm dev starts the dev server (logs to <worktree>/tmp/dev.log)

Naming Conventions

Follow the project's branch naming from .cursor/skills/git-conventions/SKILL.md:

  • Use descriptive kebab-case names: wtx add fix-mod-conflict
  • Include ticket numbers when applicable: wtx add KR-123-add-collections
  • Numeric names (e.g., wtx add 3000) are for quick throwaway worktrees
Removing a Worktree

Before removing, warn the user to:

  1. Close any editors or terminals open in the worktree directory
  2. Commit or stash any unsaved changes

Then run: wtx rm <name> --yes

Step 3: Post-Operation Guidance

After creating a worktree, inform the user:

  • The worktree path (from wtx path <name>)
  • The branch name (feat/<name>)
  • That they can switch to it with wtx <name> in PowerShell
  • That they can return to main with wtx main

Configuration Reference

Current repo config is in .wtx.kv. Key settings:
