Set up a new git worktree for parallel development. An agent skill from Elite588/AUTOGPT.

  • User asks to set up a worktree
  • SKILL.md covers Create the worktree, Copy environment files, Install dependencies and Running the app (optional), plus 3 more sections
  • Calls git, poetry and pnpm
  • Work on a branch in isolation

What it does

Worktree is an agent skill from Elite588/AUTOGPT. Set up a new git worktree for parallel development. Creates the worktree, copies .env files, installs dependencies, and generates Prisma client. TRIGGER when user asks to set up a worktree, work on a branch in isolation, or needs a separate environment for a branch or PR.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Git worktrees. It works with Git and Prisma. The repository describes itself as: AutoGPT is the vision of accessible AI for everyone, to use and to build on. Our mission is to provide the tools, so that you can focus on what matters. It is a powerful platform…

When your agent uses it

  • User asks to set up a worktree
  • Work on a branch in isolation
  • Needs a separate environment for a branch

Example prompts

  • “/worktree”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e4bc5b. 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:

    • git
    • poetry
    • pnpm

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • npmjs.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.

Context cost

Worktree loads about 667 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 106 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
~667

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.

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 106 words (~667 tokens).

“Derive paths from the git toplevel. If a name is provided as argument, use it. Otherwise, check git worktree list and pick the next AutoGPT.”
