What it does

New Feature is an agent skill from michaelshimeles/skills. Start a new task in an isolated Git worktree branched from origin/main so multiple agents can work on the same repo in parallel without conflicts. Use at the beginning of every new feature, fix, or task — before writing any code.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 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. The repository describes itself as: Agent skills and an AGENTS.md workflow template — isolate in worktrees, build to a service layer, prove with evidence, ship with before/after proof and Greptile review loops. For…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Git worktrees

Example prompts

  • “/new-feature”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Sync: git fetch origin.
  2. Scope check: run gh pr list and skim the open PRs' changed files
  3. Name the task: lowercase-with-hyphens plus a short unique suffix,
  4. Create the worktree from the repo root
  5. Enter and verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4b72f46. 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
    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, 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

New Feature loads about 699 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 308 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~699

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 308 words (~699 tokens).

“Every task gets its own worktree and branch, created from the latest origin/main. Never build on main, and never reuse another agent's worktree or branch.”
