What it does

Worktree Sync All is an agent skill from mrchantey/beet. Sync the main branch with every worktree in both directions, applying the worktree-sync-upstream skill to each in turn, then levelling them. Use when asked to sync all worktrees.

Its SKILL.md is about 480 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: A malleable engine built on interoperable standards. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to sync all worktrees
  • Tasks that involve Git worktrees

Example prompts

  • “/worktree-sync-all”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 38648b8. 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
    • cargo
    • just

    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

Worktree Sync All loads about 483 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 275 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~483

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.

description
Sync the main branch with every worktree in both directions, applying the worktree-sync-upstream skill to each in turn, then levelling them. Use when asked to sync all worktrees.

Worktree Sync All

Sync ~/me/beet's main with every worktree, in both directions, by applying the worktree-sync-upstream skill to each.

Which worktrees

Enumerate them, never hard-code them: git -C ~/me/beet worktree list. A hard-coded list goes stale the first time a worktree is added or renamed, and then the sync silently skips real work. Every worktree it lists is in scope; treat none as experimental unless the operator says so for that run.

One at a time, then level

Sync them sequentially, never in parallel: each one's last act is a fast-forward of main, and two of those at once race for the same ref.

Sequential syncing has a consequence worth knowing before you report success. Each worktree is level with main at the moment ITS sync finishes, and then the next one pushes on top, so by the end only the last worktree is actually level. Finish with a levelling pass: git -C <dir> checkout --detach <final main sha> for every worktree but the last. Those are pure fast-forwards, since each worktree's own commits are already in main by then, so no hash is minted and nothing can duplicate.

Only then does git rev-list --left-right --count HEAD...main report 0 0 from every worktree, which is the real end condition.

Rules

  • Do not run cargo fmt; formatting is just fmt.
  • Keep every worktree detached and never push to origin unless asked.
  • If resolving a conflict changes content, re-sync the worktrees that already finished, so everything ends in lockstep.
  • Use subagents where appropriate, ie to investigate a nasty bug that would blow up your context.
  • If asked to do the works, run the test-the-works skill after synchronising.
