What it does
Git Worktree is an agent skill from nwiizo/ccswarm. Parallel development workflow using git worktrees. Each agent gets an isolated worktree for safe concurrent work.
Its SKILL.md is about 310 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: Multi-agent orchestration system using Claude Code with Git worktree isolation and specialized AI agents for collaborative development. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Git worktrees
Example prompts
- “/git-worktree”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- One worktree per feature/bug
- Naming: ccswarm--
- Clean up after merging
- Run git worktree prune periodically
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cec7fe. 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
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 loads about 311 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 48 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
