What it does

Worktree Isolation is an agent skill from prassanna-ravishankar/repowire. Use when splitting work across peers, creating or selecting feature worktrees, preventing overlapping edits, or deciding whether to reroute implementation out of the main worktree.

Its SKILL.md is about 330 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. The repository describes itself as: May the agents talk . Connect Claude Code, Opencode, Codex, Pi across projects, across machines and with your telegram.

When your agent uses it

  • Splitting work across peers
  • Selecting feature worktrees
  • Preventing overlapping edits
  • Deciding whether to reroute implementation out of the main worktree

Example prompts

  • “/worktree-isolation”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7c8100a. 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

Worktree Isolation loads about 329 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 156 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~329

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 156 words (~329 tokens).

“Use one worktree per independent implementation concern. This keeps peers from editing the same files blindly and makes review/cleanup tractable.”
