At a glance

Manage git worktrees with their own dev ports, symlinked .env files, playground, and simulations.

  • The user asks to create
  • SKILL.md covers --init on an existing worktree and Notes
  • Calls git
  • Remove a worktree

What it does

Worktree is an agent skill from rhesis-ai/rhesis. Manage git worktrees with their own dev ports, symlinked .env files, playground, and simulations. Use when the user asks to create, set up, list, enter, or remove a worktree.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 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: The collaboration layer for AI teams: domain experts annotate and review agent behavior, engineers improve the agent from what they find.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to create
  • Remove a worktree

Example prompts

  • “/worktree”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bb3d0df. 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 loads about 627 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 332 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~627

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:3
    rees with their own dev ports, symlinked .env files, playground, and simulations. Use when the user asks to create, set

    `domain.local/`, the `.env` files and the Claude config, then copies `apps/backend/.env` and
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:37
    `apps/frontend/.env.local` and shifts their ports. It's idempotent — re-running reports what's

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 332 words (~627 tokens).

“Run ./rh worktree $ARGUMENTS from the repo root. Why worktrees must go through this command at all — and how the WorktreeCreate hook routes EnterWorktree into it — is in AGENTS.md; this skill is the command surface.”

When should I use Worktree?

Worktree fits situations like: the user asks to create; remove a worktree.

How do I install Worktree in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add rhesis-ai/rhesis --skill worktree -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/worktree in rhesis-ai/rhesis) into .claude/skills/worktree in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Worktree in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add rhesis-ai/rhesis --skill worktree -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/worktree, .gemini/skills/worktree, .github/skills/worktree and .opencode/skills/worktree in your project.

What does Worktree need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Worktree needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git).

Does Worktree access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Worktree safe to install?

What licence does Worktree use?

Worktree has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Worktree use?

About 627 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
