What it does

Parallel Worktrees is an agent skill from rohitg00/pro-workflow. Create and manage git worktrees for parallel coding sessions with zero dead time. Use when blocked on tests, builds, wanting to work on multiple branches, context switching, or exploring multiple approaches simultaneously.

Its SKILL.md is about 650 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: Claude Code learns from your corrections: self-correcting memory that compounds over 50+ sessions. Context engineering, parallel worktrees, agent teams, and 17 battle-tested…

When your agent uses it

  • Blocked on tests
  • Wanting to work on multiple branches
  • Context switching
  • Exploring multiple approaches simultaneously

Example prompts

  • “/parallel-worktrees”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Show current worktrees: git worktree list
  2. Create a worktree for the parallel task.
  3. Open a new editor/terminal session in the worktree.
  4. When done, clean up the worktree.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 86d5f27. 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
    • claude

    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

Parallel Worktrees loads about 645 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 235 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
~645

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 235 words (~645 tokens).

“Zero dead time. While one session runs tests, work on something else.”
