What it does

Using Git Worktrees is an agent skill from julianromli/opencode-template. Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - creates isolated git worktrees with smart directory selection and safety verification

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Agent Workflows, covering Git worktrees. The repository describes itself as: OpenCode CLI Template by @faizntfd.

When your agent uses it

Starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace
Before executing implementation plans - creates isolated git worktrees with smart directory selection and safety verification

Example prompts

“/using-git-worktrees”

Requirements

Python 3
Node.js

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Check Existing Directories
Check CLAUDE.md
Ask User
Detect Project Name
Create Worktree
Run Project Setup
Verify Clean Baseline
Report Location

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 37ceab2. 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
- npm
- cargo
- pytest
- go
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and npm, 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

Using Git Worktrees loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 402 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.4k

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 402 words (~1,398 tokens).

“Git worktrees create isolated workspaces sharing the same repository, allowing work on multiple branches simultaneously without switching.”
