What it does
Worktree Manager is an agent skill from Wirasm/worktree-manager-skill. Create, manage, and cleanup git worktrees with Claude Code agents across all projects. USE THIS SKILL when user says "create worktree", "spin up worktrees", "new worktree for X", "worktree status", "cleanup worktrees", "sync worktrees", or wants parallel development branches. Also use when creating PRs from a worktree branch (to update registry with PR number). Handles worktree creation, dependency installation, validation, agent launching in Ghostty, and global registry management.
Its SKILL.md is about 5.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including scripts (for example `config.json`, `scripts/allocate-ports.sh` and `scripts/cleanup.sh`).
It sits in Development, covering Git worktrees. The repository describes itself as: a claude code skill for effortless worktree management.
When your agent uses it
- User says create worktree
- Spin up worktrees
- New worktree for X
- Worktree status
Example prompts
- “create worktree”
- “spin up worktrees”
- “new worktree for X”
- “/worktree-manager”
Requirements
- Node.js
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Create Multiple Worktrees with Agents
- Check Status
- Launch Agent Manually
- Cleanup Worktree
- Create PR from Worktree
- Sync Registry
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9279462. 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
Ships 7 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
jqgituvgoosascriptghbunpnpmyarnnpmpipcargo
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, uv, gh, pnpm, yarn, npm and pip, 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 Manager loads about 5.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 126 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,068 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:298
cp .env.example $WORKTREE_PATH/.env 2>/dev/null || true
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,068 words (~5,604 tokens).
“Manage parallel development across ALL projects using git worktrees with Claude Code agents. Each worktree is an isolated copy of the repo on a different branch, stored centrally at ~/tmp/worktrees/.”
