Skill instructions
Set Up Reuse the existing worktree if present, otherwise create one. Run subsequent steps from the worktree directory. pwsh $pr = <N $repo = git rev-parse --show-toplevel Guard against recursion if the current working tree is already a worktree under <repo.worktrees if ((Split-Path (Split-Path $repo -Parent) -Leaf) -match '.worktrees$') { $repo = (git worktree list --porcelain | Select-String -Pattern '^worktree ' | Select-Object -First 1).Line.Substring(9) } $branch = gh pr view $pr --json headRefName -q .headRefName $folder = $branch -replace '[^A-Za-z0-9.-]', '-' $worktree = Join-Path "$repo.worktrees" $folder if (-not (Test-Path $worktree)) { git worktree add --no-checkout $worktree HEAD Push-Location $worktree gh pr checkout $pr Pop-Location } Push-Location $worktree Tear Down When the caller is done with the worktree and didn't make any changes, remove it and the local branch.
