Skill instructions
Using Git Worktrees Overview Ensure work happens in an isolated workspace. Prefer your platform's native worktree tools. Fall back to manual git worktrees only when no native tool is available. Core principle: Detect existing isolation first. Then use native tools. Then fall back to git. Never fight the harness. Announce at start: "I'm using the using-git-worktrees skill to set up an isolated workspace." Step 0: Detect Existing Isolation Before creating anything, check if you are already in an isolated workspace. bash GITDIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2/dev/null && pwd -P) GITCOMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2/dev/null && pwd -P) BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current) Submodule guard: GITDIR != GITCOMMON is also true inside git submodules. Before concluding "already in a worktree," verify you are not in a submodule: bash If this returns a path, you're in a submodule, not a worktree — treat as normal repo git rev-parse --show-superproject-working-tree 2/dev/null If GI
