EasyPlatform worktree

[IMPORTANT] Use

TaskCreate

to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ATTENTION ask user whether to skip.

Critical Thinking Mindset — Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence >80% to act. Anti-hallucination: Never present guess as fact — cite sources for every claim, admit uncertainty freely, self-check output for errors, cross-reference independently, stay skeptical of own confidence — certainty without evidence root of all hallucination.

AI Mistake Prevention — Failure modes to avoid on every task:

• Check downstream references before deleting. Deleting components causes documentation and code staleness cascades. Map all referencing files before removal.
• Verify AI-generated content against actual code. AI hallucinates APIs, class names, and method signatures. Always grep to confirm existence before documenting or referencing.
• Trace full dependency chain after edits. Changing a definition misses downstream variables and consumers derived from it. Always trace the full chain.
• Trace ALL code paths when verifying correctness. Confirming code exists is not confirming it executes. Always trace early exits, error branches, and conditional skips — not just happy path.
• When debugging, ask "whose responsibility?" before fixing. Trace whether bug is in caller (wrong data) or callee (wrong handling). Fix at responsible layer — never patch symptom site.
• Assume existing values are intentional — ask WHY before changing. Before changing any constant, limit, flag, or pattern: read comments, check git blame, examine surrounding code.
• Verify ALL affected outputs, not just the first. Changes touching multiple stacks require verifying EVERY output. One green check is not all green checks.
• Holistic-first debugging — resist nearest-attention trap. When investigating any failure, list EVERY precondition first (config, env vars, DB names, endpoints, DI registrations, data preconditions), then verify each against evidence before forming any code-layer hypothesis.
• Surgical changes — apply the diff test. Bug fix: every changed line must trace directly to the bug. Don't restyle or improve adjacent code. Enhancement task: implement improvements AND announce them explicitly.
• Surface ambiguity before coding — don't pick silently. If request has multiple interpretations, present each with effort estimate and ask. Never assume all-records, file-based, or more complex path.

Quick Summary

Goal: Create isolated git worktrees for parallel feature development with automatic branch naming and env file setup.

Workflow:

1. Get Repo Info — Run

   worktree.cjs info

   to detect repo type, base branch, env files
2. Detect Prefix — Infer branch prefix from keywords (fix, feat, refactor, docs, etc.)
3. Convert Slug — Transform description to kebab-case slug (max 50 chars)
4. Execute — Run

   worktree.cjs create

   with project, slug, prefix, and env files

Key Rules:

• For monorepos, ask user which project if not specified
• Always ask which env files to copy via AskUserQuestion
• Handle error codes (BRANCH_CHECKED_OUT, WORKTREE_EXISTS, etc.) gracefully

Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).

Create an isolated git worktree for parallel feature development.

Workflow

Step 1: Get Repository Info

node .claude/scripts/worktree.cjs info --json

Response fields:

• repoType

  : "monorepo" or "standalone"

• baseBranch

  : detected base branch

• projects

  : array of {name, path} for monorepo

• envFiles

  : array of .env* files found

• dirtyState

  : boolean

Step 2: Gather Info via AskUserQuestion

Detect branch prefix from user's description:

• Keywords "fix", "bug", "error", "issue" → prefix =

  fix

• Keywords "refactor", "restructure", "rewrite" → prefix =

  refactor

• Keywords "docs", "documentation", "readme" → prefix =

  docs

• Keywords "test", "spec", "coverage" → prefix =

  test

• Keywords "chore", "cleanup", "deps" → prefix =

  chore

• Keywords "perf", "performance", "optimize" → prefix =

  perf

• Everything else → prefix =

  feat

For MONOREPO: Use AskUserQuestion if project not specified:

// If user said "/worktree add auth" but multiple projects exist
AskUserQuestion({
    questions: [
        {
            header: 'Project',
            question: 'Which project should the worktree be created for?',
            options: projects.map(p => ({ label: p.name, description: p.path })),
            multiSelect: false
        }
    ]
});

For env files: Always ask which to copy:

AskUserQuestion({
    questions: [
        {
            header: 'Env files',
            question: 'Which environment files should be copied to the worktree?',
            options: envFiles.map(f => ({ label: f, description: 'Copy to worktree' })),
            multiSelect: true
        }
    ]
});

Step 3: Convert Description to Slug

• "add authentication system" →

  add-auth

• "fix login bug" →

  login-bug

• Remove filler words, kebab-case, max 50 chars

Step 4: Execute Command

Monorepo:

node .claude/scripts/worktree.cjs create "<PROJECT>" "<SLUG>" --prefix <TYPE> --env "<FILES>"

Standalone:

node .claude/scripts/worktree.cjs create "<SLUG>" --prefix <TYPE> --env "<FILES>"

Options:

• --prefix

  - Branch type: feat|fix|refactor|docs|test|chore|perf

• --env

  - Comma-separated .env files to copy

• --json

  - Output JSON for parsing

• --dry-run

  - Preview without executing

Example Session

User: /worktree fix the login validation bug

Claude: [Runs: node .claude/scripts/worktree.cjs info --json]
        [Detects: standalone repo, envFiles: [".env.example"]]
        [Detects prefix from "fix" keyword: fix]
        [Converts slug: "login-validation-bug"]

Claude: [Uses AskUserQuestion for env files]
        "Which environment files should be copied?"
        Options: .env.example

User: .env.example

Claude: [Runs: node .claude/scripts/worktree.cjs create "login-validation-bug" --prefix fix --env ".env.example"]

Output: Worktree created at ../worktrees/myrepo-login-validation-bug
        Branch: fix/login-validation-bug

Closing Reminders

• IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION break work into small todo tasks using

  TaskCreate

  BEFORE starting
• IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION search codebase for 3+ similar patterns before creating new code
• IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION cite

  file:line

  evidence for every claim (confidence >80% to act)
• IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION add a final review todo task to verify work quality <!-- SYNC:critical-thinking-mindset:reminder -->
• MUST ATTENTION apply critical thinking — every claim needs traced proof, confidence >80% to act. Anti-hallucination: never present guess as fact. <!-- /SYNC:critical-thinking-mindset:reminder --> <!-- SYNC:ai-mistake-prevention:reminder -->
