Worktrunk running-tend
Worktrunk-specific guidance for tend CI workflows. Adds codecov polling, Rust test commands, labels, and review criteria on top of the generic tend-* skills. Use when operating in CI.

.claude/skills/running-tend/SKILL.mdWorktrunk Tend CI
Project-specific guidance for tend workflows running on worktrunk (a Rust CLI for managing git worktrees). The generic skills (
tend-running-in-ci,
tend-review, tend-triage, etc.) provide the workflow framework;
this skill adds worktrunk conventions.
Codecov Monitoring
After required CI checks pass, poll
codecov/patch — it is mandatory despite
being marked non-required:
for i in $(seq 1 5); do CODECOV=$(gh pr checks <number> 2>&1 | grep 'codecov/patch' || true) if echo "$CODECOV" | grep -q 'pass'; then echo "codecov/patch passed"; exit 0 elif echo "$CODECOV" | grep -q 'fail'; then echo "codecov/patch FAILED"; exit 1 fi sleep 60 done
If codecov fails, investigate with
task coverage and
cargo llvm-cov report --show-missing-lines | grep <file>.
Test Commands
cargo run -- hook pre-merge --yes # full suite + lints cargo test --lib --bins # unit tests only cargo test --test integration # integration tests only
CI runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS.

CI Fix: Prefer Rerun for Transient Infrastructure Failures
Before opening a
fix/ci-* PR, classify the failure:
- Transient infrastructure (link-check timeouts, apt-get flakes, GitHub outages, runner disk issues, codecov upload blips) — do not create a PR. The maintainer will rerun CI. Comment on the run or exit silently; a permanent config change for a one-off timeout is churn the maintainer will close.
- Flaky test (known-flaky or first-seen PTY/shell test) — exit without a PR (same behavior as prior test-flake ci-fix runs).
- Real regression — proceed with a fix PR.
Lychee link-check timeouts are always transient unless the same URL has failed on at least two separate runs within the last few days.
.config/lychee.toml
already sets max_retries = 6 and lists known-unreliable hosts; one timeout
is not enough evidence to extend that list. Signals you have a transient
failure, not a broken link:
- The previous CI run on the same or a nearby commit passed.
- Only
is reported (not[TIMEOUT]
/404
/403
).410 - The URL is reachable from a local
.curl
When in doubt, post a comment on the failed run summarizing the diagnosis and wait — don't open a PR.
Applying GitHub Suggestions
Apply the literal suggestion only — change the lines it covers, nothing more. If surrounding lines also need updating, note that in your reply.
Issue Triage
When a bug may already be fixed, ask the reporter:
wt --version
When an issue involves config, shell integration, completions, or unexpected behavior that could stem from user setup, ask the reporter for
wt config show output. This reveals installed shells, config paths, and
active settings — essential context for diagnosing config-related problems.
Closing Duplicates
When an issue is clearly a duplicate, close it after commenting. Use
gh issue close <number> and tell the reporter: if they believe this was
closed in error, they can let us know and we'll reopen it.
Suggesting Aliases for Niche Feature Requests
Deflect narrow feature requests to aliases rather than native flags — this keeps the CLI surface small while giving users the behavior immediately. Suggest an alias when:
- The request benefits a small subset of users or a single reporter's workflow (e.g., idempotent create-or-switch, auto-push after merge)
- The behavior can be composed from existing
commands or shell primitiveswt - A shell one-liner or
alias covers the use casewt step
How to respond:
- Draft the alias (shell function or
alias, whichever fits better)wt step - Test it in a scratch worktree — verify it works for the happy path and edge cases (e.g., branch already exists, dirty worktree, missing remote)
- Post the tested alias in the issue with usage examples
- Link to the aliases docs and tips & patterns for further recipes
Weekly Maintenance: MSRV & Toolchain
Bump both MSRV and the development toolchain to latest stable − 1. When Rust 1.N is the current stable release, set both to 1.(N−1).
Files to update:
| File | Field | Example (if stable is 1.94) |
|---|---|---|
| | |
| | |
| | |
flake.nix reads the channel from rust-toolchain.toml, so no separate bump
is needed. After updating the toolchain, refresh flake.lock so the locked
rust-overlay revision knows about the new version:
nix flake update
Commit
flake.lock alongside the other toolchain changes. After bumping, run
the full test suite (cargo run -- hook pre-merge --yes) and verify
cargo msrv verify passes.
Weekly Maintenance: Statusline Cache-Check
Detect new in-process cache-miss duplicates introduced by recent changes by running
wt-perf cache-check against a real wt list statusline --claude-code
trace. The render runs on every Claude Code prompt redraw, so duplicate git
subprocesses there compound into measurable fseventsd / IPC load.
# Run from any worktree of this repo cat > /tmp/statusline-input.json <<'EOF' {"hook_event_name":"Status","workspace":{"current_dir":"REPLACE_WITH_CWD"}, "model":{"display_name":"Opus"},"context_window":{"used_percentage":42.0}} EOF sed -i '' "s|REPLACE_WITH_CWD|$PWD|" /tmp/statusline-input.json RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --release -- list statusline --claude-code \ < /tmp/statusline-input.json 2>&1 \ | cargo run -p wt-perf -- cache-check
The report flags commands invoked more than once with the same context. Triage each duplicate:
- Legitimate (different cwd, different ref form that can't be normalized, intentional double-call across phases) — note in the response and move on.
- Cache miss (same logical operation should hit cache but doesn't) —
open an issue or fix it. Past examples:
vsmerge_base("main", "<sha>")
keying separately;merge_base("main", "branch")
vsworktree_at(cwd)
not canonicalizing.worktree_at(porcelain_path)
Baseline as of 2026-04-13: 29 git subprocesses per render on a clean tree (see PR #2209). A jump above ~32 on a clean tree warrants investigation.
README Date Check
The README blockquote opens with a month+year (e.g., "April 2026"). During daily maintenance, verify the month matches the current month and update it if stale.
