Worktree Parallel Skill

This skill automates creating and managing Git worktrees for simultaneous feature development.

Key Purpose

"Create and manage a git worktree for parallel feature development, then open the new worktree in the editor" for concurrent coding sessions.

Core Workflow Steps

Confirm repository root — Use the current directory unless specified otherwise
Establish branch naming — Default pattern is
```
feat/<slug>
```
, or use user-provided branch names
Set worktree directory — Typically
```
../<project_name>-wt
```
(created if needed)
Execute worktree creation — Uses
```
git worktree add
```
with either new or existing branches
Launch editor — Opens the worktree via
```
code -n <path>
```
or alternative editor command
Initiate Codex session — Suggests running
```
cd <path> && codex
```
in the new workspace
Verify setup — Optional confirmation using
```
git worktree list
```

Safety Guidelines

Avoids
```
--force
```
flags unless explicitly requested
Preserves existing worktrees unless cleanup is requested
Offers optional removal commands only when the user asks

This skill streamlines parallel development workflows by eliminating manual setup steps.
