SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enables safe experiments by providing isolated workspaces via git worktrees, preventing feature work from polluting the main workspace.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Isolated feature workspaces that share the same repository, preserving a clean baseline.
  • Safe multi-task development for parallel features, risky refactors, or subagent-driven work.
  • Guidance for directory selection, configuration-driven preferences, and user prompts to establish a clean starting point.

Quick Start

Create and switch to an isolated git worktree for your feature before starting implementation.

FAQPage Schema
What is a git worktree and when do I need it for feature work?▼

A git worktree creates an isolated workspace sharing the same repository, preventing feature work from polluting your main workspace. You need it for parallel development, risky refactors, or multi-task implementation plans.

How do I create an isolated git worktree for parallel development?▼

To create an isolated git worktree, follow guided steps for directory selection and configuration preferences to establish a clean starting point. It enforces safety checks and defines creation steps to protect your main workspace.

Does git worktree work for managing multiple branches and multi-task implementation?▼

Yes, git worktree supports safe multi-task development by allowing parallel features and subagent-driven work in isolated directories. It defines creation steps and ensures proper cleanup and verification.

What's the best way to isolate risky refactors without affecting the main workspace?▼

The best way to isolate risky refactors is using a git worktree to establish a clean baseline. It applies safety checks to protect the main workspace while allowing safe experiments in isolated feature workspaces.

How do I clean up and verify git worktrees after completing feature work?▼

Cleaning up git worktrees involves enforced verification steps to ensure proper removal after feature work. It guarantees safe cleanup of isolated workspaces, protecting the repository's main workspace from pollution.
