openagent-using-git-worktrees

What problem does it solve?

Starting feature work with isolation can be error-prone without a repeatable, gated process. This skill creates isolated git worktrees with smart directory selection and approval gates to prevent accidental commits and ensure safety checks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Isolated workspaces via Git worktrees that share the same repository but keep feature work separate.
• Approval gates at each phase: directory checks, .gitignore updates, worktree creation, and project setup.
• Handles both project-local (.worktrees or worktrees) and global (~/.config/openagent/worktrees) locations with policy-driven resolution.
• Auto-detects common project files (package.json, Cargo.toml, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml) and runs appropriate setup commands.

Quick Start

Set up an isolated Git worktree workspace with approval gates.
