Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Create safe, deterministic git worktrees for large or risky workstreams using the repository-owned runtime helper and Windows-safe defaults.
140 charsno explicit “when” trigger
Intermediate

Key capabilities

  • Decide if workstream requires isolated worktree.
  • Prefer repository-owned script for worktree creation.
  • Keep branch and folder naming deterministic.
  • Preserve Windows-safe defaults.
  • Avoid destructive cleanup or implicit pruning.

How it works

The skill determines if a workstream needs an isolated Git worktree, then uses a repository-owned script to create it with deterministic and Windows-safe naming conventions.

When to use worktree-isolation-engineer

  • Managing parallel feature development
  • Isolating experimental changes from the main branch
  • Handling large or high-risk development work

Responsibilities

  • decide whether the current workstream should move into an isolated worktree
  • prefer the repository-owned script scripts/runtime/new-super-agent-worktree.ps1
  • keep branch and folder naming deterministic
  • preserve Windows-safe defaults
  • avoid destructive cleanup or implicit pruning

Output contract

  1. whether worktree isolation is recommended
  2. worktree name slug
  3. branch name
  4. worktree root and path
  5. creation command or execution result

When not to use it

  • When the workstream does not require isolation.
  • When the user prefers manual worktree management.

Limitations

  • The skill prefers a specific repository-owned script.
  • The skill focuses on Git worktrees.

How it compares

This skill automates the creation of Git worktrees with specific naming and safety conventions using a repository-owned script, unlike generic Git worktree commands.
