- # Using Git Worktrees
7
-
8
- ## Overview
9
-
10
- Git worktrees create isolated workspaces sharing the same repository, allowing work on multiple branches simultaneously without switching.
11
-
12
- **Core principle:** Systematic directory selection + safety verification = reliable isolation.
13
-
14
- **Announce at start:** "I'm using the using-git-worktrees skill to set up an isolated workspace."
15
-
16
- ## Directory Selection Process
17
-
18
- Follow this priority order:
19
-
20
- ### 1. Check Existing Directories
21
-
22
- ```bash
23
- # Check in priority order
24
- ls -d .worktrees 2>/dev/null # Preferred (hidden)
25
- ls -d worktrees 2>/dev/null # Alternative
26
- ```
27
-
28
- **If found:** Use that directory. If both exist, `.worktrees` wins.
29
-
30
- ### 2. Check AGENTS.md / OpenCode config
31
-
32
- ```bash
33
- # Check AGENTS.md for worktree directory preference
34
- grep -i "worktree.*director" AGENTS.md 2>/dev/null || grep -ri "worktree" .opencode/ 2>/dev/null
35
- ```
36
-
37
- **If preference specified:** Use it without asking.
38
-
39
- ### 3. Ask User
40
-
41
- If no directory exists and no AGENTS.md / OpenCode preference:
42
-
43
- ```
44
- No worktree directory found. Where should I create worktrees?
45
-
46
- 1. .worktrees/ (project-local, hidden)
47
- 2. worktrees/ (project-local, visible)
48
-
49
- Which would you prefer?
50
- ```
51
-
52
- ## Safety Verification
53
-
54
- ### For Project-Local Directories (.worktrees or worktrees)
55
-
56
- **MUST verify directory is ignored before creating worktree:**
57
-
58
- ```bash
59
- # Check if directory is ignored (respects local, global, and system gitignore)
60
- git check-ignore -q .worktrees 2>/dev/null || git check-ignore -q worktrees 2>/dev/null
61
- ```
62
-
63
- **If NOT ignored:**
64
-
65
- Per Jesse's rule "Fix broken things immediately":
66
- 1. Add appropriate line to .gitignore
67
- 2. Commit the change
68
- 3. Proceed with worktree creation
69
-
70
- **Why critical:** Prevents accidentally committing worktree contents to repository.
71
-
72
- ## Creation Steps
73
-
74
- ### 1. Detect Project Name
75
-
76
- ```bash
77
- project=$(basename "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)")
78
- ```
79
-
80
- ### 2. Create Worktree
81
-
82
- ```bash
83
- # Determine full path
84
- case $LOCATION in
85
- .worktrees|worktrees)
86
- path="$LOCATION/$BRANCH_NAME"
87
- ;;
88
- esac
89
-
90
- # Create worktree with new branch
91
- git worktree add "$path" -b "$BRANCH_NAME"
92
- cd "$path"
93
- ```
94
-
95
- ### 3. Run Project Setup
96
-
97
- Auto-detect and run appropriate setup:
98
-
99
- ```bash
100
- # Node.js
101
- if [ -f package.json ]; then npm install; fi
102
-
103
- # Rust
104
- if [ -f Cargo.toml ]; then cargo build; fi
105
-
106
- # Python
107
- if [ -f requirements.txt ]; then pip install -r requirements.txt; fi
108
- if [ -f pyproject.toml ]; then poetry install; fi
109
-
110
- # Go
111
- if [ -f go.mod ]; then go mod download; fi
112
- ```
113
-
114
- ### 4. Verify Clean Baseline
115
-
116
- Run tests to ensure worktree starts clean:
117
-
118
- ```bash
119
- # Examples - use project-appropriate command
120
- npm test
121
- cargo test
122
- pytest
123
- go test ./...
124
- ```
125
-
126
- **If tests fail:** Report failures, ask whether to proceed or investigate.
127
-
128
- **If tests pass:** Report ready.
129
-
130
- ### 5. Report Location
131
-
132
- ```
133
- Worktree ready at <full-path>
134
- Tests passing (<N> tests, 0 failures)
135
- Ready to implement <feature-name>
136
- ```
137
-
138
- ## Quick Reference
139
-
140
- | Situation | Action |
141
- |-----------|--------|
142
- | `.worktrees/` exists | Use it (verify ignored) |
143
- | `worktrees/` exists | Use it (verify ignored) |
144
- | Both exist | Use `.worktrees/` |
145
- | Neither exists | Check AGENTS.md / .opencode → Ask user |
146
- | Directory not ignored | Add to .gitignore + commit |
147
- | Tests fail during baseline | Report failures + ask |
148
- | No package.json/Cargo.toml | Skip dependency install |
149
-
150
- ## Common Mistakes
151
-
152
- ### Skipping ignore verification
153
-
154
- - **Problem:** Worktree contents get tracked, pollute git status
155
- - **Fix:** Always use `git check-ignore` before creating project-local worktree
156
-
157
- ### Assuming directory location
158
-
159
- - **Problem:** Creates inconsistency, violates project conventions
160
- - **Fix:** Follow priority: existing > AGENTS.md / .opencode > ask
161
-
162
- ### Proceeding with failing tests
163
-
164
- - **Problem:** Can't distinguish new bugs from pre-existing issues
165
- - **Fix:** Report failures, get explicit permission to proceed
166
-
167
- ### Hardcoding setup commands
168
-
169
- - **Problem:** Breaks on projects using different tools
170
- - **Fix:** Auto-detect from project files (package.json, etc.)
171
-
172
- ## Example Workflow
173
-
174
- ```
175
- You: I'm using the using-git-worktrees skill to set up an isolated workspace.
176
-
177
- [Check .worktrees/ - exists]
178
- [Check AGENTS.md - no preference specified]
179
- [Verify ignored - git check-ignore confirms .worktrees/ is ignored]
180
- [Create worktree: git worktree add .worktrees/auth -b feature/auth]
181
- [Run npm install]
182
- [Run npm test - 47 passing]
183
-
184
- Worktree ready at /Users/jesse/myproject/.worktrees/auth
185
- Tests passing (47 tests, 0 failures)
186
- Ready to implement auth feature
187
- ```
188
-
189
- ## Red Flags
190
-
191
- **Never:**
192
- - Create worktree without verifying it's ignored (project-local)
193
- - Skip baseline test verification
194
- - Proceed with failing tests without asking
195
- - Assume directory location when ambiguous
196
- - Skip AGENTS.md / .opencode check
197
-
198
- **Always:**
199
- - Follow directory priority: existing > AGENTS.md / .opencode > ask
200
- - Verify directory is ignored for project-local
201
- - Auto-detect and run project setup
202
- - Verify clean test baseline
203
-
204
- ## Integration
205
-
206
- **Called by:**
207
- - **brainstorming** (creative-design mode) - REQUIRED when design is approved and implementation follows
208
- - **subagent-driven-development** - REQUIRED before executing any tasks
209

16
- </EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT>

18
- ## Instruction Priority
19
-
20
- Superpowers skills override default system prompt behavior, but **user instructions always take precedence**:
21
-
22
- 1. **User's explicit instructions** (AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md, direct requests) — highest priority
23
- 2. **Superpowers skills** — override default system behavior where they conflict
24
- 3. **Default system prompt** — lowest priority
25
-
26
- If AGENTS.md or GEMINI.md says "don't use TDD" and a skill says "always use TDD," follow the user's instructions. The user is in control.
27
-
28
- ## How to Access Skills
29
-
30
- **In OpenCode:** Use the `skill` tool. Skills are loaded from `.opencode/skills/`, `assets/skills/`, and installed plugins. When you invoke a skill, its content is loaded and presented to you—follow it directly. Never use the Read tool on skill files.
31
-
32
- **In Copilot CLI:** Use the `skill` tool. Skills are auto-discovered from installed plugins.
33
-
34
- **In Gemini CLI:** Skills activate via the `activate_skill` tool. Gemini loads skill metadata at session start and activates the full content on demand.
35
-
36
- # Using Skills
37
-
38
- ## The Rule
39
-
40
- **Invoke relevant or requested skills BEFORE any response or action.** Even a 1% chance a skill might apply means that you should invoke the skill to check. If an invoked skill turns out to be wrong for the situation, you don't need to use it.
41
-
42
- ```dot
43
- digraph skill_flow {

71
-
72
- ## Red Flags
73
-
74
- These thoughts mean STOP—you're rationalizing:
75
-
76
- | Thought | Reality |
77
- |---------|---------|
78
- | "This is just a simple question" | Questions are tasks. Check for skills. |
79
- | "I need more context first" | Skill check comes BEFORE clarifying questions. |
80
- | "Let me explore the codebase first" | Skills tell you HOW to explore. Check first. |
81
- | "I can check git/files quickly" | Files lack conversation context. Check for skills. |
82
- | "Let me gather information first" | Skills tell you HOW to gather information. |
83
- | "This doesn't need a formal skill" | If a skill exists, use it. |
84
- | "I remember this skill" | Skills evolve. Read current version. |
85
- | "This doesn't count as a task" | Action = task. Check for skills. |
86
- | "The skill is overkill" | Simple things become complex. Use it. |
87
- | "I'll just do this one thing first" | Check BEFORE doing anything. |
88
- | "This feels productive" | Undisciplined action wastes time. Skills prevent this. |
89
- | "I know what that means" | Knowing the concept ≠ using the skill. Invoke it. |
90
-
91
- ## Skill Priority
92
-
93
- When multiple skills could apply, use this order:
94
-
95
- 1. **Process skills first** (brainstorming, debugging) - these determine HOW to approach the task
96
- 2. **Implementation skills second** (frontend-design, mcp-builder) - these guide execution
97
-
98
- "Let's build X" → brainstorming first, then implementation skills.
99
- "Fix this bug" → debugging first, then domain-specific skills.

10
+ <EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT>
11
+ If you think there is even a 1% chance a skill might apply to what you are doing, you ABSOLUTELY MUST invoke the skill.
12
+
13
+ IF A SKILL APPLIES TO YOUR TASK, YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. YOU MUST USE IT.
14
+
15
+ This is not negotiable. This is not optional. You cannot rationalize your way out of this.

+
18
+ ## Instruction Priority
19
+
20
+ Superpowers skills override default system prompt behavior, but **user instructions always take precedence**:
21
+
22
+ 1. **User's explicit instructions** (AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md, direct requests) — highest priority
23
+ 2. **Superpowers skills** — override default system behavior where they conflict
24
+ 3. **Default system prompt** — lowest priority
25
+
26
+ If AGENTS.md or GEMINI.md says "don't use TDD" and a skill says "always use TDD," follow the user's instructions. The user is in control.
27
+
28
+ ## How to Access Skills
29
+
30
+ **In OpenCode:** Use the `skill` tool. Skills are loaded from `.opencode/skills/`, `assets/skills/`, and installed plugins. When you invoke a skill, its content is loaded and presented to you—follow it directly. Never use the Read tool on skill files.
31
+
32
+ **In Copilot CLI:** Use the `skill` tool. Skills are auto-discovered from installed plugins.
33
+
34
+ **In Gemini CLI:** Skills activate via the `activate_skill` tool. Gemini loads skill metadata at session start and activates the full content on demand.

+ # Using Skills
37
+
38
+ ## The Rule
39
+
40
+ **Invoke relevant or requested skills BEFORE any response or action.** Even a 1% chance a skill might apply means that you should invoke the skill to check. If an invoked skill turns out to be wrong for the situation, you don't need to use it.
41
+
42
+ ```dot
43
+ digraph skill_flow {
44
+ "User message received" [shape=doublecircle];
45
+ "About to EnterPlanMode?" [shape=doublecircle];
46
+ "Already thought through?" [shape=diamond];
47
+ "Invoke brainstorming skill" [shape=box];
48
+ "Might any skill apply?" [shape=diamond];
49
+ "Invoke skill tool" [shape=box];
50
+ "Announce: 'Using [skill] to [purpose]'" [shape=box];
51
+ "Has checklist?" [shape=diamond];
52
+ "Create todowrite todo per item" [shape=box];
53
+ "Follow skill exactly" [shape=box];
54
+ "Respond (including clarifications)" [shape=doublecircle];
55
+
56
+ "About to EnterPlanMode?" -> "Already thought through?";
57
+ "Already thought through?" -> "Invoke brainstorming skill" [label="no"];
58
+ "Already thought through?" -> "Might any skill apply?" [label="yes"];
59
+ "Invoke brainstorming skill" -> "Might any skill apply?";
60
+
61
+ "User message received" -> "Might any skill apply?";
62
+ "Might any skill apply?" -> "Invoke skill tool" [label="yes, even 1%"];
63
+ "Might any skill apply?" -> "Respond (including clarifications)" [label="definitely not"];
64
+ "Invoke skill tool" -> "Announce: 'Using [skill] to [purpose]'";
65
+ "Announce: 'Using [skill] to [purpose]'" -> "Has checklist?";
66
+ "Has checklist?" -> "Create todowrite todo per item" [label="yes"];
67
+ "Has checklist?" -> "Follow skill exactly" [label="no"];
68
+ "Create todowrite todo per item" -> "Follow skill exactly";
69
+ }
70
+ ```
71
+
72
+ ## Red Flags
73
+
74
+ These thoughts mean STOP—you're rationalizing:
75
+
76
+ | Thought | Reality |
77
+ |---------|---------|
78
+ | "This is just a simple question" | Questions are tasks. Check for skills. |
79
+ | "I need more context first" | Skill check comes BEFORE clarifying questions. |
80
+ | "Let me explore the codebase first" | Skills tell you HOW to explore. Check first. |
81
+ | "I can check git/files quickly" | Files lack conversation context. Check for skills. |
82
+ | "Let me gather information first" | Skills tell you HOW to gather information. |
83
+ | "This doesn't need a formal skill" | If a skill exists, use it. |
84
+ | "I remember this skill" | Skills evolve. Read current version. |
85
+ | "This doesn't count as a task" | Action = task. Check for skills. |
86
+ | "The skill is overkill" | Simple things become complex. Use it. |
87
+ | "I'll just do this one thing first" | Check BEFORE doing anything. |
88
+ | "This feels productive" | Undisciplined action wastes time. Skills prevent this. |
89
+ | "I know what that means" | Knowing the concept ≠ using the skill. Invoke it. |
90
+
91
+ ## Skill Priority
92
+
93
+ When multiple skills could apply, use this order:
94
+
95
+ 1. **Process skills first** (brainstorming, debugging) - these determine HOW to approach the task
96
+ 2. **Implementation skills second** (frontend-design, mcp-builder) - these guide execution
97
+
98
+ "Let's build X" → brainstorming first, then implementation skills.
99
+ "Fix this bug" → debugging first, then domain-specific skills.

+
101
+ ## Skill Types
102
+
103
+ **Rigid** (TDD, debugging): Follow exactly. Don't adapt away discipline.
104
+
105
+ **Flexible** (patterns): Adapt principles to context.
106
+
107
+ The skill itself tells you which.
