help

A help command for the worktree-task plugin, which runs coding jobs in isolated Git worktrees and background sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to learn how to launch, check, resume, merge, rebase, and clean up background tasks.
Why use it?
It gives you the available commands and a basic workflow without needing to inspect the plugin files.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

help scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Worktree Task Plugin Help

A plugin for managing large coding tasks using git worktrees and background Claude Code sessions.

Commands

Command Description
/worktree-task:launch <task> Launch a new background task in a separate worktree
/worktree-task:status [name] Check status of all or specific task
/worktree-task:resume <name> Resume an interrupted task
/worktree-task:cleanup <name> Clean up completed task and worktree
/worktree-task:merge <branch> Merge a feature branch into current branch
/worktree-task:rebase <branch> Rebase current branch onto a feature branch
/worktree-task:help Show this help message

Quick Start

# 1. Launch a complex task in the background
/worktree-task:launch "Implement user authentication with OAuth2"

# 2. Check progress
/worktree-task:status

# 3. When done, merge the changes
/worktree-task:merge feature-auth

# 4. Clean up
/worktree-task:cleanup feature-auth

How It Works

  1. Launch creates a git worktree (isolated copy of your repo) and spawns a Claude Code instance in a tmux session
  2. Monitor via /worktree-task:status to see progress, logs, and completion state
  3. Resume if task gets interrupted (rate limits, API errors, network issues)
  4. Merge/Rebase with automatic conflict resolution powered by Claude
  5. Cleanup removes the tmux session and worktree when done

Best Practices

  • Use for tasks that take 10+ minutes or require extensive changes
  • Keep task descriptions clear and specific
  • Check status periodically to monitor progress
  • Use --keep-worktree with cleanup if you want to review changes first

File Locations

  • Worktrees: Created in parent directory of your repo (e.g., ../worktree-task-<name>)
  • Task prompts: /tmp/claude_task_prompt.txt (temporary)
  • Monitor logs: <plugin-dir>/.monitor_cron.log

Requirements

  • macOS (for notifications)
  • tmux
  • git
  • Python 3.8+

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

help is a command published in the GitHub repository ourines/worktree-task-plugin (39 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 7 tokens to every session and 545 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
