agent-instructions: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/worktree-setup.md

worktree-setup is a command for Claude Code from wbern/agent-instructions. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,276 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository setup command for Git worktrees, which are multiple working folders connected to one Git repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Prepare a repository with a main worktree and optional extra copies for parallel trunk-based development. It also sets expectations for later worktree creation and cleanup.
Why use it?
It creates a consistent folder layout so several branches can be worked on at the same time without repeatedly switching the main folder.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions Claude Code.

This is wbern/agent-instructions's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agent-instructions itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agent-instructions configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is git worktree add "../main.$((N+1))" main.

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

worktree-setup 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 2mo ago.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

General Guidelines

Output Style

  • Never explicitly mention TDD in code, comments, commits, PRs, or issues
  • Write natural, descriptive code without meta-commentary about the development process
  • The code should speak for itself - TDD is the process, not the product

Beads is available for task tracking. Use mcp__beads__* tools to manage issues (the user interacts via bd commands).

Plan File Restriction

NEVER create, read, or update plan.md files. Claude Code's internal planning files are disabled for this project. Use other methods to track implementation progress (e.g., comments, todo lists, or external tools).

Worktree Layout Setup

Bootstrap the directory structure that /worktree-add and /worktree-cleanup expect. The layout this command produces:

<parent>/<repo-name>/main             # primary worktree on the default branch
<parent>/<repo-name>/<type>/<slug>    # feature worktrees added by /worktree-add
<parent>/<repo-name>/main.2           # optional: additional local copy of main
<parent>/<repo-name>/main.3           # (for parallel trunk-based work)

User arguments:

Worktree-setup: $ARGUMENTS

End of user arguments

Phase 0: Gas Town incompatibility check (HARD ABORT)

This command is intentionally incompatible with Gas Town. Gas Town manages its own rig/crew topology, and this layout would shadow it. Abort if any of the following is true:

Detection Condition
Gas Town home present ~/gt/ exists
Currently inside a Gas Town tree Working directory resolves under ~/gt/
Target parent resolves under ~/gt/ Resolved target path starts with ~/gt/
gt binary present AND target inside a tracked rig command -v gt succeeds and gt status --json lists target as a rig path

If any check fails, print:

Gas Town detected — this setup would conflict with gt's rig topology. Use gt rig add <repo-url> instead. Exiting without changes.

…and exit. Do not proceed under any flag.

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.
