worktree-task-plugin CLAUDE.md

Repository instructions for a Claude Code plugin that starts coding-agent sessions in separate Git worktrees—isolated copies of a repository—and manages them through tmux terminal sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when delegating work to Claude Code or Codex, checking a running task, recovering from rate limits or timeouts, or managing its plugin files and scripts.
Why use it?
They describe how large coding tasks are split among separate agent sessions and how those sessions are launched, monitored, resumed, and cleaned up.

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-task-plugin CLAUDE.md 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 2d 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.

Project Overview

A Claude Code plugin that enables spawning autonomous agent sessions in separate git worktrees via tmux. Manages large coding tasks that would otherwise overflow context by delegating phases to subagents.

Architecture

├── .claude-plugin/plugin.json    # Plugin manifest (name, version, repo)
├── skills/worktree-task/SKILL.md # Auto-trigger skill definition
├── commands/*.md                 # Slash command definitions (/worktree-task:*)
├── hooks/
│   ├── hooks.json                # Hook registrations (SessionStart, Stop, SessionEnd)
│   └── handlers/*.py             # Hook implementations
├── scripts/*.py                  # Core Python scripts for task management
└── references/*.md               # Prompt templates for spawned agents

Core Flow

  1. launch.py - Creates worktree + tmux session, launches agent (Claude Code or Codex), sends task prompt
  2. status.py - Captures tmux pane output, shows git info from worktree
  3. resume.py - Detects error type (rate_limit, api_error, timeout), sends recovery message
  4. cleanup.py - Kills tmux session, optionally removes worktree
  5. merge.py / rebase.py - Spawns Claude in tmux to auto-resolve git conflicts

Key Design Patterns

  • tmux as state: Sessions track running tasks, pane capture provides status
  • Worktrees for isolation: Each task gets its own working directory
  • Template substitution: $TASK_DESCRIPTION, $WORKTREE_DIR in references/*.md
  • Hook-based updates: on-session-start.py checks GitHub Releases API for updates (24h cache)

Common Commands

# Test a script directly
python3 scripts/launch.py feature/test "Test task description"
python3 scripts/status.py                    # List all sessions
python3 scripts/status.py <session-name>     # Detailed session status
python3 scripts/resume.py <session> --check  # Check without sending message
python3 scripts/cleanup.py <session> --remove-worktree

# Manual tmux operations
tmux list-sessions
tmux attach -t <session>
tmux kill-session -t <session>

# Git worktree operations
git worktree list
git worktree remove <path>

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.

worktree-task-plugin CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ourines/worktree-task-plugin (39 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 793 tokens to every session, about $0.0040 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.
