git-worktree-task

An autonomous task workflow that uses Git worktrees, separate working directories linked to the same repository. It covers starting from the remote main branch, checking changes, running tests, and judging review feedback.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for independent repository tasks that need a worktree, local validation, test checks, code review response, and a clean path toward merging.
Why use it?
It reduces branch contamination and catches setup or code problems before changes are pushed or merged.

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.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 8 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 878 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

git-worktree-task 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Git Worktree Task Workflow

Always base worktrees on origin/main, not local main. Local main may have unpushed commits from other work that will bleed into your branch.

Fix valuable feedback that identifies real issues. Mark as WONTFIX with clear reasoning if feedback is incorrect, not applicable, conflicts with project standards, or would break functionality.

You are smarter than the bots. Be discerning.

Local validation saves time. Don't push without running pre-push checks. Local tooling catches issues in seconds vs waiting for CI.

Bot feedback requires judgment. Bots provide suggestions, not mandates. Evaluate each piece based on your context and project standards.

Full test suite must pass after setup. Fix setup or code before pushing.

Successful autonomous task: original request completed, all automated checks pass, code follows all cursor rules, tests green, code review addressed, bot feedback evaluated intelligently, PR merges without human intervention requesting changes.

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.

git-worktree-task is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository TechNickAI/ai-coding-config (24 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 878 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.
