worktree

A Git worktree helper that creates separate working folders for branches and removes them when the work is finished. A Git worktree lets you work on another branch without changing your current folder.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start work in a dedicated worktree, choose its starting branch, fetch the latest remote state, or clean up a completed worktree.
Why use it?
It keeps feature or bug-fix work isolated and preserves Git’s safeguards when removing unfinished changes.

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 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/worktree.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Git Worktrees

Resolve this skill's directory, then invoke its bundled scripts/worktree.sh. Pass -C <repo> when the shell is not already inside the target repository.

Add

<skill-directory>/scripts/worktree.sh -C <repo> add <branch> [start-point]

The script:

  1. uses an existing local branch when present;
  2. creates a tracking branch when <remote>/<branch> exists;
  3. otherwise creates the branch from start-point, the remote default branch, or HEAD;
  4. prints the created worktree path.

Fetch the remote before adding when the worktree must start from its latest state:

git -C <repo> fetch origin
<skill-directory>/scripts/worktree.sh -C <repo> add feat/example origin/main

Worktrees default to <repo>__worktrees/<branch-with-slashes-as-dashes>. Set WORKTREE_ROOT to use another parent and WORKTREE_REMOTE to use a remote other than origin.

Remove

<skill-directory>/scripts/worktree.sh -C <repo> remove <branch-or-path>
<skill-directory>/scripts/worktree.sh -C <repo> remove --force <branch-or-path>

Normal removal preserves Git's dirty-worktree protection. Use --force only when discarding the worktree's uncommitted files is intended. Removal unregisters and deletes the worktree directory; it leaves the branch intact.

An add is complete when the script prints the new path and git -C <repo> worktree list contains it. A removal is complete when that path is absent.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

worktree is a skill published in the GitHub repository EntityProcess/allagents (11 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 392 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
