git-worktree

git-worktree is a skill for Claude Code from FlorianBruniaux/claude-code-plugins. It costs 15 tokens per session (2,008 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A Git workflow tool that creates separate working directories for feature branches, so you can work on them without switching branches in your main checkout.

In plain words
What is it for?
Create a worktree, install or reuse dependencies, and run type checks and tests in the background before development starts.
Why use it?
It keeps parallel feature work isolated and can reuse installed dependencies, reducing setup time and avoiding changes colliding in one directory.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is if [ -d "../../node_modules" ] && [ ! "$ISOLATED" = true ]; then.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 B, and why

git-worktree scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

Git Worktree Setup

Create isolated git worktrees for feature development without switching branches.

Core principle: Smart directory selection + symlink optimization + background verification = fast, reliable isolation.

Requires: Git 2.5.0+ (July 2015)

Companion commands: /git-worktree-status | /git-worktree-remove | /git-worktree-clean

Process

  1. Validate Branch Name: Check naming convention and conflicts
  2. Check Existing Directories: .worktrees/ or worktrees/
  3. Verify .gitignore: Ensure worktree dir is ignored
  4. Create Worktree: git worktree add
  5. Symlink Dependencies: Reuse node_modules/ from main worktree
  6. Detect Database Provider: Check for DB branching capability
  7. Install Dependencies: Auto-detect package manager (if not symlinking)
  8. Run Background Verification: Type check + tests in background
  9. Report Location: Confirm ready with status

Flags

Flag Effect
--fast Skip dependency install and baseline tests
--isolated Fresh node_modules install (no symlink)
--skip-install Skip dependency install, keep baseline tests

Branch Name Validation

# Auto-prefix based on naming convention
# "auth" → "feat/auth" (default prefix)
# "fix/login-bug" → kept as-is
# "refactor/db-layer" → kept as-is

# Accepted prefixes: feat/, fix/, refactor/, chore/, docs/, test/, perf/
# If no prefix → default to feat/

# Reject invalid characters
echo "$BRANCH_NAME" | grep -qE '^[a-zA-Z0-9/_-]+$' || exit 1

# Check branch doesn't already exist
git show-ref --verify --quiet "refs/heads/$BRANCH_NAME" && echo "Branch already exists" && exit 1

Directory Selection

Priority Order

# 1. Check existing directories
ls -d .worktrees 2>/dev/null     # Preferred (hidden)
ls -d worktrees 2>/dev/null      # Alternative

# 2. Check CLAUDE.md for preference
grep -i "worktree.*director" CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null

# 3. Ask user if neither exists

git-worktree is a skill published in the GitHub repository FlorianBruniaux/claude-code-plugins (42 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 2,008 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-04.
