coordinate-worktrees-and-threads

coordinate-worktrees-and-threads is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gaelic-ghost/socket. It costs 44 tokens per session (379 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for assigning ownership during parallel Git work. A worktree is a separate working directory for a branch, while a thread is only a conversation or worker context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan parallel repository tasks, separate writers into worktrees, control merges and cleanup, and define who verifies the final integration.
Why use it?
It reduces conflicting edits and unsafe shared Git operations by making each worker's files, branch, permissions, validation, and handoff explicit.

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

coordinate-worktrees-and-threads 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 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.

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

Coordinate Worktrees And Threads

Establish repository ownership before a worker begins. A thread is not a worktree, and a branch is not permission to make shared Git mutations.

Launch Record

For every worker, record the worker/task identity, coordinator, repository and base commit, worktree path, branch, read/write scope, allowed Git operations, validation lane, output/merge target, final report route, and retention or cleanup decision.

Rules

  • Give parallel writers disjoint files or directories and separate worktrees.
  • When a Codex-managed worktree versus a plain Git worktree is itself a decision, hand that host-specific choice to repository-skills:codex-gui-worktree-workflow; retain this skill's host-neutral ownership record in either case.
  • Serialize Git operations that change shared repository state. A worker must not assume it owns tags, merges, release branches, deletion, or cleanup.
  • Serialize heavy build and test lanes unless the environment explicitly proves they are independent and safe.
  • Keep final integration, conflict resolution, release, branch accounting, and cleanup with the coordinator unless the user explicitly assigns them.
  • When a worker returns, report branch/worktree state, commits, validation, uncommitted changes, artifacts, and the recommended integration action.

Completion

The coordinator explicitly chooses whether to retain the worker thread or worktree for follow-up, merge/preserve its result, archive it, or remove it after branch accounting. Never delete a worktree or branch merely because a worker says it is done.

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.
