symlink-worktree-ignored-files

symlink-worktree-ignored-files is a skill for Claude Code from jamesyang124/agent-skills. It costs 70 tokens per session (1,067 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

An interactive setup tool that shares ignored files between Git worktrees by creating symbolic links. A worktree is another working folder for the same Git repository, and ignored files commonly include local configuration such as .env files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating a worktree, especially when multiple worktrees need access to the same ignored files and directories.
Why use it?
It avoids copying or recreating local files when starting work in another worktree while letting you choose exactly where the links go.

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 C, and why

symlink-worktree-ignored-files scanned grade C 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/run_skill.sh, scripts/symlink.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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- **Cleanup**: When deleting a symlink, use `rm [symlink]` or `unlink [symlink]`. Do NOT use `rm -rf` as it might delete the source files.

Dependencies

No external skills or MCPs required. Requires git and ln to be available in the shell.


This skill utilizes the agent to interactively guide you through the process of symlinking git-ignored files and directories. The agent will first present a numbered list of your existing git worktrees, prompt you to choose the destination, and then symlink all ignored files and directories directly.

Description

This skill provides an agent-driven interactive approach to symlinking git-ignored files and directories. It takes your current worktree as the source. The agent will then list all available git worktrees as numbered options, allowing you to select the target destination by entering a number. Once the target is selected, the underlying script will perform the symlinking of all ignored files and directories individually.

Quick Start & Usage

To use this skill, navigate to your source worktree (the one with files to link FROM) and then run the skill without any arguments. The agent will then guide you through the selection process.

# 1. Navigate to your source branch (the one with files to link FROM)
cd /path/to/my-project

# 2. Run the skill
scripts/run_skill.sh

The agent will then display a numbered list of available worktrees and prompt you to choose one by entering its number.

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.
