worktree-task

A task manager that runs large coding jobs in separate Git worktrees, which are additional working folders connected to the same repository, and background terminal sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to launch, monitor, resume, and clean up autonomous coding tasks, with Claude Code, Codex CLI, or another specified command.
Why use it?
It lets a long or multi-step task run without blocking the coding session you are using.

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-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.

Worktree Task Manager

This skill manages large coding tasks by spawning autonomous agent instances (默认 Claude Code,可选 --codex/--agent-cmd) in separate git worktrees via tmux sessions.

When to Use

  • User wants to execute a large task (>20 subtasks) without blocking current session
  • User mentions "background", "parallel", "worktree", or "autonomous" execution
  • Task involves creating a new service, major refactoring, or implementing complex features
  • User wants to continue other work while a large task runs

Available Commands

Use these slash commands for precise control:

Command Description
/worktree:launch Launch a new background task
/worktree:status Check status of all or specific tasks
/worktree:resume Resume an interrupted task
/worktree:cleanup Clean up completed tasks

Core Workflow

1. Launch a Task

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/launch.py <branch-name> "<task-description>"

Example:

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/launch.py feature/my-task "Execute the task: implement new feature. Read the tasks.md and implement all phases."

The script will:

  1. Verify git status is clean (or prompt to commit/stash)
  2. Create a git worktree with the specified branch
  3. Create a tmux session
  4. Launch Claude Code by default (use --codex for default Codex command or --agent-cmd to switch, e.g., codex --yolo -m gpt-5.1-codex-max -c model_reasoning_effort="high")
  5. Send the task with instructions to use Task tool for each phase

2. Monitor Progress

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/status.py [session-name]

Without arguments, lists all active sessions. With a session name, shows detailed status.

3. Resume an Interrupted Task

If a task is interrupted (rate limit, API error, timeout):

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/resume.py <session-name> [message]

Options:

  • --retry - Retry the last failed task
  • --check - Only check status, don't send message

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-task is a skill published in the GitHub repository ourines/worktree-task-plugin (39 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 870 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
