A workflow for managing Git worktrees, which are separate working directories linked to one repository.

Use it to create branches and worktrees for parallel work, then clean them up after merging.

It lets multiple changes be developed in isolation without constantly switching the main working directory.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 26 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.

When invoked 2,693 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan C 1 finding. Scan, not verified.

Origin unknown No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00026	$0.02693
Opus 5	$0.00013	$0.01347
Sonnet 5	$0.00005	$0.00539
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00269

Security

Grade C, and why

worktree 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 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

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

| **Orphan** | Directory in `.worktrees/` not in `git worktree list` (broken git metadata) | `rm -rf <path>` (git doesn't know about it) |

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.
