parallel-worktrees

parallel-worktrees is a skill for Claude Code from TheBeardedBearSAS/claude-craft. It costs 26 tokens per session (273 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow guide for using separate Git worktrees so several coding-agent sessions can work on one repository at the same time. A worktree is another checked-out directory linked to the same Git repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create parallel feature branches, run writer and reviewer sessions, and clean up finished worktrees.
Why use it?
It keeps feature work and review work isolated, reducing conflicts between concurrent sessions.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: context: fork in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions Claude Code.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is git worktree add ../feature-name feature/branch-name.

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

parallel-worktrees 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.

What it actually says

Parallel Worktrees

Productivity pattern for running multiple Claude Code sessions on the same repository.

See ../../rules/12-context-management.md for detailed documentation.

Quick Reference

Setup

# Create worktree for a feature branch
git worktree add ../feature-name feature/branch-name

# Launch Claude in the worktree
cd ../feature-name && claude

Writer/Reviewer Pattern

Terminal Role Command
Terminal 1 Writer cd ../feature-auth && claude "Implement feature"
Terminal 2 Reviewer cd ../review-auth && claude "Review the code"

Best Practices

  • 3-5 worktrees maximum
  • One worktree = one task
  • Remove completed worktrees: git worktree remove ../feature-name
  • Never share sessions between worktrees

Cleanup

# List all worktrees
git worktree list

# Remove a worktree
git worktree remove ../feature-name

# Prune stale worktree entries
git worktree prune

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.
