git-worktree

A tool for Git worktrees, which let you check out multiple branches of one repository in separate folders at the same time. It also supports opening worktrees in an IDE and moving uncommitted or stashed changes between them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, list, open, remove, and clean up worktrees, or migrate working changes between them.
Why use it?
It helps you work on several branches without repeatedly switching the files in one checkout or manually moving unfinished changes.

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

git-worktree 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.

Claude Command: Git Worktree

Manage Git worktrees with smart defaults, IDE integration and content migration in structured ../.zcf/project-name/ paths.

Execute commands directly and provide concise results.


Usage

# Basic operations
/git-worktree add <path>                           # create new branch named <path> from main/master
/git-worktree add <path> -b <branch>               # create new branch with specified name
/git-worktree add <path> -o                        # create and open directly in IDE
/git-worktree list                                 # show all worktree status
/git-worktree remove <path>                        # remove specified worktree
/git-worktree prune                                # clean invalid worktree references

# Content migration
/git-worktree migrate <target> --from <source>     # migrate uncommitted content
/git-worktree migrate <target> --stash             # migrate stash content

Options

Option Description
add [<path>] Add new worktree in ../.zcf/project-name/<path>
migrate <target> Migrate content to specified worktree
list List all worktrees and their status
remove <path> Remove worktree at specified path
prune Clean invalid worktree references
-b <branch> Create new branch and checkout to worktree
-o, --open Open directly in IDE after creation (skip prompt)
--from <source> Specify migration source path (migrate only)
--stash Migrate current stash content (migrate only)
--track Set new branch to track corresponding remote branch
--guess-remote Auto guess remote branch for tracking
--detach Create detached HEAD worktree
--checkout Checkout immediately after creation (default behavior)
--lock Lock worktree after creation

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.
