steps to follow

Step 1 Get required information

1. Figure out what task you're working on

1a. if you have a ticket number, but no task directory in .humanlayer/tasks/, find the task dir and refetch the ticket file:

Bash(ls .humanlayer/tasks | grep eng-XXXX)

2. once you have a task dir, fetch the ticket file

Bash(linear get-issue eng-XXXX > .humanlayer/tasks/eng-XXXX-description/ticket.md)

3. then read it

Read(.humanlayer/tasks/eng-XXXX-description/ticket.md)

Step 2 create worktree for implementation

check for a create_worktree.sh script:

Bash(ls scripts/create_worktree.sh)

if it is present, use the script:

You will need to know:

1. BRANCHNAME - the branch name (from the ticket)

Bash(./scripts/create_worktree.sh BRANCHNAME)

The script will handle all setup of .env, etc.

if there is no script, do step 2b instead:

Step 2b Set up worktree (if no script)

If no script was found use the collected info to create a worktree.

You will need to know:

1. BRANCHNAME - the branch name (from the ticket)
2. DIRNAME - the directory name for the worktree - this is the branch name without the leading username/, e.g. fred/eng-1234-fix-ui -> eng-1234-fix-ui
3. REPONAME - the current directory name
4. WORKTREES_BASE - the worktree base directory. Get this from config:

   Bash(rpi config --get worktree_base_path)
   

   If not set, use ~/wt as default
5. SETUP_COMMAND - the command to use to set up the repo - (e.g. npm install, bun run setup, etc)

Ask the user if you are missing any of this information, and have them confirm it before proceeding.

<example_confirmation> I'm ready to create a worktree: BRANCHNAME: ... DIRNAME: ... REPONAME: ... WORKTREES_BASE: ... SETUP_COMMAND: UKNOWN

If you need any setup like npm install let me know and I can include it.

Then I will create worktree at [WORKTREES_BASE/REPONAME/DIRNAME] with

git worktree add -b [BRANCHNAME] [WORKTREES_BASE/REPONAME/DIRNAME]
cp .env* WORKTREE_PATH/ 2>/dev/null || true
cp .claude/settings.local.json WORKTREE_PATH/.claude/
cd WORKTREE_PATH && rpi init
[optional setup command here]

Let me know if you're ready or want to change anything. </example_confirmation>

Bash(git worktree add -b BRANCHNAME WORKTREES_BASE/REPONAME/DIRNAME)

e.g.

Bash(git worktree add -b fred/eng-1234-fix-ui ~/wt/webapp/eng-1234-fix-ui)

Then, copy the relevant files into the worktree

Bash(for f in .env*; do [ -f "$f" ] && cp "$f" WORKTREE_PATH/; done)
Bash(cp .claude/settings.local.json WORKTREE_PATH/.claude/)
Bash(cd WORKTREE_PATH && rpi init --directory REPONAME)
Bash(cd WORKTREE_PATH && make setup) # optional, might be npm install, or something else

Step 4 present next steps to the user

<output_example> Worktree for ENG-XXXX has been configured. You can start implementation by running

use the implement-plan skill for task .humanlayer/tasks/eng-xxxx-description

in the WORKTREE_PATH directory
