skills/parallel-worktrees/SKILL.md
Create and manage git worktrees for parallel coding sessions with zero dead time. Use when blocked on tests, builds, wanting to work on multiple branches, context switching, or exploring multiple approaches simultaneously.
npx skillsauth add rohitg00/pro-workflow parallel-worktreesInstall this skill globally with one command. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.
3 of 9 scanners reported clean
Some scanners were skipped, did not run, or reported a non-clean status. Review each row below.
Zero dead time. While one session runs tests, work on something else.
Use when waiting on tests, long builds, exploring approaches, or needing to review and develop simultaneously.
Claude Code:
claude --worktree # or claude -w (auto-creates isolated worktree)
Cursor / Any editor:
git worktree add ../project-feat feature-branch
# Open the new worktree folder in a second editor window
Both approaches create an isolated working copy where changes don't interfere with your main session.
These features are Claude Code-specific (skip if using Cursor):

git worktree add ../project-feat feature-branch
git worktree add ../project-fix bugfix-branch
git worktree add ../project-exp -b experiment
git worktree remove ../project-feat
git worktree prune
Terminal 1: ~/project → Main work
Terminal 2: ~/project-feat → Feature development
Terminal 3: ~/project-fix → Bug fixes
Each worktree runs its own AI session independently.
| Scenario | Action | |----------|--------| | Tests running (2+ min) | Start new feature in worktree | | Long build | Debug issue in parallel | | Exploring approaches | Compare 2-3 simultaneously | | Review + new work | Reviewer in one, dev in other | | Waiting on CI | Start next task in worktree |
git -C ../project-feat statusgit worktree prune).documentation
Apply clear-writing standards to any prose the agent produces - READMEs, docs, UI copy, error messages, commit and PR text, release notes. Use when writing or editing documentation, interface copy, or any text a human will read. Says "write the README", "improve this copy", "draft the docs", "word this error".
development
Drive a change through a red-green-refactor loop - failing test first, minimal code to pass, then clean up. Use when implementing a feature or fixing a bug where correctness matters and a test can pin the behavior. Says "TDD", "test first", "red green refactor", "write the test first".
tools
The index of every pro-workflow skill and command, grouped by job, with when to reach for each and whether it is human-run or auto-triggered. Use when you are not sure which skill fits, want the full map, or ask "what can this do", "which skill for X", "list the workflow".
development
Audit an area of the codebase and propose the smallest structural moves that improve it - untangle boundaries, kill duplication, fix seams, break cycles. Produces a prioritized plan and decision records, not a rewrite. Use when a codebase feels tangled, hard to change, or is becoming a ball of mud, or when asked to improve or refactor architecture.
