Git worktree management for isolated feature development. Create worktrees, verify test baselines, clean up after merge. Auto-invoked when worktree operations are needed.

Name: Git Worktrees

Why worktrees

Isolation: Feature work never contaminates main branch
Parallel development: Multiple features in progress simultaneously
Clean rollback: Discard worktree and branch if feature fails
Baseline verification: Confirm existing tests pass before starting

Creating a worktree

git branch feature/<name>
git worktree add ../<name>-worktree feature/<name>
cd ../<name>-worktree
Install dependencies (npm install, pip install, etc.)
Run full test suite — ALL tests must pass
If tests fail: STOP. Do not start work on a broken baseline.

Finishing a worktree

After merge or discard:

git worktree remove ../<name>-worktree
git branch -d feature/<name> (if merged)
git branch -D feature/<name> (if discarded)
