CW-Worktree Parallel Developer FAQs

Question 1

How are Claude Code task lists isolated between features?

Accepted Answer

The skill automatically creates a .claude/settings.local.json file in each worktree with a unique CLAUDE_CODE_TASK_LIST_ID, ensuring each feature has its own persistent task board.

Question 2

Where are the worktree files stored?

Accepted Answer

All worktrees are stored in a dedicated .worktrees/ directory at your project root. The skill automatically ensures this directory is added to your .gitignore to prevent accidental commits.

Question 3

Does CW-Worktree handle project dependencies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it automatically detects project types like Node.js, Rust, Python, and Go, and runs the appropriate installation commands (npm install, cargo build, etc.) whenever a new worktree is created.

Question 4

Can I merge my worktree changes back to the main branch?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the skill includes logic to verify clean git status, run baseline tests, and handle the merging of completed features back to your main branch before cleaning up the worktree.

Question 5

How does CW-Worktree simplify parallel development?

Accepted Answer

It allows you to have multiple branches checked out at once in separate directories, meaning you can switch between tasks instantly without stashing, committing unfinished work, or re-building dependencies.
