Git Worktree Feature Initializer FAQs

Question 1

Where does this skill create the new project files?

Accepted Answer

The skill creates a sibling directory one level up from your current path, typically named '../compounder-{feature-name}', ensuring your main repository remains clean.

Question 2

What is the benefit of using git worktrees with Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

Git worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out simultaneously in different directories. This lets Claude work on a new feature in isolation without you having to stash your current progress or mess up your main working directory.

Question 3

Can I use this for existing branches?

Accepted Answer

This skill is primarily designed to initialize new feature branches ('feat/name') to ensure a clean, isolated starting point for the development workflow.

Question 4

How do I invoke the init skill?

Accepted Answer

You can use the skill tool directly with '/compounder:init "feature-name"' or call the provided shell script from the plugin's script directory for faster execution.

Question 5

Why does the skill require bash permissions?

Accepted Answer

The skill executes a bash script to handle git commands and directory creation. To automate this without prompts, you can add the script path to your .claude/settings.json permissions list.
