Does this skill help with merge conflicts?

Yes, by isolating different features into distinct worktrees, it reduces the risk of accidental cross-contamination and makes it easier to manage complex merge scenarios.

Can I use this for PR reviews?

Absolutely. It is an ideal tool for checking out a teammate's pull request into a separate environment to run and test it without affecting your own work-in-progress.

What is the main benefit of using Git worktrees with Claude?

It allows Claude to help you manage multiple branches simultaneously in separate folders, eliminating the need to stash or commit unfinished work just to switch tasks.

When should I remove a worktree?

You should remove a worktree as soon as the specific task or feature has been merged or abandoned to prevent stale branches and repository clutter.

How does the confidence assessment work?

The skill evaluates the state of your worktrees based on naming clarity and organization, scoring your setup from 0.0 to 1.0 to ensure you don't lose track of active work.
