Where are the worktrees stored?

By default, worktrees are created in a base directory outside of your main repository path to keep your primary workspace clean and organized.

Does this skill delete protected branches?

No, the skill includes built-in safeguards that prevent the deletion of protected branches such as main, master, or develop, even during cleanup or abandonment operations.

Is worktree tracking mandatory?

No, while the skill provides an automated tracking document feature to help manage multiple worktrees, it includes a toggle to disable tracking for repositories that don't require it.

Can this skill handle merge conflicts?

Yes, when updating a worktree, the skill detects merge conflicts and returns control to the main agent to coordinate resolution with the user.
