Automates the management of Git worktrees and tmux windows to orchestrate parallel development tasks.
The Worktree Manager skill streamlines complex development workflows by automating the creation, orchestration, and cleanup of Git worktrees and tmux worker windows. It enables Claude to act as a coordinator that can spawn isolated worker environments, set essential session metadata (like worktree paths and bead IDs), and launch nested Claude instances for specialized sub-tasks. This is particularly useful for developers managing multiple feature branches simultaneously or building autonomous multi-agent systems that require isolated execution contexts without the overhead of manual context switching.
