Production workflow for parallel branch development with isolated ports, env sync, and cleanup safety checks. This skill packages practical CLI tooling and operating guidance for multi-worktree teams.

Quick Start

# Create + prepare a worktree
python scripts/worktree_manager.py \
  --repo . \
  --branch feature/api-hardening \
  --name wt-api-hardening \
  --base-branch main \
  --install-deps \
  --format text

# Review stale worktrees
python scripts/worktree_cleanup.py --repo . --stale-days 14 --format text

Included Tools

scripts/worktree_manager.py: create/list-prep workflow, deterministic ports, .env* sync, optional dependency install
scripts/worktree_cleanup.py: stale/dirty/merged analysis with optional safe removal

Both support --input <json-file> and stdin JSON for automation.
