What Worktree does

Worktree creates or reuses an isolated AgentsMesh Git worktree from a verified base branch, preserves existing changes, and optionally starts the worktree-scoped development environment. Use when the user asks for a new worktree or isolated work for a feature, fix, investigation, or review.

Worktree is cataloged under DevOps on DirSkills. Worktree comes from a repository tagged agent-orchestration, agentsmesh, ai-agent, ai-agent-workforce-platform and ai-coding.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

AgentsMesh Worktree

Create worktrees next to the main checkout under AgentsMesh-Worktrees.

Workflow

Determine the requested branch name, base branch (default main), and whether the task actually needs a running development stack.
Inspect repository state and identify the base remote from the user's request, the base branch upstream, or its URL:
```
git status --short --branch
git remote -v
git worktree list
```
Preserve all existing changes. Do not stash, reset, commit, or clean the main checkout as a side effect of worktree creation.
Fetch the selected base:
```
git fetch <base-remote> <base-branch>
```

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
