Using Git Worktrees

Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - creates isolated git worktrees with smart directory selection and safety verification

Install only if you want agents to create and prepare git worktrees automatically. For untrusted or sensitive repositories, tell the agent to ask before editing .gitignore, creating commits, installing dependencies, building, or running tests.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: using-git-worktrees Version: 0.1.0 The skill is classified as suspicious due to its broad permissions and automatic execution of high-impact actions. Specifically, the agent is instructed to automatically modify the project's `.gitignore` file and commit the changes if a worktree directory is not ignored, which is a significant modification to the version control system. Additionally, the skill automatically executes dependency installation, build, and test commands (e.g., `npm install`, `pip install -r requirements.txt`, `cargo build`, `npm test`) based on detected project files. While these actions are plausibly needed for setting up a development environment, they involve executing arbitrary code from potentially untrusted project dependencies without explicit user confirmation for each step, posing a supply chain risk. These instructions are found in `SKILL.md`.
