+name: worktree
+description: Create and manage git worktrees for parallel development. Use when user asks to create a worktree, work in parallel on multiple branches, set up isolated development environments, or clean up stale worktrees. Triggers on phrases like "create worktree", "new worktree", "worktree for branch", "/worktree", "clean worktrees", "stale worktrees".
+---
+
+# Git Worktree Management
+
+Create worktrees in `<repo-parent>/worktrees/<repo-name>/<branch-name>`.
+
+`SKILL_DIR` = directory containing this SKILL.md
+
+## Creating a Worktree
+
+```bash
+"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/create-worktree.sh" <branch-name> [base-branch]
+```
+
+- Creates worktree for existing branch, or auto-creates from `origin/main` if branch doesn't exist
+- Runs `bin/worktree-init.sh` if present (see below)
+
+## Custom Initialization
+
+Create `bin/worktree-init.sh` in your repo to customize worktree setup:
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# bin/worktree-init.sh - runs in new worktree, $1 = source repo root
+SOURCE_REPO="$1"
+
+# Example: copy env files
+cp "$SOURCE_REPO/.env" ./.env
+
+# Example: install dependencies
+yarn install
+```
+
+The script runs inside the new worktree directory with `$1` set to the source repo root.
+
+## After Creating a Worktree
+
+Always check for stale worktrees and offer to clean them up:
+
+```bash
+"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/detect-stale-worktrees.sh"
+```
+
+If stale worktrees are found, ask user if they want to remove them. For each one they confirm:
+
+```bash
+"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/purge-worktree.sh" "<worktree-path>"
+```
+
+## Scripts
+
+### create-worktree.sh
+
+```bash
+"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/create-worktree.sh" feature/my-branch           # Existing or new branch from origin/main
+"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/create-worktree.sh" feature/new-feature develop # New branch from specific base
+```
+
+### detect-stale-worktrees.sh
+
+Finds worktrees whose branches no longer exist on remote (merged/deleted PRs).
+
+```bash
+"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/detect-stale-worktrees.sh"          # Human-readable output
+"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/detect-stale-worktrees.sh" --quiet  # Just paths (for scripting)
+```
+
+Exit code 0 = stale worktrees found, 1 = none found.
+
+### purge-worktree.sh
+
+Removes worktree and deletes local branch.
+
+```bash
+"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/purge-worktree.sh" "/path/to/worktree"
+"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/purge-worktree.sh" "/path/to/worktree" --keep-branch  # Keep local branch
+```
+
+## Other Commands
+
+```bash
+git worktree list   # List all worktrees
+git worktree prune  # Clean up stale worktree refs (different from stale branches)
+```
