What it does:
-
Creates worktrees from main branch with clear branch names
-
Copies
.env.localautomatically (Supabase/Cloudflare keys) -
Runs
pnpm installto make worktrees dev-ready -
Lists, switches between, and cleans up worktrees
When to use:
-
Code review (
/review): Isolated environment for reviewing PRs -
Feature work (
/work): Parallel work on multiple features -
Testing: Test a feature branch without switching
# Create a new worktree (copies .env.local, runs pnpm install)
bash .claude/skills/recollect-worktree/scripts/worktree-manager.sh create feature-name
# List all worktrees
bash .claude/skills/recollect-worktree/scripts/worktree-manager.sh list
# Switch to a worktree
bash .claude/skills/recollect-worktree/scripts/worktree-manager.sh switch feature-name
# Clean up inactive worktrees
bash .claude/skills/recollect-worktree/scripts/worktree-manager.sh cleanup
Creates new worktree with dependencies installed.
bash .claude/skills/recollect-worktree/scripts/worktree-manager.sh create feature-login
What happens:
-
Checks if worktree already exists
-
Updates base branch from remote
-
Creates new worktree and branch
-
Copies
.env.local -
Runs
pnpm install -
Shows path for cd-ing to worktree
list or ls
Lists all worktrees with their branches and status.
switch <name> or go <name>
Switches to an existing worktree.
cleanup or clean
Removes inactive worktrees with confirmation.
# Create worktree for PR review
bash .claude/skills/recollect-worktree/scripts/worktree-manager.sh create pr-664-lightbox
# Move to worktree and start dev
cd .worktrees/pr-664-lightbox
pnpm run dev
# After review, return and cleanup
cd ../..
bash .claude/skills/recollect-worktree/scripts/worktree-manager.sh cleanup
Parallel Development:
# Start first feature
bash .claude/skills/recollect-worktree/scripts/worktree-manager.sh create feature-a
# Start second feature
bash .claude/skills/recollect-worktree/scripts/worktree-manager.sh create feature-b
# Switch between them
bash .claude/skills/recollect-worktree/scripts/worktree-manager.sh switch feature-a
/work command:
- Ask: "How do you want to work?"
New branch on current worktree (live work)
-
Worktree (parallel work)
-
If worktree → call recollect-worktree skill
Opinionated Defaults:
-
Worktrees from
main(unless specified) -
Stored in
.worktrees/directory -
Branch name becomes worktree name
-
.env.localcopied automatically -
pnpm installruns automatically
Safety First:
-
Confirms before creating/removing
-
Won't remove current worktree
-
Clear error messages

How it works:
-
Uses
git worktree addfor isolated environments -
Each worktree has its own branch
-
Share git history with main repo
-
Lightweight (filesystem links, no duplication)
.worktrees/<name>/ directory exists
.env.local is present in worktree
node_modules/ exists (pnpm install completed)
pnpm run dev starts successfully
