An independent audit of the ADR-0020 retrofit (issue #99) found that git-submodules, git-worktrees, and gitea-files each collapsed their description length correctly during retrofit but left the capability clause as a verb enumeration (e.g. "Create, list, lock, move, remove, prune, or repair") instead of ADR-0020's required single clause. The deterministic char-count gate can't catch this — it's a qualitative rubric violation the retrofit commits' own messages never claimed to address, only measurable length/word-count fixes. Validated clean via skill-audit and skill-size-check after the fix; boundary clauses and routing targets left untouched. Refs #99
git-worktrees
Manage git worktrees to enable multi-branch parallel development across isolated directories.
What it does
This skill handles worktree operations within the git workflow suite. It creates, lists, locks/unlocks, moves, removes, prunes, and repairs worktrees — letting an agent work on multiple branches simultaneously without stashing. It returns structured results (paths, branches, lock status) suitable for agent composition. For multi-step flows spanning branch strategy plus worktree setup, git-workflow handles the broader orchestration and delegates the worktree mechanics here.
Usage
/git-worktrees
Describe your worktree task: create a worktree for a branch, list existing worktrees, lock one for removable media, move, remove, prune, or repair. The skill will handle the operation with appropriate safety checks and return results.
