# Context Worktree Auto-separate unrelated work into git worktrees. ## When to Activate - Starting new feature while another is in progress - Switching to different issue/task - Requested work differs from current branch context ## Workflow ### Step 1: Evaluate Similarity Compare new request against current branch: - File paths involved - Feature/module overlap - Related issues/PRs **Similar**: Continue on current branch **Different**: Create new worktree ### Step 2: Create Worktree (if different) ```bash # Create worktree with new branch git worktree add ../project-feature feature/new-feature # Switch to worktree cd ../project-feature ``` ### Step 3: Work in Isolation - Changes in worktree don't affect main workspace - Can switch back anytime: `cd ../project-main` ## Commands ```bash # List worktrees git worktree list # Add worktree git worktree add <path> <branch> # Remove worktree git worktree remove <path> # Prune stale worktrees git worktree prune ``` ## Decision Matrix | Current Work | New Request | Action | |--------------|-------------|--------| | Feature A | Bug in Feature A | Continue | | Feature A | Feature B | New worktree | | Feature A | Hotfix | New worktree | | None | Any | Continue | ## Best Practices **DO:** - Use descriptive worktree paths: `../project-{feature}` - Clean up finished worktrees **DON'T:** - Create worktree for tiny tasks - Forget to push before removing worktree
