What it does
Part of the Superpowers methodology. Creates isolated git worktrees with smart directory selection and safety verification, so parallel work in progress never collides.
Install
Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/using-git-worktrees
cp -r superpowers/skills/using-git-worktrees/* ~/.claude/skills/using-git-worktrees/

This skill ships inside the Superpowers repo rather than as a single-skill package. The Superpowers plugin (installable via /plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official) bundles this skill and others together; the steps above install just this one skill using Claude Code's documented manual-skill path (~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md).
