Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Dev Worktree Set up or resume the correct workspace before feature work. Keep this skill focused on repository context, worktree isolation, and dependency bootstrap. Do not perform requirements, design, planning, implementation, testing, or review work here. ## Phase Contract 1. Propose the exact workspace plan before changing branch or worktree state. 2. Confirm the target branch/worktree with the user before switching contexts. 3. Use `feature-<name>` for branch and worktree names, where `<name>` is normalized kebab-case without the prefix. 4. Prefer a project-local worktree at `<project-root>/.worktrees/feature-<name>`. 5. Use no-worktree mode only when the user explicitly requests it. 6. Run all follow-up commands in the verified target context. ## Start Feature Workspace Use for a new feature start. 1. Normalize feature name to kebab-case `<name>`. 2. Determine the project root, the directory containing `.git`. 3. If the user explicitly requests no worktree: - Continue in the current repository and branch. - Call out that branch/workspace isolation is reduced. - Skip to dependency bootstrap. 4. Otherwise use branch/worktree name `feature-<name>`. 5. Ensure `.worktrees` is li

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add codeaholicguy/ai-devkit --skill dev-worktree --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From codeaholicguy/ai-devkit, a repository with 1,572 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
