How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Worktree kit

Use the manager script for all worktree actions.

bash "${DROID_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}}/skills/flow-next-worktree-kit/scripts/worktree.sh" <command> [args]

Commands:

  • `create <name> [base]`
  • `list`
  • `switch <name>` (prints the worktree path; it cannot change your shell's directory - use `cd "$(... switch <name>)"`)
  • `cleanup [<name>...] [--yes]` (no args = interactive; names skip the prompt; `--yes` skips the confirmation, required off a terminal)
  • `copy-env <name>`

Safety notes:

  • `create` does not change the current branch
  • `create` sets no upstream on the new branch (`--no-track`) - under the upstream-based push modes (`simple`, `upstream`, `current`) a bare `git push` cannot aim at the base branch; under the default `push.default=simple` (without `push.autoSetupRemote`) the first push needs `git push -u origin <name>` (legacy `push.default=matching` pushes all name-matched branches regardless of upstream)
  • `cleanup` does not force-remove worktrees and does not delete branches
  • `cleanup` deletes the worktree directory (including ignored files); removal fails if the worktree is not clean
  • `.env*` is copied with no overwrite (symlinks skipped)
  • refuses to operate if `.worktrees/` or any worktree path component is a symlink
  • `copy-env` only targets registered worktrees
  • `origin` fetch is optional; local base refs are allowed
  • fetch from `origin` only when base looks like a branch
  • Worktrees live under `.worktrees/`
  • `create` initializes `.worktrees/.gitignore` (`*` plus `!.gitignore`) when

absent, so `git add -A` cannot stage nested worktrees as gitlinks; existing custom ignore files are preserved

**Shared claim state.** Parallel agents in sibling worktrees driving `flowctl` on the same repo share claim state via `.git/flow-state`. Set `FLOW_STATE_DIR` per agent (outside the tree) when running flow pipelines concurrently.
