wt - Worktree Manager Skill

Manages isolated LlamaFarm development environments using git worktrees. Each worktree has its own services, ports, and data directories - enabling parallel agent sessions without conflicts.

Quick Reference

| Task | Command | |------|---------| | Create worktree and start services | `wt create feat/my-feature` | | Create and cd into worktree | `wt create --go feat/my-feature` | | List all worktrees with status | `wt list` | | Check service health | `wt status` or `wt health` | | Start/stop services | `wt start` / `wt stop` | | View service logs | `wt logs [server\|rag\|runtime\|designer\|all]` | | Delete worktree | `wt delete <name>` | | Switch to worktree | `wt switch <name>` | | Open Designer in browser | `wt open` | | Diagnose issues | `wt doctor` | | Clean orphaned data | `wt gc` |

When to Use wt

Use `wt` when:

  • Starting isolated work on a feature/task that needs running services
  • Running parallel coding sessions (multiple agents or terminals)
  • Testing changes without affecting the main development environment
  • Avoiding port conflicts between concurrent LlamaFarm instances

---

Common Workflows

Starting a New Task

# Create isolated environment with services running
wt create --go feat/my-task

# Work in the worktree...
# Services are already running on auto-assigned ports

# Check status anytime
wt status

# View logs if needed
wt logs server

Checking What's Running

# List all worktrees with their port assignments
wt list

# Example output:
# NAME              STATUS    SERVER   DESIGNER  RUNTIME
# feat-my-task      running   8150     5150      11150
# fix-bug           stopped   8234     5234      11234

Cleaning Up

# Stop services and remove a worktree
wt delete feat-my-task

# Remove data for worktrees that no longer exist
wt gc

# Remove worktrees for branches merged to main
wt prune

Troubleshooting

# Diagnose common issues (ports, stale PIDs, missing tools)
wt doctor

# Restart stuck services
wt stop && wt start

# Force delete if normal delete fails
wt delete my-worktree --force

---

Service URLs

Each worktree gets unique ports. Check URLs with:

wt url
# Outputs:
#   Server:   http://localhost:8150
#   Designer: http://localhost:5150
#   Runtime:  http://localhost:11150

If the Caddy proxy is running, use port-free URLs:

http://server.feat-my-task.localhost
http://designer.feat-my-task.localhost

Key Environment Details

  • **Worktrees location**: `~/worktrees/llamafarm/`
  • **Data directories**: `~/.llamafarm/worktrees/<name>/`
  • **Port allocation**: Deterministic hash of worktree name (14345+offset, 5000+offset, 11000+offset)
  • **Logs**: `~/.llamafarm/worktrees/<name>/logs/`

---

Notes for the Agent

1. **Always use `wt create --go`** when setting up a new task environment - it handles everything (branch, deps, build, services) 2. **Check `wt list` first** before creating a new worktree to see what already exists 3. **Use `wt status`** to verify services are healthy before running tests or making API calls 4. **Run `wt doctor`** when encountering unexplained service issues 5. **Clean up with `wt delete`** when a task is complete to free resources
