Editor's note
Worktrunk is a Rust-based CLI tool that simplifies Git worktree management specifically for running multiple AI agents, such as Claude Code and Codex, in parallel without file conflicts. Its three core commands replace verbose Git syntax: `wt switch feat` replaces a multi-step `git worktree add` and `cd` sequence, `wt switch -c -x claude feat` creates a new worktree and launches Claude in one step, and `wt remove` handles teardown including branch deletion. Beyond the basics, it offers lifecycle hooks for automating local workflows, a `wt merge` command that squashes, rebases, and cleans up in a single step, an interactive picker with live diff and log previews, and a cache-copying feature that transfers `target/` or `node_modules/` directories between worktrees to avoid cold build starts. A standout addition is `wt list --full`, which surfaces CI status and LLM-generated summaries of each open worktree. Developers running five to ten concurrent agent sessions on the same repository are the primary audience.

Worktrunk release workflow. Use when user asks to "do a release", "release a new version", "cut a release", or wants to publish a new version to crates.io and GitHub.
Worktrunk-specific guidance for tend CI workflows. Adds codecov polling, Rust test commands, labels, and review criteria on top of the generic tend-* skills. Use when operating in CI.
Guidance for Worktrunk (the `wt` CLI) — git worktree management, hooks, and config. Load when working out which worktree a `wt` command will act on, or reaching for the global `-C <path>` to target one; editing .config/wt.toml or ~/.config/worktrunk/config.toml; adding, modifying, or debugging hooks (post-merge, post-start, pre-commit, pre-merge, post-switch, etc.); configuring commit message generation or command aliases; or troubleshooting wt behavior. Also answers general worktrunk/wt questions.
CLI output formatting standards for worktrunk. Load before editing any code that calls warning_message, hint_message, error_message, info_message, eprintln, or println, or that produces strings the user will see (CLI help, progress UI, snapshot text). Documents ANSI color nesting rules, message patterns, and output system architecture.
Create a new worktrunk worktree (optionally in another repo) and switch this session's working directory into it. Use when launching a session that should work in its own worktree.
