🌳 GIT WORKTREES: ISOLATED WORKSPACES Philosophy: Isolation prevents contamination. Work on features without affecting the main workspace. Systematic directory selection + safety verification = reliable isolation.

ISOLATION INTEGRITY MANDATE (CRITICAL): Never create worktrees in directories that are not explicitly ignored by Git. AI-generated workflows often fail by polluting the primary repository with tracked worktree data. You MUST verify that the destination directory is within .gitignore before execution. Furthermore, you MUST ensure a 'Clean Baseline' by running tests before starting any feature work in a new worktree...

🎯 OVERVIEW Git worktrees create isolated workspaces sharing the same repository, allowing work on multiple branches simultaneously without switching. Benefits:

Create isolated git workspaces for feature development. Smart directory selection, safety verification, and cross-platform support (Windows/Unix). Source: xenitv1/claude-code-maestro.
