Worktree Parallel

Create and manage a git worktree for parallel feature development, then open the new worktree in the editor (code/Cursor) for a second Codex session. Use when the user asks to work on another feature simultaneously, spin up a parallel workspace, or open a new worktree even if they do not mention worktree explicitly.

Worktree Parallel

Workflow

  1. Confirm the repo root (use current working directory unless the user specifies another repo).
  2. Determine a feature slug and branch name.
    • Default branch pattern: feat/<slug>.
    • If the user already has a branch name, use it.
  3. Choose a base directory for linked worktrees.
    • Default for this repo: ../<project_name>-wt (create it if missing).
  4. Create the worktree.
    • New branch: git worktree add -b feat/<slug> <base>/<slug>
    • Existing branch: git worktree add <base>/<slug> <branch>
  5. Open the worktree in the editor.
    • Use code -n <path> (Cursor supports the code CLI).
    • If code is unavailable, ask for the preferred editor command (e.g., cursor -n, code, or another).
  6. Suggest a parallel Codex session in the new worktree.
    • cd <path> && codex
  7. Confirm with git worktree list if needed.

Safety

  • Do not use --force unless the user explicitly asks.
  • Do not remove existing worktrees unless the user requests cleanup.

Optional Cleanup (only if asked)

  • git worktree remove <path>
  • git branch -d <branch>
