File contents

worktree-tab

scripts/da-bootstrap.mjs ends with a READY block (worktree=..., branch=..., task_file=..., title=...). Parse those, then open a new terminal tab in the worktree running a fresh Claude session:

claude --model <model> --permission-mode acceptEdits --add-dir . -- "Read <task_file> and follow the instructions"

<model> is the implementation model for the dispatched session: a strong coding model chosen to fit the task, scaled down for mechanical or low-risk changes. It need not be the top research-tier model used for planning and spec writing. Pick from the aliases claude --help lists, following the model-selection guidance in CLAUDE.md.

How you open the tab depends on the terminal you're in ($TERM_PROGRAM). Substitute <model>, <worktree>, <task_file>, <title>, and the task id (DA-XXX) from the READY block throughout.

Warp

Write a tab config, then open it by deeplink. Tab configs live in ~/.local/share/warp-terminal/tab_configs/ (Linux), ~/.warp/tab_configs/ (macOS), or %APPDATA%\warp\Warp\data\tab_configs\ (Windows). Write DA-XXX.toml with two side-by-side panes both in the worktree, claude on the left and a free terminal on the right:

name = "<title>"
title = "<title>"

[[panes]]
id = "root"
split = "horizontal"
children = ["left", "right"]

[[panes]]
id = "left"
type = "terminal"
directory = "<worktree>"
commands = ['claude --model <model> --permission-mode acceptEdits --add-dir . -- "Read <task_file> and follow the instructions"']
is_focused = true

[[panes]]
id = "right"
type = "terminal"
directory = "<worktree>"

Then fire warp://tab_config/DA-XXX. On macOS use open '<uri>'; on Windows use start <uri>. On Linux the Warp launcher drops the deeplink, so hand it to the app over D-Bus:

gdbus call --session --dest dev.warp.Warp --object-path /dev/warp/Warp \
  --method org.freedesktop.Application.Open "['warp://tab_config/DA-XXX']" "{}"

Windows Terminal (no Warp)

wt new-tab --title '<title>' -d '<worktree>' -- powershell -NoExit -Command "claude --model <model> --permission-mode acceptEdits --add-dir . -- 'Read <task_file> and follow the instructions'"

Other terminals

Open a tab in <worktree> and run the claude ... line yourself.
