worktree-execution
Skill20 starsChanged 6 months agoMITView on GitHub
Creates, pins, and cleans isolated Git worktree pairs for comparison trials. Use only when a Rashomon prompt or skill evaluation needs paired execution environments or orphan recovery.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Worktree Execution Skill
Architecture
Two isolated worktrees enable parallel prompt execution.

Creation
Script: scripts/worktree-create.sh
# Default labels (original/optimized) for prompt eval
./scripts/worktree-create.sh [repo_root]
# Custom labels for skill eval
./scripts/worktree-create.sh [repo_root] baseline with-skill
./scripts/worktree-create.sh [repo_root] old-version new-version
# Pin every pair in an evaluation run to the same commit
./scripts/worktree-create.sh [repo_root] trial-a trial-b [base_sha]Output (stdout):
/tmp/worktree-rashomon-{label_a}-20260114-123456
/tmp/worktree-rashomon-{label_b}-20260114-123456Properties:
- Location:
${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ - Naming:
worktree-rashomon-{label}-{timestamp} - Branch: Detached HEAD at the pinned base commit
- Base commit: Caller-supplied SHA, resolved once per evaluation
- Active marker: Git worktree lock containing run ID, owner PID, start time, and lease expiry
- Labels default to
original/optimizedif not specified
Cleanup
Script: scripts/worktree-cleanup.sh
# Remove all rashomon worktrees
./scripts/worktree-cleanup.sh [repo_root]
# Remove specific worktrees
./scripts/worktree-cleanup.sh [repo_root] path1 path2
# Remove registered orphaned worktrees, including expired Rashomon locks
./scripts/worktree-cleanup.sh --orphans [repo_root]Cleanup Triggers:
- After successful report generation
- In finally block on any failure
- On timeout
- On startup (orphan detection)
Parallel Execution Principle
Key: To achieve true parallel execution, send both Agent invocations in a single message.
The calling command determines which agents to invoke and how to structure the Agent invocations. This skill provides only the worktree infrastructure.
Error Handling (Worktree Operations)
| Scenario | Behavior |
| Creation fails | Report git error, suggest checking repository state |
| Cleanup fails | Log warning, attempt orphan cleanup on next run |
| Unlocked orphan | Remove registered Rashomon worktree after 1 hour |
| Crashed locked run | Remove after owner disappearance plus orphan age, or after lease expiry |
| Active long run | Set RASHOMON_LEASE_SECONDS before creation so the lease covers the run |
Scripts Reference
worktree-create.sh
| Exit Code | Meaning |
| 0 | Success |
| 1 | Not a git repository |
| 2 | Creation failed |
worktree-cleanup.sh
| Exit Code | Meaning |
| 0 | Success (or nothing to clean) |
| 1 | Not a git repository |
| 2 | Cleanup partially failed |
Constraints
- No concurrent comparisons: One rashomon execution per repository
- Git required: A version supporting
git worktree lock - Disk space: Sufficient space for worktree copies
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
