Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - ensures an isolated workspace exists via native tools or git worktree fallback
Add to a SourceWeft workspace
- Open the skill in your dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- Enable it for the chats that should use it.
This skill is instructions only: it ships no scripts to execute.
Install the skill gh-obra-superpowers-using-git-worktreesYou will be asked to sign in first, then taken straight to this skill.
Install on your own machine — recommended
For Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other local agents. The SourceWeft CLI fetches the skill from its source repository at the commit scanned here, and verifies every file against the hashes recorded when the skill was scanned. If anything differs, nothing is written.
npx @sourceweft/cli skills install gh-obra-superpowers-using-git-worktreesAdd --agent claude-code, codex, cursor or universal to choose which agent gets it (Claude Code by default).
Upstream installer — not verified by SourceWeft
The open-source skills installer fetches the same pinned commit, but does not check the files against the hashes SourceWeft recorded.
