# Using Git Worktrees
## Overview
Create isolated workspaces sharing the same repository. Systematic directory selection + safety verification.
**Core principle:** Isolated workspace before implementation.
## Process
1. Check existing directories (.worktrees/ or worktrees/)
2. Verify directory is gitignored
3. Create worktree with new branch
4. Run project setup (auto-detect npm/cargo/pip/go)
5. Verify clean test baseline
6. Report ready
## Safety
- Always verify worktree directory is gitignored
- Always run baseline tests
- Report failures before proceeding
## Agents Used
- Process agents referenced in `superpowers-workflow.js`
## Tool Use
Referenced by `executing-plans` and `subagent-driven-development` processes.
