## What wkt does, in the publisher's words

Teaches coding agents to give every piece of work its own git worktree, through wkt, so parallel work never trips over one checkout. Inside Herdr, the agent opens a worktree as its own Herdr workspace only when a separate workspace is wanted.

The worktrees skill has the agent start work with wkt new, rename a branch with wkt rename, set up a fresh clone with wkt setup and, when you ask, convert an existing clone with wkt adopt.

## Skills

- worktrees: Use when starting new work, renaming a branch, or setting up or converting a repository, each unit of work gets its own git worktree through the `wkt` CLI, opened as a Herdr workspace only when a separate workspace is wanted.
