worker
Spawn a Claude worker in an isolated git worktree for parallel development. Use when you need to work on a task in isolation without affecting current work.
What this skill does
# Worker Skill
Spawn a Claude worker in an isolated git worktree.
## Usage
```
/worker <branch-name> <task description>
```
## Examples
```
/worker feat/add-logging Add structured logging to the supervisor module
/worker fix/auth-bug Fix the authentication bypass in the API
/worker refactor/cleanup Refactor the instance manager for clarity
```
## Instructions
When the user invokes `/worker`, follow these steps:
### 1. Parse Arguments
Extract the branch name (first argument) and task description (remaining text).
### 2. Create Worktree
```bash
# Get project name for worktree prefix
PROJECT=$(basename $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel))
WORKTREE_PATH="../${PROJECT}-$(echo $BRANCH | tr '/' '-')"
# Create the worktree with a new branch
git worktree add "$WORKTREE_PATH" -b "$BRANCH"
```
### 3. Spawn Worker Claude
Run a Claude instance in the worktree with full autonomy:
```bash
cd "$WORKTREE_PATH" && claude --print --dangerously-skip-permissions "$TASK_DESCRIPTION"
```
### 4. Push and Create PR
After the worker completes successfully and has made commits:
```bash
# Push the branch to origin
git push -u origin "$BRANCH"
# Create PR with auto-generated summary
gh pr create --title "<commit message or task summary>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
<brief description of changes>
## Changes
<list of key changes made>
---
🤖 Generated by Claude worker
EOF
)"
# Enable auto-merge (will merge automatically when CI passes)
gh pr merge --auto --squash
```
### 5. Report Results
After the worker completes:
1. Show the worker's output
2. Show any commits made: `git log $BRANCH --oneline -5`
3. Show the PR URL if created
4. Offer next steps:
- Review the PR
- Continue working (spawn another worker command)
- Clean up the worktree
## Important Notes
- Workers have full autonomy (`--dangerously-skip-permissions`)
- Each worker gets its own branch - no conflicts with main work
- Workers push their branch and create PRs when done
- Use `git worktree list` to see active workers
- Use `git worktree remove <path>` to clean up

gitea-workflow
IncludedOrchestrate agile development workflows for Gitea repositories using the tea CLI. Use when working with Gitea-hosted repos and asking to 'run the workflow', 'continue working', 'what's next', 'complete the task cycle', 'start my day', 'end the sprint', 'implement the next task', or wanting guided step-by-step development assistance.

microsoft-graph-gateway
IncludedRoute Microsoft Graph work in this workspace. Use when users want to read or write Outlook mail, calendar events, contacts, OneDrive or SharePoint files, Teams, Planner, To Do, users, groups, directory data, or arbitrary Microsoft Graph endpoints from VS Code. Prefer WorkIQ for common read scenarios. Use Microsoft Graph for write actions and gap-read scenarios that need exact Graph properties, filters, permissions, or endpoints.

wordly-wisdom
IncludedProvides calibrated decision analysis using Charlie Munger-style multiple mental models, inversion, incentive mapping, circle-of-competence checks, misjudgment audits, second-order effects, and forecast updates. Use when the user asks for an oracle take, a hard call, a decision memo, a premortem, an outside view, a red-team, a sanity-check, what am I missing, think this through, or wants a strategy, hire, investment, plan, product, partnership, or major life choice analysed. Avoid for simple factual lookups or time-sensitive legal, medical, or market questions without fresh evidence.
swain-session
IncludedSession management and project status dashboard. Owns the full session lifecycle (start/work/close/resume), focus lane, bookmarks, worktree detection, and tab naming. Also serves as the project status dashboard — shows active epics, progress, actionable next steps, blocked items, tasks, GitHub issues, and recommendations. Worktree creation is deferred to swain-do task dispatch (SPEC-195). Triggers on: 'session', 'status', 'what's next', 'dashboard', 'overview', 'where are we', 'what should I work on', 'show me priorities', 'bookmark', 'focus on', 'session info'.
gandi
IncludedComprehensive Gandi domain registrar integration for domain and DNS management. Register and manage domains, create/update/delete DNS records (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, and more), configure email forwarding and aliases, check SSL certificate status, create DNS snapshots for safe rollback, bulk update zone files, and monitor domain expiration. Supports multi-domain management, zone file import/export, and automated DNS backups. Includes both read-only and destructive operations with safety controls.
