Hydra Plugin Help

You are executing the /hydra:help command. Show the user available commands and explain the Git worktree concept.

What are Git Worktrees?

Git worktrees allow having multiple branches checked out simultaneously in different directories. Each worktree has:

• Its own working directory
• Its own index (staging area)
• Its own HEAD

This means: Parallel work on different features without git stash or branch switching.

Why for Claude Agents?

When multiple agents need to work in parallel, each needs its own directory. Otherwise:

• Git conflicts during simultaneous commits
• Overwriting changes
• Chaos in staging area

With worktrees, each agent gets its own isolated working directory.

Available Commands

Show currently available commands:

grep -A2 "^  [a-z]" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(dirname $(dirname $0))}/plugin.yaml" 2>/dev/null || echo "Could not read plugin.yaml"

Typical Workflow

1. /hydra:create feature-x       # Create worktree
2. /hydra:spawn feature-x "..."  # Agent works there
3. /hydra:watch                  # Live monitor agents
4. /hydra:status                 # Check git status
5. /hydra:merge feature-x        # Integrate changes
6. /hydra:cleanup                # Clean up

Parallel Workflow

1. /hydra:parallel feature-a:Task A | feature-b:Task B | feature-c:Task C
2. /hydra:watch                  # Monitor all agents live
3. /hydra:merge feature-a        # Merge when done
4. /hydra:cleanup                # Remove merged worktrees
