Generate .worktreerc.yml

Generate .worktreerc.yml

Scan the current project and generate a .worktreerc.yml with sensible defaults for the wt-create skill.

Steps

1. Check for Existing Config

Look for .worktreerc.yml or .worktreerc.yaml in the repository root.

If one exists, read it, show it to the user, and ask if they want to overwrite or update it. Stop if they decline.

2. Scan Project for Patterns

Copy Candidates

Use Glob to detect files that are typically gitignored but needed for development:

• .env, .env.*
• .direnv
• .vscode/settings.json
• .idea/

For each candidate found, verify it is actually gitignored:

git check-ignore <file>

Only include files that are gitignored (exit code 0). Files tracked by git don't need to be copied.

Post-Create Hook Candidates

Use Glob to detect lock files and dev tooling:

File Found	Suggested Hook
uv.lock or pyproject.toml (with [tool.uv])	uv sync
package-lock.json	npm ci
yarn.lock	yarn install
pnpm-lock.yaml	pnpm install
Gemfile.lock	bundle install
.mise.toml or .tool-versions	mise install
.pre-commit-config.yaml	pre-commit install

3. Present Findings to User

Show what was detected and proposed. Use AskUserQuestion to let the user confirm or adjust:

• Which copy patterns to include
• Which post-create hooks to include

4. Write .worktreerc.yml

Generate the file with the confirmed settings.

Example output:

worktree:
  copy:
    - .env
    - .env.local

  post_create:
    - uv sync
    - pre-commit install

Omit copy or post_create sections entirely if they would be empty.
