linear-worktree
Creates a git worktree from main for a Linear issue. Use when the user pastes a Linear URL (https://linear.app/.../issue/ABC-58/...), a Linear "copy as prompt" string, or just an issue ID like "ABC-58". Handles URL parsing, branch name derivation, and worktree creation as a sibling directory. Also use when asked to "make a worktree for ABC-58", "set up a branch for this issue", or "create a worktree".

linear-worktree
Creates a git worktree from main for a Linear issue as a sibling directory of the current repo.
Copy and track this checklist:
Worktree creation progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Resolve REPO_ROOT / REPO_NAME / REPOS_BASE
- [ ] Step 2: Parse input into ISSUE_ID and BRANCH
- [ ] Step 3: git fetch origin main
- [ ] Step 4: git worktree add at $REPOS_BASE/$REPO_NAME-$ISSUE_ID
- [ ] Step 5: Report worktree path, branch, and cd command with resolved paths
Setup
Resolve three variables:
- Inside a git repo (most common):
REPO_ROOT=git rev-parse --show-toplevel,REPO_NAME= its basename,REPOS_BASE= its parent directory. - Not inside a git repo but
config.jsonhasrepos_base: use that asREPOS_BASE. Ask the user which repo folder. - Neither: ask for the full repo path.
Inputs
The user provides one of:
- Linear URL:
https://linear.app/myteam/issue/ABC-58/add-dark-mode-toggle - Copy as prompt:
ABC-58 Add dark mode toggle to settings page - Issue ID only:
ABC-58
Parsing
All parsing produces two values: ISSUE_ID (lowercased) and BRANCH (id + slug).
From URL
- Extract issue ID from the path segment after
/issue/→ISSUE_ID=abc-58 - Last path segment becomes the slug →
BRANCH=abc-58-add-dark-mode-toggle
From copy as prompt
- First token is the issue ID →
ISSUE_ID=abc-58 - Slugify the rest: lowercase, spaces to
-, strip backticks/parentheses/.../quotes/#/@, collapse consecutive hyphens, trim leading/trailing hyphens BRANCH=abc-58-<slug>
Example: ABC-58 Add dark mode toggle (don't break "light" default)
→ abc-58-add-dark-mode-toggle-dont-break-light-default
From issue ID only
Lowercase the ID → ISSUE_ID = abc-58. Slugify any description the user provides for the branch, otherwise BRANCH = abc-58.
Worktree Creation
git -C $REPO_ROOT fetch origin main
git -C $REPO_ROOT worktree add \
-b $BRANCH \
$REPOS_BASE/$REPO_NAME-$ISSUE_ID \
main
This creates a worktree at $REPOS_BASE/$REPO_NAME-$ISSUE_ID (e.g. /Users/you/Code/myrepo-abc-58) — a sibling of the main repo, not inside it.
After Creation
Tell the user the worktree path, branch name, and cd command using actual resolved paths:
Worktree: /Users/you/Code/myrepo-abc-58
Branch: abc-58-add-dark-mode-toggle
Run: cd /Users/you/Code/myrepo-abc-58
Edge Cases and Gotchas
- Branch exists but not checked out: drop
-b— usegit worktree add $REPOS_BASE/$REPO_NAME-$ISSUE_ID $BRANCH. - Branch checked out in another worktree: do not
--force. Rungit worktree listand tell the user tocdto the existing worktree. - Directory already exists: confirm with user before removing — may be a forgotten worktree.
- Always fetch first:
git fetch origin mainbeforegit worktree add, or the worktree gets a stale base. - Sibling, not child: worktree path is next to
$REPO_ROOT, never inside it. - "Create a branch" means worktree: use
git worktree add, notgit checkout -b. - Always end with
cd: the worktree is useless if the user stays in the original repo.
