# git-worktree-manager (gw)

CLI tool integrating git worktree with AI coding assistants. Single binary, ~3ms startup.

## Natural Language Task Delegation

When the user invokes `/gw <task description>` (e.g., `/gw fix the auth token expiration bug`), follow these steps:

### Step 1: Parse the user's intent
From the natural language input, determine:
- **Task description** — what to pass as `--prompt`
- **Branch name** — generate a short, descriptive branch name from the task (e.g., `fix-auth-token-expiration`). Use conventional prefixes: `fix-`, `feat-`, `refactor-`, `docs-`, `test-`, `chore-`.
- **Base branch** — use the default unless the user specifies otherwise

### Step 2: Confirm and execute
Show the user what you're about to run, then execute:
```bash
gw new <branch-name> -T <terminal-method> --prompt "<task description>"
```

### Branch name rules
- Lowercase, hyphen-separated, max ~50 chars
- Strip filler words (the, a, an, for, in, on, etc.)
- Examples:
  - "Fix the JWT token expiration check in auth" → `fix-jwt-token-expiration`
  - "Add user avatar upload feature" → `feat-avatar-upload`
  - "Refactor the database connection pool" → `refactor-db-connection-pool`

### Terminal method selection
- **Default: omit the `-T` flag** to use the system default (`gw config get launch.method`). Only add `-T` if the user explicitly requests a specific terminal method.
- If the user explicitly asks for a specific method, use it. Common methods: `w-t` (WezTerm tab), `w-t-b` (WezTerm tab, background — no focus steal), `i-t` (iTerm2 tab), `t` (tmux session), `d` (detached/background)
- Once the user specifies a method, remember it for subsequent calls in the same session.

## Quick Reference

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `gw new <branch> [--prompt "..."]` | Create worktree + optionally launch AI with task |
| `gw delete <branch>` | Delete worktree and branch |
| `gw list` | List all worktrees with status |
| `gw status` | Show current worktree info |
| `gw resume [branch]` | Resume AI session in worktree |
| `gw pr [branch]` | Create GitHub Pull Request |
| `gw merge [branch]` | Merge branch into base |
| `gw sync [--all]` | Rebase worktree(s) onto base branch |
| `gw clean [--merged]` | Batch cleanup of worktrees |
| `gw diff <b1> <b2>` | Compare two branches |
| `gw change-base <new> [branch]` | Change base branch |
| `gw config <action>` | Configuration management |
| `gw doctor` | Run diagnostics |
| `gw tree` / `gw stats` | Visual hierarchy / statistics |
| `gw backup <action>` | Backup and restore worktrees |
| `gw stash <action>` | Worktree-aware stash management |
| `gw shell [worktree]` | Open shell in worktree |

## Delegate a task to a new worktree

```bash
gw new <branch-name> -T <terminal-method> --prompt "<task description>"
```

Example:
```bash
gw new fix-auth -T w-t --prompt "Fix JWT token expiration check in src/auth.rs"
```

This will:
1. Create a new git worktree on a new branch based on the current base branch
2. Open a new terminal (e.g. WezTerm tab)
3. Start Claude Code with the given prompt in interactive mode

### Terminal methods (use with -T flag)
- `w-t` — WezTerm new tab
- `w-t-b` — WezTerm new tab (background, no focus steal)
- `w-w` — WezTerm new window
- `i-t` — iTerm2 new tab
- `i-w` — iTerm2 new window
- `t` — tmux new session
- `t-w` — tmux new window
- `d` — detached (background, no terminal)

Use the method matching the user's terminal. If unsure, ask.

## Common Workflows

### Feature development
```bash
gw new feature-x --prompt "Implement feature X"
# ... work is done in the new worktree ...
gw pr feature-x                    # create PR
gw delete feature-x                # cleanup after merge
```

### Keep worktrees in sync
```bash
gw sync --all                      # rebase all worktrees onto their base
gw sync --all --ai-merge           # use AI to resolve conflicts
```

### Batch cleanup
```bash
gw clean --merged                  # delete worktrees for merged branches
gw clean --older-than 30d --dry-run  # preview old worktree cleanup
```

### Global mode (across repos)
```bash
gw -g list                         # list worktrees across all repos
gw -g scan --dir ~/projects        # discover repositories
```

## Guidelines

- Use descriptive branch names: `fix-auth`, `feat-login-page`, `refactor-api`
- Specify base branch if not main/master: `gw new fix-auth --base develop -T w-t --prompt "..."`
- One focused task per worktree
- The delegated Claude Code instance works independently in its own worktree directory
- You can delegate multiple tasks in parallel to different worktrees
- **Fire-and-forget**: Once a worktree task is spawned, you CANNOT stop it, send follow-up messages, or interact with it. The `--prompt` is the ONLY instruction the delegated instance receives. Therefore:
  - Make the `--prompt` comprehensive — include all requirements, constraints, and acceptance criteria upfront
  - If the user's request is vague or ambiguous, ask clarifying questions BEFORE spawning
  - Do NOT spawn a task assuming you can "correct course later" — you cannot
