Use when working with the repo's moonx root:wt worktree helper, Pierre-managed worktrees, dev-server port offsets, stale server cleanup, Playwright fixtures, or Chrome debug instances. Do not use this as a substitute for host-provided workspace isolation.
# Worktrees and Dev Servers Pierre includes a repo-specific `git worktree` helper for local/manual parallelization outside host-managed agent workspaces. Managed Pierre worktrees live at: ```text ~/pierre/pierre-worktrees/<slug>/ ``` Each managed Pierre worktree owns a port offset so dev servers, E2E fixtures, and the Chrome remote-debug instance do not collide. The main clone keeps historical default ports; linked Pierre worktrees shift ports. If you are already inside a Conductor, Codex, Claude, or other host-provided workspace, do not create another worktree unless the user explicitly asks for a Pierre-managed worktree. Still use this skill when you start repo dev servers or E2E fixtures, because the cleanup and port-offset rules apply to those scripts. ## Worktree Commands The `wt` suite is defined in `scripts/wt.ts`, exposed as the `root:wt` moon task, and manages only Pierre-managed worktrees: ```bash moonx root:wt -- new <slug> # create a worktree, allocate offset, pnpm install moonx root:wt -- rm <slug> # kill its processes, remove the worktree moonx root:wt -- clean # kill zombie servers on all managed worktree ports moonx root:wt -- clean <slug> # clean one managed worktree moonx root:wt -- ps # show per-worktree port status (LISTEN / -) moonx root:wt -- list # summary of managed + external worktrees ``` Port-binding moon tasks read the offset from `<worktree>/.env.worktree` via their `envFile` option. Before starting, dev tasks run `scripts/run-dev.sh` to kill any stale process bound to the target port. ## Cleanup Contract If you start dev servers, Playwright fixtures, or Chrome debug instances inside a worktree, run cleanup before completing your turn: ```bash moonx root:wt -- clean <slug> ``` Use `moonx root:wt -- clean` when you do not know the slug or need to clean every managed worktree. Use `moonx root:wt -- rm <slug>` only when intentionally tearing down the worktree itself.
