Use when a coding task needs a concurrent checkout, unrelated dirty state blocks safe branch switching, or the user or repository explicitly requires a worktree.

# Using Git Worktrees

## Overview

A worktree is an exception for simultaneously checking out another Git history,
not a general safety badge. Prefer the current workspace and reuse an existing
suitable worktree. A branch decision and a worktree decision are separate.

**Core principle:** create only with necessity and ownership evidence; pair every
created worktree with a cleanup path.

**Announce at start:** explain which concrete checkout conflict requires a
worktree.
