Jesse VincentSets up a worktree so a feature or a plan runs somewhere other than your current checkout. Cheap insurance when an agent is about to touch a lot of files.
In the author’s words
Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - ensures an isolated workspace exists via native tools or git worktree fallback

Goes well with
resolving-merge-conflicts
Works through an in-progress merge or rebase conflict.
For the moment you are mid-rebase with twelve conflicted files and no memory of what either side was trying to do. It reads both sides for intent rather than picking a hunk and moving on.

DeliveryFull page & trust audit →executing-plans
Works a written plan through to the end.
The other half of writing-plans. It keeps the agent on the plan it agreed to, step by step, rather than quietly redesigning halfway down.

subagent-driven-development
Runs the independent parts of a plan in parallel.
For a plan whose tasks do not depend on each other. It hands them to separate agents in the same session, which is faster and keeps each one's context focused on its own piece.
