Install Worktree
Set up an isolated Git worktree environment for parallel agent execution.
Arguments
$1: Worktree path (e.g.,trees/abc123)$2: Backend port (e.g.,9105)$3: Frontend port (e.g.,9205)
Instructions
You are setting up an isolated worktree environment for agent parallelization.
Step 1: Validate Arguments
Ensure all three arguments provided:
- Worktree path:
$1 - Backend port:
$2 - Frontend port:
$3
If any missing, report what's needed.
Step 2: Create Port Configuration
Create .ports.env file in the worktree:
BACKEND_PORT=$2
FRONTEND_PORT=$3
VITE_BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:$2
Step 3: Copy Environment Files
Copy main environment file and append port overrides:
# Copy base .env
cp .env $1/.env
# Append port configuration
cat $1/.ports.env >> $1/.env
If there's a server-specific .env, do the same:
cp app/server/.env $1/app/server/.env
cat $1/.ports.env >> $1/app/server/.env
Step 4: Update MCP Configuration
If .mcp.json exists, copy and update paths:
- Copy
.mcp.jsonto worktree - Update any paths to absolute paths for worktree
- Copy any MCP-related configs (e.g.,
playwright-mcp-config.json)
Step 5: Install Dependencies
Backend:
cd $1/app/server && uv sync --all-extras
Frontend:
cd $1/app/client && bun install
Step 6: Initialize Database (if applicable)
If there's a database reset script:
cd $1 && ./scripts/reset_db.sh
Step 7: Validate Installation
Run validation checks:
- Directory exists
-
.ports.envcreated -
.envfiles configured - Dependencies installed
Output
Report installation status:
{
"success": true,
"worktree_path": "$1",
"backend_port": $2,
"frontend_port": $3,
"steps_completed": ["ports", "env", "deps", "db"]
}
Notes
- Use deterministic port allocation:
slot = hash(adw_id) % 15 - Backend ports: 9100-9114
- Frontend ports: 9200-9214
- Always use absolute paths in configurations
