6 sections, as written by the author

Purpose

When a new git worktree is created, gitignored files (like the Temporal CLI binary in bin/) are missing and server assets haven't been built. Run this skill to get a new worktree ready for development.

Steps

1. Find the main worktree path

git worktree list

The first entry is the main worktree. Use it as $MAIN.

2. Copy .env from the main worktree

MAIN=$(git worktree list | head -1 | awk '{print $1}')
cp $MAIN/.env ./.env

3. Build server assets

Builds the frontend into server/ui/assets/ which the Go server embeds. Required for pnpm dev to start.

pnpm build:server

pnpm dev should now start without errors.

Why each step is needed

| Step | Why |

| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| Copy .env | Gitignored — not present in a fresh worktree, needed for dev modes |

| pnpm build:server | Runs VITE_API= BUILD_PATH=server/ui/assets/local vite build — without this, pnpm dev fails because the embedded server assets are missing |

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take temporalio/setup-worktree from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
