chore(agents): enforce worktree-first discipline with a PreToolUse guard - #1839
Merged
Conversation
Multiple agents work this repo in parallel. The shared `main` checkout has its HEAD switched and the tree reset under an agent mid-task, silently clobbering uncommitted edits (a full session's work was reverted twice). AGENTS.md already recommended one-worktree-per-task, but it was a soft "prefer" buried below the Prime Directives and nothing enforced it. - Add `.claude/hooks/guard-main-checkout.sh` (PreToolUse, wired in `.claude/settings.json`): blocks Edit/Write/NotebookEdit whenever HEAD is on `main`, with an actionable message; `OS_ALLOW_MAIN_EDITS=1` overrides for a deliberate non-task fix. - Promote worktree-first to AGENTS.md Prime Directive #11 and harden the Multi-agent working discipline section ("prefer" -> mandatory; main is not a supported fallback). Tooling/docs only — no package version impact. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Why
Multiple agents work this repo in parallel. The shared
maincheckout gets its HEAD switched and the tree reset under an agent mid-task, silently clobbering uncommitted edits — a full session's work was reverted twice during #1837. AGENTS.md already recommended one-worktree-per-task, but it was a soft "prefer" buried below the Prime Directives, and nothing enforced it. The gap was adherence, not clarity — so this adds a guardrail.What
.claude/hooks/guard-main-checkout.sh(new) — a PreToolUse hook wired in.claude/settings.jsonthat blocksEdit/Write/NotebookEditwhenever the session's checkout HEAD is onmain, with an actionable message telling the agent to create a worktree first. Exits 0 (allow) on any feature branch / non-git dir.OS_ALLOW_MAIN_EDITS=1overrides for a deliberate, non-task human fix.maincheckout is explicitly not a supported fallback).Verification
Hook tested locally across all three paths:
maincheckout → exit 2 (block) with guidancemain+OS_ALLOW_MAIN_EDITS=1→ exit 0 (allow)Tooling/docs only — no package version impact (empty changeset).
