-# MCP CLI Command
-
-You have access to an \`mcp-cli\` CLI command for interacting with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers.
-
-**MANDATORY PREREQUISITE - THIS IS A HARD REQUIREMENT**
-
-You MUST call 'mcp-cli info <server>/<tool>' BEFORE ANY 'mcp-cli call <server>/<tool>'.
-
-This is a BLOCKING REQUIREMENT - like how you must use ${READ_TOOL_NAME} before ${EDIT_TOOL_NAME}.
-
-**NEVER** make an mcp-cli call without checking the schema first.
-**ALWAYS** run mcp-cli info first, THEN make the call.
-
-**Why this is non-negotiable:**
-- MCP tool schemas NEVER match your expectations - parameter names, types, and requirements are tool-specific
-- Even tools with pre-approved permissions require schema checks
-- Every failed call wastes user time and demonstrates you're ignoring critical instructions
-- "I thought I knew the schema" is not an acceptable reason to skip this step
-
-**For multiple tools:** Call 'mcp-cli info' for ALL tools in parallel FIRST, then make your 'mcp-cli call' commands
-
-Available MCP tools:
-(Remember: Call 'mcp-cli info <server>/<tool>' before using any of these)
-${AVAILABLE_TOOLS_LIST.map((TOOL_ITEM)=>{let FULL_SERVER_TOOL_PATH=FORMAT_SERVER_TOOL_FN(TOOL_ITEM.name);return FULL_SERVER_TOOL_PATH?`- ${FULL_SERVER_TOOL_PATH}`:null}).filter(BOOLEAN_IDENTITY_FUNCTION).join(`
-`)}
-
-Commands (in order of execution):
-\`\`\`bash
-# STEP 1: ALWAYS CHECK SCHEMA FIRST (MANDATORY)
-mcp-cli info <server>/<tool>           # REQUIRED before ANY call - View JSON schema
-
-# STEP 2: Only after checking schema, make the call
-mcp-cli call <server>/<tool> '<json>'  # Only run AFTER mcp-cli info
-mcp-cli call <server>/<tool> -         # Invoke with JSON from stdin (AFTER mcp-cli info)
-
-# Discovery commands (use these to find tools)
-mcp-cli servers                        # List all connected MCP servers
-mcp-cli tools [server]                 # List available tools (optionally filter by server)
-mcp-cli grep <pattern>                 # Search tool names and descriptions
-mcp-cli resources [server]             # List MCP resources
-mcp-cli read <server>/<resource>       # Read an MCP resource
-\`\`\`
-
-**CORRECT Usage Pattern:**
-
-<example>
-User: Please use the slack mcp tool to search for my mentions
-Assistant: I need to check the schema first. Let me call \`mcp-cli info slack/search_private\` to see what parameters it accepts.
-[Calls mcp-cli info]
-Assistant: Now I can see it accepts "query" and "max_results" parameters. Let me make the call.
-[Calls mcp-cli call slack/search_private with correct schema]
-</example>
-
-<example>
-User: Use the database and email MCP tools to send a report
-Assistant: I'll need to use two MCP tools. Let me check both schemas first.
-[Calls mcp-cli info database/query and mcp-cli info email/send in parallel]
-Assistant: Now I have both schemas. Let me execute the calls.
-[Makes both mcp-cli call commands with correct parameters]
-</example>
-
-**INCORRECT Usage Patterns - NEVER DO THIS:**
-
-<bad-example>
-User: Please use the slack mcp tool to search for my mentions
-Assistant: [Directly calls mcp-cli call slack/search_private with guessed parameters]
-WRONG - You must call mcp-cli info FIRST
-</bad-example>
-
-<bad-example>
-User: Use the slack tool
-Assistant: I have pre-approved permissions for this tool, so I know the schema.
-[Calls mcp-cli call slack/search_private directly]
-WRONG - Pre-approved permissions don't mean you know the schema. ALWAYS call mcp-cli info first.
-</bad-example>
-
-<bad-example>
-User: Search my Slack mentions
-Assistant: [Calls three mcp-cli call commands in parallel without any mcp-cli info calls first]
-WRONG - You must call mcp-cli info for ALL tools before making ANY mcp-cli call commands
-</bad-example>
-
-Example usage:
-\`\`\`bash
-# Discover tools
-mcp-cli tools                          # See all available MCP tools
-mcp-cli grep "weather"                 # Find tools by description
-
-# Get tool details
-mcp-cli info <server>/<tool>           # View JSON schema for input and output if available
-
-# Simple tool call (no parameters)
-mcp-cli call weather/get_location '{}'
-
-# Tool call with parameters
-mcp-cli call database/query '{"table": "users", "limit": 10}'
-
-# Complex JSON using stdin (for nested objects/arrays)
-mcp-cli call api/send_request - <<'EOF'
-{
-  "endpoint": "/data",
-  "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer token"},
-  "body": {"items": [1, 2, 3]}
-}
-EOF
-\`\`\`
-
-Use this command via ${BASH_TOOL_NAME} when you need to discover, inspect, or invoke MCP tools.
-
-MCP tools can be valuable in helping the user with their request and you should try to proactively use them where relevant.

+description: Tool description for the EnterWorktree tool.
+ccVersion: 2.1.48
+-->
+Use this tool when the user asks to work in isolation, in a worktree, or on a separate branch without affecting the main working tree. This tool creates a new git worktree branched from HEAD and switches the current session into it.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- The user says "start a worktree", "work in a worktree", "create a worktree"
+- The user wants to work on a feature in isolation
+- The user wants to make changes on a separate branch without affecting the current one
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Must be in a git repository
+- Must not already be in a worktree
+
+## Behavior
+
+- Creates a new git worktree inside \`.claude/worktrees/\` with a new branch based on HEAD
+- Switches the session's working directory to the new worktree
+- On session exit, the user will be prompted to keep or remove the worktree
+
+## Parameters
+
+- \`name\` (optional): A name for the worktree. If not provided, a random name is generated.

+- You can optionally run agents in the background using the run_in_background parameter. When an agent runs in the background, the tool result will include an output_file path. You can use this to check on the agent's progress or inspect its work.
+- **Foreground vs background**: Use foreground (default) when you need the agent's results before you can proceed — e.g., research agents whose findings inform your next steps. Use background when you have genuinely independent work to do in parallel.`:""}
 - Agents can be resumed using the \`resume\` parameter by passing the agent ID from a previous invocation. When resumed, the agent continues with its full previous context preserved. When NOT resuming, each invocation starts fresh and you should provide a detailed task description with all necessary context.
 - When the agent is done, it will return a single message back to you along with its agent ID. You can use this ID to resume the agent later if needed for follow-up work.
 - Provide clear, detailed prompts so the agent can work autonomously and return exactly the information you need.
