Sets up isolated workspaces for feature development using native platform tools with Git worktree fallback. Use this before starting implementation work that needs separation from your main branch, or when executing plans that require branch isolation. Detects existing isolation first to avoid redundant setup.
- Detects if you're already in an isolated workspace before creating new ones
- Prefers native platform worktree tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex harnesses) over manual Git
- Falls back to manual `git worktree` commands when native tools unavailable
- Ensures feature branches stay isolated from current workspace without switching contexts
