The window

Every project. Only the Markdown.

Projects are folders you already have. MD Worktree shows the documents in them and leaves the source, the build output and node_modules alone.

MD Worktree with the Harbour project open: a rail of project tiles, a Markdown-only folder tree and a rendered overview document. Split mode: the Markdown source on the left, its live preview on the right with a table and a callout, and the document's details beside them. The comparison after an agent changed a file with unsaved edits: the two versions line by line, with Keep Mine, Take Disk Version and Apply Merge. The Agents view, listing AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Copilot instructions and a skill's SKILL.md in one place, with the selected one rendered. The project switcher over the window, with five projects as coloured tiles and their shortcuts. Project search for the word harbour, with matches grouped by document beside a rendered page with maths. The export sheet with PDF selected, paper and margin options and a page preview. The window in a light theme, with the tags browser in the sidebar.

Projects on the rail, each in its own colour. The tree shows the Markdown and marks what changed since your last commit.

A morning with agents

Brief, read, resolve, hand back.

The whole loop happens in one window, and none of it waits for you to find a file.

  1. You brief the agent.

    The Agents view lists CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, Copilot's instructions and every skill's SKILL.md, wherever they sit in the project. Check what your agents are told before they start.

    The Agents view listing AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, copilot-instructions.md and SKILL.md, with AGENTS.md open.

  2. It writes. You read, properly.

    New documents appear in the tree as they land, marked as new. Callouts, tables, maths, diagrams and code render beside the source, so a 400-line plan reads like a document.

    ⌥⌘3 Split ⌥⌘4 Read

    Split mode: Markdown source on the left and the rendered page with a table and an Important callout on the right.

  3. It rewrites the file you're editing.

    MD Worktree notices the change on disk and keeps your unsaved edits. You get a hunk-by-hunk comparison: keep yours, take the agent's, or merge. Nothing is overwritten silently.

  4. You hand back the context.

    Copy for AI wraps a document, a folder or the whole project in path-tagged blocks with a token estimate. Set a ceiling and it tells you what it left out.

    ⌥⌘C Copy for AI
