# Chore Worktree Ref

| Aspect | Value |
|--------|-------|
| **Worktree ref prefix** | `chore/` |
| **Commit** | `chore:`, `docs:`, `ci:`, or `build:` |
| **Version** | None |
| **Create linked worktree from** | `main` |
| **Examples** | `chore/update-dependencies`, `chore/fix-github-actions`, `chore/configure-eslint` |

```bash
${AIDEVOPS_DIR:-$HOME/.aidevops}/agents/scripts/worktree-helper.sh add chore/{description}
# Then cd into the sibling worktree path printed by the helper before editing.
```

## When to Use

- Dependency, CI/CD, docs, build, and tooling maintenance
- Code formatting/linting fixes
- License or `.gitignore` updates

**Not for** behavior changes; use `feature/`, `bugfix/`, or `refactor/` instead.
