Add a background-task skill for parallel worktree workflows, along with safe shell helper functions (worktree-git, worktree-rm, gempty-branches) that are auto-loaded via the existing preToolUse hook. Update the commit-and-push rule to document worktree commands and add .worktrees to .gitignore.

This allows for running /background-task "description of change to make" -- and it will automatically create a new worktree and use worktree-* commands that can be auto-approved without worrying about them overwriting your current active branch not on a worktree
Summary
background-taskskill (.cursor/skills/background-task/SKILL.md) that documents the full worktree workflow for making changes on other branches without affecting the user's working directory — adapted from the main repo's skill for pnpm,mainbranch, and the tools repo's hook-based function loading.worktree-git— safe git wrapper that only runs inside.worktrees/directoriesworktree-rm— safe rm wrapper that only operates on.worktrees/paths (handles both full worktree removal and files within worktrees)gempty-branches— re-triggers CI on branches via empty commits using temporary worktrees.cursor/rules/commit-and-push.mdcto document worktree commands alongside existingtools-git/tools-rm.worktreesto.gitignoreMade with Cursor
