Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Worktree Base Ref Setting

What

You can now choose whether new worktrees start from a clean remote default branch or from your current local HEAD.

Usage
{
  "worktree": {
    "baseRef": "head"
  }
}
Details
  • fresh remains the default and branches from origin/<default-branch>.
  • head branches from the current local HEAD, so unpushed commits and feature-branch state are present.
  • The setting applies to --worktree, EnterWorktree, and agent isolation.
  • The setting is also exposed in the config UI as “Worktree base ref”.
Evidence

Worktree setting schema and UI were added (search for "Which ref new worktrees branch from" and "Worktree base ref").

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
