## What it is
Treehouse is a Go CLI tool that manages a pool of reusable, isolated git worktrees so developers and AI coding agents can work on multiple tasks in parallel without manual repo cloning. It drops users into a clean worktree subshell and returns it to a pool afterward, preserving dependencies and build caches.

## Use cases
- run multiple AI agent sessions in parallel without conflicts
- get an isolated git worktree instantly for a new task
- reuse worktrees with dependencies and build cache intact
- stop juggling multiple clones of the same repository
- prevent agents from stepping on each other's changes
- clean up lingering processes when leaving a worktree

## When to choose
- you run AI coding agents frequently and want fast, isolated environments
- you work on several tasks in one repo simultaneously
- you want to avoid re-cloning and reinstalling dependencies per task
- you need automatic conflict detection between in-use worktrees

## When to avoid
- you only work on one task at a time in a single checkout
- your workflow doesn't use git or worktrees
- you need full CI/CD or container-level environment isolation rather than git worktree isolation
