3 moves that matter, and 12 you can ignore.
Moves — your play
Your move irskep/autowt
autowt v0.6.0 rewritten in Go; claims 30ms overhead vs. 200ms in Python (irskep/autowt GitHub releases, 2026-06-11). Performance-focused rewrite suggests rival is optimizing for speed in the worktree-manager space.
Performance is table stakes for editor-native workflows. Validate your session startup and command latency against 30ms baseline; if you're slower, the wedge erodes. If faster, lead with that in positioning.
Your move smtg-ai/claude-squad
Claude Squad v1.0.18 shipped UI event loop fixes and instance reorder (Shift+J/K) — github.com/smtg-ai/claude-squad. v1.0.17 added source branch selection for sessions and preset profile config.
Claude Squad is tightening session UX (reorder, branch control, profiles). Double down on git-native worktree persistence as the differentiator — your wedge is the *layer*, not the UI chrome. Make session state portable across tools; let them own the reorder.
Your move smtg-ai/claude-squad
v1.0.19 is a version bump only (2026-06-17); no feature changelog. Suggests either a quiet release cycle or internal stabilization.
Watch for a feature drop in the next tagged release. If it lands session sync or cross-tool state, that's a direct wedge play — move fast on interop.
