A worktree gives each coding agent its own checkout, yet branches, ports, secret files and output folders can still collide. Here is what to check.
Running several coding agents at once is easy to start and surprisingly easy to get wrong. The usual first step is to give each agent a separate worktree, so that one agent editing files does not disturb another. That step really does solve the file-editing problem. It does not solve the rest of the shared machine: the branch each agent commits to, the network port its dev server opens, the untracked files it needs, and every path outside the checkout that more than one process writes to. This guide explains what a worktree isolates, then goes through the five places where parallel agents still collide, and closes with a pre-launch comparison for your own launcher.
