This is a really interesting approach to parallel AI-driven development.

The idea of multiple agents working across separate worktrees in a coordinated way that's a level of orchestration most people haven't even considered yet. Most are still figuring out single-agent workflows.

A few questions for you:

Conflict resolution How do you handle situations where two agents modify the same file in different worktrees? Do you have a merge strategy, or do you design the worktree split to avoid overlap entirely?

Context sharing Do agents have awareness of what other agents are doing, or are they truly independent and you orchestrate at a higher level?

Failure handling If one agent's worktree ends up with broken code, do you isolate or roll back? How do you prevent cascading issues?

I've been exploring similar patterns with Cursor and Claude, but parallel orchestration is still something I'm wrapping my head around. This gives me a lot to think about.

Thanks for sharing following this with interest. 🙌
