Parallel Agents & Worktrees

Why Run Agents in Parallel?

• Compare approaches: Same prompt across 3 models → pick the best result
• Isolate work: Each agent edits its own files without conflicts
• Delegate background tasks: Offload bug fixes, tests, docs while you work on something else
• Speed: Multiple independent tasks done simultaneously

Git Worktrees (Local Parallel Agents)

How It Works

Cursor creates isolated git worktrees for each agent. Each has its own:

• File system (changes don't affect other agents)
• Build/test environment
• Branch

When an agent finishes, click Apply to merge changes back.
