Worktree Agent

[ SLANG ][ AGENT CULTURE ][ MACHINE CULTURE ]

FORCE: Machine CultureUNIVERSE: Agent CultureCLUSTER: orchestration

An AI coding agent assigned to its own isolated git worktree so it can make changes in parallel with other agents or the human developer without their file edits colliding.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Spun up a worktree agent for the refactor so it wouldn't touch the files I was actively editing."

LORE & ORIGIN

Practical solution to the concurrency problem parallel agents create — multiple agents editing the same working directory at once would corrupt each other's changes, so each gets its own checkout.
