Anthropic recommends a git worktree per agent. Your runtime infra makes that a problem.

The New Stack article discusses Anthropic's recommendation for developers to use a git worktree per coding agent. The recommendation is intended to isolate concurrent changes made by multiple agents. However, the article highlights a practical issue: the runtime infrastructure commonly used by developers is not designed to handle this workflow. Specifically, a developer supervising four coding agents would have four changes in flight at once, each in its own git worktree. This scenario presents a problem for the runtime environment, which must manage these separate worktrees effectively. The article suggests that while the worktree-per-agent approach is recommended, the existing runtime infrastructure may not support it seamlessly, creating friction for developers trying to adopt the practice.

Developers using multiple coding agents may face runtime infrastructure challenges when following Anthropic's worktree-per-agent recommendation.
