Action Steps

Create a new Git worktree using the command 'git worktree add <path> <branch>' to isolate an agent's workspace
Configure each agent to use its own worktree, ensuring parallel work doesn't interfere with each other
Use 'git worktree list' to manage and list all worktrees, making it easier to keep track of each agent's workspace
Apply this approach to your own projects to enable parallel work and reduce conflicts
Test the isolated workspaces by running multiple agents in parallel and verifying that their changes don't interfere with each other
