It’s not for building 10 complex or overlapping features at a time.
Parallel agents are useful for:
1. Offloading minor refactoring work
2. Offloading non-overlapping features
3. Offloading unit or integration test additions
4. Exploring multiple ways to build a feature with maybe different coding models
5. Seeing how Claude code thinks for extremely ambitious ideas and taking only the gist of it
Most of these tools don’t make working with Git merges or conflicts to main simpler in their UX. Even in Cursor, it helps to be good at using git from the command line to use Parallel agents effectively (diff, patch, cherry-pick from worktree to main etc)
