What are the best ways, tricks and practices to get multiple agents working on the same codebase in parallel?

Super helpful thank you. 

Right now I’m in a similar spot with Max mode and working on main but am in a place where I I want to run more at once. I’ll try playing with the background agents as you’ve described. 

I’ve seen some people will have multiple instances of the same repo and then run it on main that way on each way and then merge so im gonna try that as well.

you can do multiple sidebar / main agents if you want also but this gets tricky as the code changes are live in dev. So I only use one main coding and maybe a 2nd main for questions or planning etc. 

Background agents are different as they work on their own branch each. Then you convert to a PR or edit or approve and merge etc. 

bg agents you can just run as many as you want but then you have backlogs to go through, review, approve etc. I kind of use background agents as like my to-do list where they start the feature and then I finish it later.  Often times by the time I come back to it I’ve already done it and just delete it.

my current workflow is to primarily use one main agent in Max mode. Give it tons of context and details and it is hitting it out of the park.

How do you use them specifically in parallel? Or you simply just run many and see what happens?
