For
Mac developers coordinating multiple coding agents
Worth noticing
A per-host daemon keeps worktrees on the machine running each thread; the page says offline hosts catch up when reconnected.

Field notes

The page describes questions collecting in a “Needs you” queue, with replies possible by click or number key while agents work. For larger tasks, missions divide a goal into stations across hosts; the described workflow checks evidence and merges in order, with token and time budgets. A command palette, context meter, and PR-oriented worktree flow are also listed.
