AgentRift – Parallel agent runs with Git worktrees

Copy-on-write Git worktrees let multiple AI agents collaborate without conflicts

Problem

Developers want to run multiple AI coding agents simultaneously, but they clash in the same repo. The Show HN project Riftri tries copy-on-write Git worktrees, but such tools are scarce and complex to set up.

Solution

A lightweight CLI or GUI that automatically creates isolated worktrees per agent, supports one-click sync and merge. Agents work in parallel, then merge via smart diff.

Users

Engineers and teams using multiple AI agents for development.

MVP

CLI to create/destroy worktrees; auto branch and dependency handling; simple progress logs per agent; conflict hints on merge.

Revenue

Open core + paid team plan (remote collab, audit logs, CI integration), per-team subscription.

Why now

Multi-agent workflows rise but parallel collaboration tools lag; indie devs can build fast while cloud vendors overlook this niche.
