alt Hacker NewsI have not used Claude. But my experience with Gemini and aider is that multiple instances of agents will absolutely stomp over each other. Even in a single sessions overwriting my changes after telling the agent that I did modifications will often result in clobbering.

You should try Claude opus 4.5 then. I haven’t had that issue. The key is you need to have well defined specs and detailed instructions for each agent.

Proper sandboxing can fix this. But I didn’t see op mention it which I thought was weird

See the agent as a coworker ssh-ing on your machine, how would you work efficiently ? By working on the same directory ? No
You give each agent a git worktree and if you want to check, you checkout their branch.
