Pattern: Agent Orchestration Tools Converge on Git Worktree Isolation as the Standard Parallelism Primitive

GitHub·medium signal

Superset, Cursor 3 (/worktree command), and Claude Code's agent teams all independently adopted git worktrees as the isolation mechanism for parallel agent work. The pattern: each agent gets its own worktree, works in isolation, generates a reviewable diff, and the human merges selectively. This convergence suggests worktree-based isolation is becoming the standard primitive for multi-agent development, replacing branch-based workflows that required manual conflict resolution.
