GPT is better than I can explain.

However, worktree only solves directory and code isolation.

The biggest pit is that the Agent is only responsible for the relevant modules.

Only when PR is merged, there may be code conflicts caused by modifying the common module area.

This buddy's a great idea @ Scott __ D.

At the same time, it is necessary to strictly define the responsibilities and boundaries of each agent.

If you need to modify the common module, it is best to have an independent agent or skill to specifically accept and review this matter, and it is troublesome not to merge the code.
