Four agents. One board. Zero collisions.
Parallel development only pays off when the work stays coherent. Give every run a bounded task, its own worktree, a visible state and one review path back to you.
- Isolated worktree per run
- Queue you can see
- Spec-driven subtasks
- 1 → 16
- concurrent runs by plan
- 1:1
- run to isolated worktree

PARALLEL, LIVE
Three agents working at once, and you can still follow it.
Tasks fan out to different agents, each run reports live, and an approved plan can become ordered subtasks that execute in sequence.
01 / 05
Give agents a real brief.
Create tasks with descriptions, acceptance criteria, images and tags—then move them through the workflow your team already understands.
- Custom sections and columns
- Agent, tag and role routing
- Context stays attached to the task
Showing Payments: Give agents a real brief.
Parallel execution needs shared structure
Opening more agent sessions is easy. Keeping their work coherent is the hard part. Without shared structure, two agents touch the same files, one waits on a question nobody read, and a third finishes changes that sit unreviewed for a day.
cadre.rocks organizes parallel development around the board. Ownership, progress, blockers and review live in one place, while each agent keeps using its own CLI, login and model. Isolated branches and worktrees make concurrency safe instead of hopeful.
HOW PARALLEL STAYS SANE
Bounded assignments
Each run is attached to one task with a description, acceptance criteria and repository — not a free-floating prompt.
- Acceptance criteria tracked on the card
- Task types, tags and swimlane sections
- Context images passed to the agent
Isolation by construction
Concurrency is safe because runs never share a working directory or a branch.
- One branch and worktree per run
- Chained worktrees for ordered subtasks
- Merge only into the branch you have open, on your command
Plans that become a backlog
Turn on spec-driven subtasks and an approved plan decomposes into sequential micro-tasks under an umbrella card.
- Subtasks inherit repository and tags
- They run in order, gated by the previous one
- The umbrella tracks progress across the whole plan
HOW IT RUNS
From a defined task to an approved result.
- 01
Break the outcome into tasks
Separate work by responsibility so parallel runs have clear boundaries from the start.
- 02
Match tasks to agents
Choose the CLI, model and reasoning level per column, or bind agents to tags.
- 03
Resolve blockers centrally
Answer agent questions on the card, with the run and its logs still in front of you.
- 04
Merge through review
Inspect the plan and the diff, approve, and merge locally when the branch is ready.
Agents execute.
You keep the gates.
Questions, plans, commands and code changes return to one decision surface before the workflow can continue.
How should board-wide approvals expire?
1. Validate repository paths at the service boundary.
2. Refactor the import coordinator and add adversarial tests.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions, answered.
How do coding agents avoid editing the same files?
Every run executes in its own Git worktree on its own branch, so two agents never write to the same working directory. Bounded tasks and visible ownership on the board keep the work from overlapping in the first place.
Do all tasks have to use the same model?
No. Each column picks its own agents, models and reasoning effort, and tag-based routing can override the default per task.
What happens when I hit my concurrency limit?
Extra runs enter a visible queue with a position on the card and start automatically as slots free up. Free allows 1 concurrent run, Pro 4 and Team 16.
Can one plan produce several tasks?
Yes. With spec-driven subtasks enabled, approving a plan creates ordered subtasks under an umbrella task that inherit the repository and tags and run in sequence.
