The bottleneck is not engineering speed. It is the loop between intent and working interface. Claude Design compresses that loop, but only if you use it the way that actually pays off.

Three agents in one workspace collide on branches, stash each other's state, and inherit leftover files. Sibling worktrees plus a fresh base branch fix all three. Here is the setup.
Three agents pushed branches on schedule. The fourth stalled on a quota ceiling and I did not notice for twenty minutes. The fix was not better agents. It was inspectable ones.
Two agents fit on one screen. Three forces you to switch. Four means you stop reading the output. The terminal is not the right unit for parallel agents.
Two agents can share a branch and you survive. The third agent is where ownership breaks. Here is the mapping I use to keep one agent tied to one task, one branch, one worktree.
You install Herdr and suddenly you can see all your agents in one table. That is not the same as having agents that coordinate. The two problems are easy to confuse.
Sharing a workspace across agents feels efficient. It is the most expensive shortcut in a multi-agent workflow. Here is when one-to-one mapping earns its overhead.
Approving an agent decision from your phone sounds like a flex. Most of the time it is the wrong answer. Here is the one scenario where it pays off.
It's Friday 5pm. Production is broken. Your feature branch is half done. Here's exactly what to do, and what NOT to do, using GitHub Flow.
