coding-agents multi-agent git architecture

Git is my multi-agent protocol
My lead can absorb feature requests all day because every agent works in a clean worktree and hands back an exact commit range. The underrated command is cherry-pick: it lets the lead replay approved histories onto a disposable candidate, test the combination, and keep main out of the mess.

Every token is helping or hurting
Two context-engineering features I built into goldengoose: compaction notifications routed to whoever created the agent and a context gauge any teammate can read. Then there is the planning habit that makes them rarely necessary: scope phases like context is the currency, and bias under-scoped.

Every harness gets background processes wrong
I didn't plan to build a process manager. But the two providers under goldengoose disagreed about everything terminal-shaped, neither gave me programmatic control or observability, and both wasted agent turns on polling. Owning that layer changed how I ship daily.

Worktrees weren't the point
I bounced off git worktrees twice before they became essential to how I ship daily. What changed wasn't the worktrees. It was realizing that isolation is the cheap half of parallel work, and everything I was missing lived in the expensive half: integration.

You don't know what you want to build
The most useful thing I've learned about working with coding agents isn't a harness or a workflow. It's that no amount of intelligence or compute applied to a thin specification beats a long conversation with the model before anything gets planned or built.

Code review can't see a broken button
My RPI pipeline ends with a reviewer clearing the diff, but a diff can't tell you the modal opens behind the header. So for web apps I added a stage after review: an agent that opens a browser, uses the feature like a person, and files what it finds back to the implementers.

My engineering process is five markdown files
Every non-trivial feature I ship goes through a research → plan → implement pipeline run entirely by agents. The whole process is five markdown files in .agents/skills, and the weird rules in them are the interesting part.

ChatGPT is my background coding agent
How I turned a ChatGPT subscription into a set-and-forget coding agent on a real Linux machine, and how it hands work back and forth with the agents on my laptop.
