Terminal CLI (nsq)A worktree per agent

A worktree per agent

Two agents editing the same checkout get in each other’s way. --worktree gives an agent its own git worktree : a separate checkout of the same repository, on its own branch.

cd ~/code/shop nsq run claude "fix the flaky checkout test" --worktree --name checkout-fix nsq run codex "update the API docs" --worktree --name api-docs
  • The branch is nsq/<agent name> — nsq/checkout-fix above.
  • The checkout lives in ~/.neurosquad-cli/worktrees/, not inside your repository.
  • nsq ls shows each agent’s branch; nsq diff <agent> shows what it changed.
  • In the dashboard, the start dialog (c) has a worktree switch.

Review and merge the branch the way you always do — it is an ordinary git branch.

Removing it

nsq rm checkout-fix # removes the agent, keeps the worktree and the branch nsq rm checkout-fix --worktree # also deletes the worktree folder

--worktree deletes the folder including changes that were not committed — commit what you want to keep first.

Without --worktree, nsq tells you where the worktree is and keeps it, so no work is lost by accident. The branch itself stays in your repository either way; delete it with git when you no longer need it.
