Guide
Running one coding agent is easy. Running four on the same repository without them overwriting each other takes some structure: separate checkouts, a queue of well-defined tasks, and a way to review what comes back. This guide sets that up in YOLO Studio.
Get startedAgents edit files and run git commands. Put two in the same directory and one agent’s half-finished change becomes the other’s broken build. Each agent needs its own checkout and its own branch, and the work needs splitting into pieces that do not depend on each other’s unmerged code.
Create a workspace from your GitHub repository, or import a local project with yolostart.
Add an agent tile and choose Create new lane, or press Quick Lane in the toolbar. Each lane is its own git clone on a lane/<name> branch. Mix agents freely: Claude Code in one lane, Codex in another, Gemini CLI in a third.
Keep the tasks independent: one agent on the API, another on the UI, a third on tests. Turn on YOLO Mode so they do not stop for approval.
When a lane is done, use the Commit & Push or Merge to Main shortcut on its tile, or open a pull request from the lane’s branch.
For more than a handful of tasks, let the Background Runner hand them out.
Add a Kanban board and say what you want done. It becomes cards, one outcome each, with acceptance criteria spelled out.
Sharpen vague cards, and link cards that depend on each other so a dependent card waits for the work it needs to be merged.
Pick the board’s Ready column as the Runner’s source and choose how many cards run at once (one to four). Each card gets its own isolated lane and agent.
Manual, PR + review, or Auto merge into the branches you allow. Turn on Agent review to have a different model check each result before anything relies on it.
Each finished card records its result and, for code, its commit or pull request. Cards that need you are held for review instead of guessed at.
A card that says exactly what done looks like is one an agent can finish without asking.
Cards that touch different files merge cleanly; cards that rewrite the same module conflict.
If B needs A’s code, link them. The Runner starts B only once A has landed.
Sign in with GitHub, open a workspace on your repository, and put your first agent to work in a few minutes.
