Parallel runs: one CLI, many agents
The shape of the problem
One long-running agent is a queue of one. Most work — lint fixes, migrations, backports — is embarrassingly parallel.
How it works
optamus run "migrate to vitest" --parallel 4
Each run gets its own worktree, its own context window, and its own place in the log.
Limits worth knowing
- Concurrent runs are capped by your plan.
- Shared file writes serialise automatically.
--parallelis still explicit — nothing fans out unless you ask.
