# Kilo Code Agent Manager: Orchestrate Parallel Agents with Isolated Work Trees

▶

Chapters / key moments
(click to jump — plays here on the page)

Kilo Code's Agent Manager brings a full kanban-style dashboard for running multiple coding agents simultaneously inside VS Code. Each agent card is backed by its own git work tree — complete isolation so agents never overwrite each other's files. You can also spin up two agents on the same task with different models and compare their diffs side by side before deciding which to merge.

## Key Takeaways

- **Git work tree isolation:** every agent card runs in its own branch — file conflicts between parallel agents are impossible by design.
- **Kanban board:** cards move through To Do → Doing → Done columns; pull request status is visible per card without leaving the Agent Manager.
- **Model selection per agent:** create a new work tree and pick any available model (Claude Sonnet, Opus, GPT-5, etc.) independently for each task.
- **Side-by-side model comparison:** run two agents on the identical prompt with different models to benchmark quality before merging.
- **One-click VS Code handoff:** open any work tree as a full VS Code folder — IntelliSense, debugger, and terminal all available without switching apps.
- **Per-work-tree terminal:** the built-in terminal auto-navigates to the correct directory for each agent, so debugging a failed task requires no manual `cd`.
