Running multiple AI coding agents on the same project can lead to silent data loss when agents overwrite each other's work without conflict detection. This occurs because agents typically read, modify, and rewrite entire files, and the second agent to write effectively erases the first's changes. Solutions involve isolating each agent's work, often by using Git worktrees to create separate copies of the project for each agent, allowing conflicts to be surfaced and resolved explicitly during the merge process.
