To prevent merge conflicts during parallel agent coordination, you partition work into non-overlapping lanes with clear ownership and protect shared surfaces using lock management and interface contracts before changes begin.

Multi-agent planning requires an execution brief, lane plan, backlog, lock manifest, and interface contracts. These artifacts define ownership boundaries and integration rules to track delivery quality through enforced quality gates.

Yes, you can use lock management to protect shared code surfaces across multiple agents. Lock manifests and interface contracts establish integration rules, ensuring parallel lanes do not overwrite or conflict on dependent specifications.

To generate a multi-lane execution plan from a feature spec, provide the project brief to build context from product docs and existing code. The system outputs a complete plan with ownership assignments, lock manifests, and delivery artifacts.

The best way to track cross-lane progress and escalate blockers is through status updates and blocker reports. These execution artifacts monitor cross-lane coordination, ensuring on-time delivery and enforcing quality gates throughout the workflow.

You should not use lane partitioning for multi-agent delivery when a codebase or feature spec cannot be divided into non-overlapping segments. Without clear ownership boundaries, lock management and interface contracts cannot prevent integration conflicts.
