Pane shines when you have more parallelizable work than agents-at-attention. Below are concrete workflows where the parallel-agent + worktree model pays off. Each page has a step-by-step walkthrough.
Ship 3 features at once
One agent per feature, isolated worktrees, no merge conflicts in-flight. Cut wall time by 60%.
Refactor 5 packages in parallel
Same task spec, different scope. Spawn N agents on the same refactor and run them all overnight.
Review agent PRs faster
Agent writes, you review the diff in Pane, ⌘K commit. The loop stays in one window.
Run agents on powerful remote hardware
Keep the Pane UI on your laptop while worktrees, terminals, and agents run on a VM or home server. Save battery, gain RAM.
