# Managing a local sequential merge queue for parallel coding agents

Coordinate multiple working branches and run test suites sequentially before merging

- ResultRequest approval to merge to main

When multiple autonomous coding workers develop features in parallel, resource contention and merge conflicts can quickly arise. This workflow queues incoming branch updates, tests each branch in isolation on your workstation, and stages clean merges one by one.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Monitor active working branches produced by coding processes. When a branch is submitted for integration, place it in an execution queue. For each queued item, rebase onto the main branch, run the local test suite in the terminal, and record the output. If tests pass, ask for user confirmation before executing any merge or push commands. If tests fail, notify the user in chat and do not proceed with merging.
