AI coding agents are being explored for their potential to enhance development workflows, allowing for both synchronous foreground and asynchronous background tasks. The Zed Agent Panel supports this flexibility by providing tools for co-piloting on local files while enabling parallel work on different parts of a codebase using background agents. However, managing these tasks can be complex, especially when dealing with monorepos and avoiding interference between agents. The solution lies in using Container Use, an open-source project that offers isolated sandbox environments for coding agents by integrating container technology and Git Worktrees for parallel histories. This setup ensures that background agents operate independently, providing a streamlined developer experience (DX). By configuring Zed with Container Use, developers can manage multiple environments and monitor agent progress using a command-line interface (CLI). The approach involves creating custom profiles in Zed, such as foreground and container-use profiles, to prevent conflicts between tasks. This system allows developers to experiment with UI designs in the background while focusing on server logic in the foreground, with notifications for task completion. To facilitate adoption, detailed setup documentation and community support are available, encouraging feedback and collaboration through platforms like the Dagger Discord server.
