Multi-agent bug - Failed to create Git worktree

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I couldn’t run multi-agent. When I was trying to do that, I got error messages across all the agents:

Failed to create Git worktree: Error executing git: Preparing worktree (detached HEAD bd190a9) fatal: ‘/Users/wli/.cursor/worktrees/api/ZMR40’ already exists , cwd: /Users/wli/projects/api, command: “git worktree add --detach /Users/wli/.cursor/worktrees/api/ZMR40 bd190a91ec52811b14bf7e9cd56e72d3274edf52”

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go into Agents mode.
  2. Select multiple agents.
  3. Enter any prompt.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is for the agents to run successfully.

For AI issues: which model did you use?

Any model will break as long as it’s using the multi-agent capability.

For AI issues: add Request ID with privacy disabled

None. The agents weren’t even kicked off.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue
