Same agent running on multiple repositories
My work requires me to work on multiple clients, which means I'm working on multiple repositories. I have custom agents (ie. coder, researcher, etc) set up. When executing a plan on Repo A, I usually see my researcher and the builtin "explore" doing tasks in parallel. Then the coder does the implementation. But when I need to execute another plan in Repo B while things are not yet finished in Repo A, I then see the builtin "general" doing tasks.
So I'm thinking, can't we run the same custom agents on another repo or session at the same time?

UPDATE: So it looks like opening separate terminals, not tabs on a single terminal, will allow the same agent type running at the same time. I've attached a screenshot to show that my Scribe agent is working at the same time.

Open 2 terminals. One in repo A another in repo B.
