As someone who writes code with Claude Code, I've noticed a key challenge in the Agent era:
How much you can produce depends on how much you can parallelize
To switch between projects faster, I found a tool called zoxide and used it to build a "terminal quick launcher."
Open terminal, reach any folder in 1 second.
See It in Action
Step one: I type z writing, and it jumps straight into the writing folder.
Step two: I can then enter the Claude Code launch command.
One keyword, jump right there. For running multiple projects in parallel with an Agent, this is critical.
Before, with Cursor-type products, you had to open a folder, dig around, select it, then open it.
If you're juggling five or six projects at once?
Absolutely maddening.
Boris's Parallel Work Method
Claude Code developer Boris often shares how he handles dev tasks on Twitter.
He uses git worktree to run 3–5 sessions in parallel simultaneously.
Honestly, I didn't get it at first. But I was always eager to figure it out!
What is git worktree? Way too complex for non-coders.
Later I saw Baoyu's translation, where he described a simpler method: just copy multiple folders.
project-1, project-2, project-3... — use whichever is free, then merge back to the main folder when done.
That clicked immediately. No need to learn git worktree. Copy and paste works fine.
The New Paradigm: Terminal as Core
Then I noticed something interesting:
Traditional development is file-centric, with terminal as a support tool.
Because humans need to frequently read the code.
VS Code is built this way — file as the unit.
But in the Agent era, it's reversed: terminal is core, files are support.
Humans mostly review results, not read files.
For simple tasks, just open a terminal and run — no IDE needed.
- Before = open desktop, dig through folders one by one, click in, then open
- Now = remember a keyword, one step and you're there
Installation Steps
Step 1: Download
Copy this prompt and send it to Claude:
Create a new folder for the user and download the GitHub content from: https://github.com/Ceeon/zoxide-skills
Step 2: Install
Use the /zoxide-install command to install the plugin.
Step 3: Manage Directories
To add a path, use /zoxide-manage.
After installation, a mapping table will be generated in the Skills folder.
That's the lookup table inside.
Step 4: Start Using
From then on, the command is:
z keyword # jump to directory
For example:
z writing
It jumps straight to the writing directory.
My Practice
I'm currently using a coding tool called Wave.
Direct N × N windows.
It feels like my brain can't keep up with the AI.
But the efficiency is incredible.
In the Agent era, the speed at which you switch projects determines your output ceiling.
