 their own work and do not stop each other. Use `--switch` only if you mean to

+### Counting agents
+
+An hour of agentic work is an hour times however many engines ran in it, so an
+entry carries an agent count:
+
+```sh
+timer start acme refactor auth --agents 4
+timer add acme code review --duration 45m --agents 2

+(`$100/hour/agent/upto:4`), and ignores it when the rate is flat. It defaults to
+1, so you can ignore the whole idea until you need it.
+
+`start` is also spelled `on` and `stop` is also spelled `off`, so muscle memory
+from other timers works.
