SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Delegating and coordinating Claude Code subagents across a Task-driven workflow to optimize parallel execution and keep contexts lean.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel subagent orchestration: spawn Planner, Reviewer, Tester, and DevOps subagents using the Task tool for independent tasks.
  • Explicit context handoff: update agent/SCRATCHPAD.md and Track IDs to ensure traceable collaboration.
  • Context isolation: each subagent runs with a fresh context to prevent cross-contamination and improve reliability.

Quick Start

Spawn a Planner subagent to draft a feature spec and save results to agent/SCRATCHPAD.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate Claude subagents to parallelize complex tasks?▼

You can coordinate Claude subagents using the Task tool to spawn Planner, Reviewer, Tester, and DevOps agents for parallel execution. Each subagent runs with a fresh context to prevent cross-contamination and keep contexts lean during complex workflows.

What is context isolation and why does it matter for parallel subagent orchestration?▼

Context isolation means each Claude subagent runs with a fresh context to prevent cross-contamination. This improves reliability and keeps contexts lean when multiple subagents work in parallel across planning, review, testing, and DevOps workflows.

How do I pass context between Claude subagents working in parallel?▼

You pass context between Claude subagents using explicit AGENT.md references, Track IDs, and SCRATCHPAD.md handoffs. This ensures traceable collaboration when multiple subagents execute independent tasks in parallel.

Can I use the Task tool for both planning and DevOps workflows?▼

Yes, the Task tool supports spawning Planner and DevOps subagents alongside Reviewer and Tester agents. This applies to planning, review, testing, and DevOps workflows where multiple subagents can work in parallel with isolated contexts.

Do I need any dependencies to orchestrate Claude subagents in parallel?▼

No dependencies are required. Claude subagent orchestration uses the Task tool directly to spawn agents with explicit context passing via AGENT.md references, Track IDs, and SCRATCHPAD handoffs for traceable parallel collaboration.

How do I start a Planner subagent and save its results?▼

Spawn a Planner subagent using the Task tool to draft a feature spec and save results to agent/SCRATCHPAD.md. This enables explicit context handoff and traceable collaboration with other parallel subagents.
