Claude Code can act as a manager and architect, delegating all code implementation to Gemini CLI. Claude reads context, plans atomic steps, issues delegation commands via --yolo, and verifies Gemini's output using read and grep tools, reducing back-and-forth in multi-file projects.

Use manager mode when implementing features entirely through Gemini under Claude's guidance—for example, adding JWT login with full verification. This workflow speeds delivery by separating planning and verification from implementation, ideal for complex multi-file refactors and feature rollouts.

Claude Code reviews Gemini's output using read, grep, and glob tools to inspect generated files, then requests fixes and iterates until requirements are met. This verification loop ensures security checks and code quality without Claude writing the implementation itself.

Standard Claude Code reads, writes, and verifies code directly. Manager mode enforces a non-writing policy for Claude—it plans, delegates via --yolo to Gemini, and verifies output. This separation reduces context switching and lets Gemini handle all implementation deterministically.

Yes. Manager mode supports features, fixes, and refactors in multi-file projects. Claude breaks the task into deterministic steps, delegates to Gemini with explicit commands and constraints, and verifies each change before moving forward.
