What problem does it solve?
This Skill removes the bottleneck of single-threaded agent work by letting you spawn, monitor, and communicate with persistent Claude Code sessions that keep running after the current conversation moves on.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Background Execution: Start long-running tasks without blocking your active session.
- Parallel Workflows: Run multiple research or analysis sessions at the same time with separate context windows.
- Session Control: Check status, read output, send follow-up instructions, and stop sessions when they are done.
- Use Case: Ask one session to research a topic, another to audit code, and a third to draft notes, then review their outputs when each finishes.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to set up Instar if needed, then spawn a persistent background session for your task and tell it how you want the results reported back.
