SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill clarifies the architecture and operational flow of the Orchestrated Parallel Claude (OPC) system, explaining how it extends Claude Code through hooks, skills, and scripts for agent coordination.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture Overview: Explains OPC's components (hooks, skills, scripts, database) and their roles.
  • Agent Workflow: Details how new Claude Code instances are spawned as child processes for agent tasks.
  • Coordination Mechanism: Describes how state is managed across instances using files and a PostgreSQL database.
  • Use Case: A developer new to the Continuous Claude project can use this Skill to quickly grasp how agents are managed and how inter-process communication is handled.

Quick Start

Explain the core concept of OPC architecture.

FAQPage Schema
How does agent orchestration work with Claude Code?

Agent orchestration in Claude Code works by spawning separate Claude Code subprocesses as child agents managed via a coordination database and hooks for inter-process communication.

How do I coordinate multiple Claude Code instances in parallel?

You coordinate multiple Claude Code instances by using scripts and a PostgreSQL database to manage state across spawned child processes functioning as independent agents.

What is the Orchestrated Parallel Claude system?

The Orchestrated Parallel Claude (OPC) system is an architecture that extends Claude Code using hooks, skills, and scripts to enable parallel agent coordination without replacing the core CLI.

Does OPC replace the standard Claude Code interface?

No, OPC does not replace standard Claude Code but rather enhances it by spawning new instances as child processes to handle agent tasks in parallel.

How is state managed across parallel Claude Code agents?

State across parallel Claude Code agents is managed using files and a PostgreSQL database to handle inter-process communication and coordinate the orchestrated subprocesses.

Can I use hooks and scripts to extend Claude Code for agent tasks?

Yes, you can use hooks and scripts to extend Claude Code by spawning separate Claude Code subprocesses and managing them through a coordination database for parallel agent tasks.
