FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate multiple agents in Claude Code for parallel code reviews?

Claude Code's TeammateTool enables multi-agent orchestration by letting you create teams, define tasks with dependencies, and manage agent lifecycles to execute divide-and-conquer strategies efficiently.

What are the orchestration patterns available for multi-agent task management?

Multi-agent orchestration supports advanced patterns including parallel specialists, pipeline workflows with dependencies, and self-organizing task queues to handle complex divide-and-conquer strategies.

Can I build pipeline workflows with dependencies using Claude Code's Task system?

Yes, the Task system supports creating pipeline workflows with dependencies, allowing you to define task sequences and manage agent lifecycles for structured multi-agent coordination.

How does inter-agent communication work in a multi-agent swarm?

A self-organizing swarm uses task queues and message flows to let agents dynamically claim and complete work, enabling autonomous divide-and-conquer strategies without a central leader.

Do I need specific dependencies to set up multi-agent orchestration in Claude Code?

No specific dependencies are required to set up multi-agent orchestration in Claude Code, as the Skill relies entirely on the built-in TeammateTool and Task system primitives.
