team

You can coordinate parallel work by orchestrating a temporary agent team in tmux panes. This allows the main agent to delegate independent subtasks to teammates, managing up to five agents simultaneously while keeping user interaction focused.

Use agent orchestration when a user task can be divided into independent subtasks across files or concerns. It is ideal for workloads that can safely run in parallel, requiring clear ownership, backlog handling, and finish criteria to avoid conflicts.

Yes, tmux supports managing a team of agents by utilizing separate panes for each teammate. This setup enables simultaneous file processing and parallel task execution without conflicts through enforced ownership and backlogs.

The maximum number of agents you can run in a tmux agent team is five, including the main agent. This limit ensures manageable coordination of TeamCreate, TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, and SendMessage operations across the panes.

Teammate agents communicate and update task status using SendMessage and TaskUpdate operations. The main agent coordinates these operations while enforcing ownership and clear completion criteria to ensure smooth integration of parallel work.

Limitations include a maximum of five agents and the necessity for subtasks to be independent across files or concerns. Tasks requiring shared state or sequential dependencies are not suitable for this parallel tmux approach.
