Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini CLI and other agents that read SKILL.md.
What it does

Split multi-task problems into independent work streams, each handled by a focused agent with only the context it needs. Dramatically faster than sequential investigation when facing unrelated failures across different subsystems. Keeps your own context clean for orchestration while agents work concurrently.

  • Create isolated agent instances per independent problem domain without inheriting session history
  • Investigate multiple failures in parallel—different test files, subsystems, or bugs simultaneously
  • Craft precise instructions and context for each agent to stay focused and prevent scope creep
  • Preserve coordinator context by offloading specialized work to agents with minimal cross-contamination
