Claude Code in the desktop app seems to do this? It's crazy to watch. It sets of these huge swarms of worker readers under master task headings, that go off and explore the code base and compile huge reports and todo lists, then another system behind the scenes seems to be compiling everything to large master schemas/plans. I create helper files and then have a devops chat, a front end chat, an architecture chat and a security chat, and once each it done it's work it automatically writes to a log and the others pick up the log (it seems to have a system reminder process build in that can push updates from other chats into other chats. It's really wild to watch it work, and it's very intuitive and fun to use. I've not tried CLI claude code only claude code in the desktop app, but desktop app sftp to a droplet with ssh for it to use the terminal is a very very interesting experience, it can seem to just go for hours building, fixing, checking it's own work, loading it's work in the browser, doing more work etc all on it's own - it's how I built this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46724896 in 3 days.

That’s just spawning multiple parallel explore agents instructed to look at different things, and then compiling results

That’s a pretty basic functionality in Claude code

Sounds like I should probably switch to claude code cli. Thanks for the info. :)

		I added tests to an old project a few days ago. I spent a while to carefully spec everything out, and there was a lot of tedious work. Aiming for 70% coverage meant that a few thousand unit tests were needed. I wrote up a technical plan with Claude code and I was about to set it to work when I thought, hang on, this would be very easy to split into separate work, let's try this subagent thing. So I asked Claude to split it up into non- overlapping pieces and send out as many agents as it could to work on each piece. I expected 3 or 4. It sent out 26 subagents. Drudge work that I estimate would have optimistically taken me several months was done in about 20 minutes. Crazy. Of course it still did take me a couple of days to go through everything and feel confident that the tests were doing their job properly. Asking Claude to review separate sections carefully helped a lot there too. I'm pretty confident that the tests I ended up with were as good as what I would have written.

Sounds very similar to oh-my-opencode.
