Agent Orchestration
Understand subagent dispatch frameworks. Execute linear workflows in a single session to prevent drift, or launch isolated parallel subagents for independent tasks.
Why We Limit Parallel Subagents to Independent Jobs
Prevents Context Fragmentation
Confining subagents to isolated workspaces with narrow target paths keeps prompts small, preventing context-drift and irrelevant tool calls.
Eliminates Stitching Deadlocks
Avoiding shared-state editing locks avoids merge conflicts, keeping the codebase buildable without complex reconciliation engines.
Direct Code Symbol Visibility
A single chronological path for heavy file refactoring keeps all symbols and edits visible to the master thread for simple debugging.
Decoupled Monitoring Metrics
Running subagents asynchronously under thin wrappers lets external observers monitor status codes and audit resources without halting coding pipelines.
Execution Flowchart
Linear Thread Workflow
Linear tasks execute chronologically in one single Claude Code workspace. Keeping operations in sequence prevents context fragmentation, ensures direct code symbol visibility, and matches human pair programming.
