dispatching-subagents
From the author
Chooses how to launch subagents from Claude Code (the Agent tool, a Workflow script, or headless claude -p children) and runs a headless fan-out from one background command. Use for "fan this out to 50 agents", "run these tasks in parallel", "launch subagents for each file", "should I spawn agents or write a workflow", "batch this through Haiku", "run claude -p in parallel", "dispatch a task list without the launches eating my context", or before any launch of more than a handful of subagents, where the launching itself is the cost. Covers the parent-turn cost of each mechanism, concurrency ceilings, what context and tools each child gets, effort control, output contracts, a cost ledger, and resume after interruption.

- workflowethanhq/cc-fleetOrchestrate a MULTI-PHASE, dependent, or resumable run over many cc-fleet PROVIDER subagents from a JS script, off the main context (`cc-fleet workflow`). Use for fan-out→barrier→synthesis, per-item pipelines, loop-until-dry, or a run that must survive a kill and `--resume` from its journal. Trigger ONLY to run a cc-fleet provider workflow. NOT a flat fan-out of independent tasks (that is /cc-fleet:subagent — cheaper, no script); NOT trivial single-shot work; NOT for editing or researching cc-fleet's own workflow code.Productivity★ 185
- alterlab-workflow-orchestrationAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsComposes existing AlterLab skills into multi-agent agentic workflows using current Claude Code orchestration primitives — subagents (including nested subagents), dynamic workflow scripts, agent teams, forks, and the Claude Agent SDK: parallel fan-out, sequential pipelines, judge panels, adversarial verification, and loop-until-clean review cycles. Maps each pattern onto real skills (alterlab-research-pipeline, alterlab-deep-research, alterlab-citation-verifier, alterlab-paper-reviewer, alterlab-peer-review) with copyable delegation prompts, agent-definition frontmatter, workflow-script skeletons, and SDK query() snippets. Use when the request mentions multi-agent, subagents, agent team, dynamic workflow, workflow script, parallel agents, orchestration, pipeline of skills, judge panel, adversarial verification, devil's advocate, loop until clean, chaining skills, or composing skills into a custom workflow. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.Productivity★ 81
- run-agenthoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-MonitorLaunch and supervise Claude Code or Codex through the CCAM Run API. Use when the user wants to start a monitored agent, select a model, approval policy, sandbox, or working directory, send a follow-up, inspect live output, resume a native session, or stop a dashboard-launched run.Engineering★ 1.1K
- rallysimota/agent-skillsOrchestrating multi-session parallel execution via Claude Code Agent Teams API and Codex CLI Subagents — launch, manage, coordinate concurrent tasks. Use when parallel work is needed.Engineering★ 96
- spawn0xDarkMatter/claude-modsGenerate PhD-level expert-agent prompt files (.md) for Claude Code - authoring, not runtime. For spawning parallel RUNTIME workers use fleet-worker/fleetflow (via parallel-ops). Triggers: spawn agent, create agent file, generate expert prompt, new agent persona.Engineering★ 78
- claudedzhng/skillsUse Claude Code as an independent `claude -p` subagent when the user explicitly asks for Claude, wants a second-agent opinion from Claude, or asks to delegate a well-scoped task to Claude. Supports selecting `--model` and thinking/effort level with defaults of the current `opus` alias and `high`.Engineering★ 1.4K
