Claude Code Launches Multi-Agent System for Parallel AI-Driven Coding
Anthropic's Claude Code now includes a production-ready multi-agent coordination system that allows developers to orchestrate multiple AI agents working simultaneously within a single terminal session. The system is built around a core abstraction called AgentTool, which supports five agent types: sync subagents, async agents, fork subagents, teammates, and remote agents. Each pattern is designed for different coordination needs, from sequential task dependency to fully parallel background execution across isolated git worktrees. Async agents enable concurrent workflows — such as simultaneously implementing an endpoint, writing tests, and updating documentation — without blocking the parent process. An experimental 'agent teams' feature is also available, extending coordination capabilities further for complex, multi-step development tasks.
