I'm using Claude Code (loving it) and haven't dipped into the agentic parallel worker stuff yet.

Where does one get started?

How do you manage multiple agents working in parallel on a single project? Surely not the same working directory tree, right? Copies? Different branches / PRs?

You can't use your Claude Code login and have to pay API prices, right? How expensive does it get?

Check out Claude Code Team Orchestration [1].

Set an env var and ask to create a team. If you're running in tmux it will take over the session and spawn multiple agents all coordinated through a "manager" agent. Recommend running it sandboxed with skip-dangerous-permissions otherwise it's endless approvals

Churns through tokens extremely quickly, so be mindful of your plan/budget.

git checkout four copies of your repo (repo, repo_2, repo_3, repo_4) within each one open claude code Works pretty well! With the $100 subscription I usually don't get limited in a day. A lot of thinking needs to go into giving it the right context (markdown specs in repo works for us)

Obv, work on things that don't affect each other, otherwise you'll be asking them to look across PRs and that's messy.

Look into git worktrees and thank me later!

Agreed here’s a blog I read where I found out about Claude’s support https://jamesanglin.com/blog/claude-code-worktrees
