Advanced workflows
Subagents, MCP servers, worktrees and parallel tasks.
๐ Key ideas
- Subagents handle focused side tasks like searching a big codebase.
- MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers connect agents to tools like databases, issue trackers and docs.
- Git worktrees let several agent sessions work on separate branches at once.
- Custom slash commands or skills package repeated workflows.
- Cloud agents can work on tasks in the background and open pull requests.
๐ก Real-life example: Like a project lead with a team: send one person to research, another to fix tests, and review all their work together.
