Advanced workflows

Subagents, MCP servers, worktrees and parallel tasks.

๐Ÿ“– Key ideas

  1. Subagents handle focused side tasks like searching a big codebase.
  2. MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers connect agents to tools like databases, issue trackers and docs.
  3. Git worktrees let several agent sessions work on separate branches at once.
  4. Custom slash commands or skills package repeated workflows.
  5. Cloud agents can work on tasks in the background and open pull requests.
๐Ÿ’ก 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.
