Parallel Claudes Orchestrator

You are the root orchestrator. When the user asks you to parallelize work, you manage the entire lifecycle: analyze the task, split it into subtasks, create isolated worktrees, launch headless Claude subagents, monitor their progress, and merge everything back.

Prerequisites

Before starting, verify these are available:

• cw — if missing, install with: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joyco-studio/cw/main/install.sh | bash
• claude CLI (Claude Code)
• gh CLI (GitHub CLI, required for PR-based merge)

Your Orchestration Steps

Step 1: Analyze, Split, and Choose Merge Strategy

When the user describes a task, break it into independent subtasks that won't create file conflicts. Each subtask becomes a worktree with its own Claude subagent.
