Coding Agent

Overview

Run coding agents (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, or others) as background processes for programmatic task delegation. Spawn sub-agents to handle well-scoped tasks, monitor their progress, and collect results. Useful for parallel task execution, complex multi-step workflows, and automated coding pipelines.

Instructions

When a user asks you to delegate work to a coding agent or run one in the background, follow this process:

Step 1: Verify the agent CLI is available

Check which coding agent CLIs are installed:

# Check for Claude Code
claude --version 2>/dev/null && echo "claude available" || echo "claude not found"

# Check for Codex CLI
