Story

Claude Code runs an undocumented internal swarm where the top-level agent silently spawns specialized subagents for distinct domains rather than operating as a single sequential context. Practitioners who understand the internal split can write CLAUDE.md and skills that cooperate with the swarm topology. paddo.dev
