Agentic Coding 10: Delegation & Orchestration

Stop directing a single worker and start staffing the job like a project manager. This lesson teaches you how to spawn and coordinate multiple Claude sub-agents — setting agent count, model tier, batch size, and rate-limit caps in plain English — so you can tackle jobs bigger than any single context window.

Where you'll use it

• Reviewing a large codebase across many files simultaneously
• Classifying thousands of records cheaply then synthesizing results with a premium model
• Running a rate-capped long swarm that finishes without hitting usage limits
• Forcing a single coherent pass when internal consistency matters more than speed
