Summary
In this chapter, you learned how to use Claude Code within the desktop application, switch between Local worktree and cloud modes, and run multiple coding agents in parallel. You saw how Git Worktrees isolate feature development, how background agents operate in the cloud, and how independently developed branches can be merged, tested, and consolidated into a single working code base. You also explored how the same workflow extends to mobile, where all execution happens in the cloud.
This information is useful because it demonstrates how to move from sequential development to orchestrated, multi-agent workflows. By understanding how to manage parallel branches, coordinate local and remote agents, and safely merge their outputs, you can significantly increase development throughput while maintaining control over your code base.
In the next chapter, we examine deep agents and their role in long-horizon task execution. We define the characteristics of deep agents and analyze the...
