Claude Squad
CLI tool that runs multiple coding-agent sessions in parallel terminal windows. 65,000 GitHub stars at time of source. Spin up five agents on five different tasks instead of waiting on one. Multi-host: works with Claude Code, Codex, Aider, and other coding agents.
What it does
- Launches parallel terminal sessions, each running an independent agent
- Manages task assignment and session lifecycle
- Lets a single user supervise multiple in-flight agents
Position in the multi-agent thread
Sibling to the Claude Code sub-agents system but at a different level: sub-agents are spawned inside a single Claude Code session under a 10-concurrent hard limit. Claude Squad runs independent sessions with no shared parent — closer to “parallel humans at parallel keyboards” than to “one orchestrator with workers.”
Connects to multi-agent-orchestration as the user-facing parallelism primitive, and to the builder-validator chain pattern when each session takes on a different role.
