Here's a trick that makes Claude Code feel like a superpower: it can split itself into multiple copies and work on several things at the same time.
You don't need to manage this. You don't need to understand how it works under the hood. You just describe a task that involves multiple pieces, and Claude figures out whether to work on them one at a time or in parallel.
How It Works (Simple Version)
When you give Claude a task that has independent parts, it can spin up multiple "agents." Think of them as copies of Claude, each handling a piece of the work. When they're all done, the results come back together.
You ask:
Check all five pages on my website and tell me which ones
are missing a page title and which ones have broken links
Claude might check all five pages at the same time instead of going one by one. Same result, much faster.
