How to make a Claude Code orchestrator less chaotic
A Claude Code that manages other agents can become messy if it only relies on the model’s default judgment. Each needs a mission document that says what it should do, how it should do it, and when it should ask a person for help.
For a bug-report workflow, the can check email for , create a local ticket, send a child agent to reproduce and fix the bug, and alert the maker when the work is ready for QA. This lets the person stay out of the process until the review step.
The also needs a loop, because a one-time run is closer to a script than a continuing helper. Re-reading the mission document every 10 minutes or every hour gives it a steady rhythm for checking what needs to happen next.
Key points
- An manages other agents instead of doing every task itself.
- A mission document should define the job, the process, and when to escalate.
- A bug workflow can move from email, to ticket, to re and fix, to QA alert.
- Without a loop, the behaves more like a one-shot script.
- A timed loop helps the keep checking its mission and continue work.
