Agent Teams and Super Loops

Super Loops

Super Loops let your coding agent run autonomously across multiple iterations, carrying learnings forward so each loop builds on the last.

How to use:

  1. Start a session in a worktree (or any session)

  2. Click the Super Loop option in the new session menu (the + button)

  3. Give the agent a goal. It will iterate autonomously, tracking progress in a progress.json file

Monitoring progress:

  • The Super Loop panel in the files sidebar shows the current phase, iteration count, learnings, and any blockers

  • Progress snapshots appear inline in the chat transcript

  • If a loop finishes, fails, or gets blocked, use the Force-resume dropdown to restart with 0, 5, 10, or 20 additional iterations

In worktrees: Super Loops automatically add .superloop to .gitignore so progress files stay out of your commits.

Agent Teams

Agent Teams let a single coding agent session spawn teammate agents that work in parallel.

How to use:

  1. Go to Settings > Claude Agent

  2. Enable Agent Teams

  3. Start a session. When the agent decides subtasks can run in parallel, it spawns teammates automatically

  4. Each teammate shows a distinct progress indicator in the transcript

Good to know:

  • Teammate output stays contained -- it does not leak into the main transcript

  • The main session waits for all teammates to finish before completing
