Agent-Orchestration

Claude Code agents write code fast. Too fast to catch quality issues in real-time. Here’s how to build validation directly into agent workflows using hooks and team coordination - micro validation after every file write, macro validation before completion, and independent review from validator agents.

Naive parallel agents step on each other. The scout-and-wave pattern solves this by front-loading dependency mapping: one throwaway agent identifies seams and builds a living coordination artifact before any implementation begins. Development then proceeds in waves, each consuming and updating the artifact for the next.
