Definition
Running multiple AI agent instances concurrently with assigned roles — coder, researcher, reviewer — coordinated by a human lead, mimicking a small software engineering team’s delegation pattern.
Key Points
- 2026-09: gtg-87001 managed several claude-code instances simultaneously with role specialization for guidance-navigation-control development (2026-09-13-anthropic-threat-report-september-2026-primary)
- Distinct from single-session misuse — enables parallel code generation, research, and review at engineering-team scale
- Raises uplift concerns for both legitimate development and ai-misuse-conventional-weapons
- Related to multiagent-turf-war research but applied adversarially
