Nav Multi

DEPRECATED. Multi-Claude shell orchestration is superseded by native Claude Code Workflows. Auto-invokes on "run multi-agent workflow", "parallel agents for", "multi-claude for", "spawn agents for" to redirect the user to the native Workflow and Agent tools.

nav-multi (DEPRECATED)

Deprecated as of 2026-06 (TASK-25).

Navigator's marker-coordinated, headless claude -p multi-agent scripts are superseded by Claude Code's native orchestration — more reliable, no external scripts, and what this project itself now uses for its own audits and planning:

/workflows — Dynamic Workflows: deterministic multi-phase orchestration (plan → implement → test → review), parallel/pipeline fan-out, structured output, in-session resume. No marker files, no context bloat.
The Agent tool / subagents: parallel independent agents with optional git worktree isolation; can run in the background and report back.

When invoked

Tell the user the multi-Claude scripts are deprecated and point them to the native tools above. Do NOT run navigator-multi-claude*.sh.

Example response:

Multi-Claude shell workflows are deprecated. Use native Claude Code orchestration instead: /workflows for multi-phase work, or the Agent tool for parallel subagents. Both supersede the old marker-file scripts.

History

The scripts (scripts/navigator-multi-claude*.sh, sub-claude-monitor.sh, resume-workflow.sh, multi-claude-dashboard.sh) remain in the repo for reference under a DEPRECATED banner but are unmaintained (~30% success rate). See .agent/tasks/TASK-25-fix-multi-claude-reliability.md for the deprecation rationale and the research that informed it.
