🐝 Swarm Mode in Claude Code - 10 agents instead of one

Developer Mike Kelly discovered and unveiled a hidden feature-flagged feature in Claude Code called Swarm Mode.

How it works:
- The "team lead" agent coordinates up to 10 teammates
- Each with their own specialization: models, UI, services, build scripts
- They work in parallel - not waiting for each other if the work is independent
- They communicate through an "inbox" - essentially a file where they write and read

In the demo: in 13 minutes they accomplished what one Claude Code would take about an hour and a half to do.

Anthropic has not officially announced the feature yet. But the direction is clear - the future lies in orchestrating AI teams. By the way, the recent announcement of task lists in Claude Code fits well into this theme.

Tokens are flying away quickly - we are waiting for the SUPERMAX tariff.
