Anthropic researcher lays out a practical parent-to-subagent Claude graph

An Anthropic researcher explains how to build a working multi-agent graph with Claude.
The architecture is described as a parent agent delegating work to several sub-agents that run in parallel and then roll their results back up. The post also calls out a common failure mode: overbuilt multi-agent systems waste time talking to each other instead of making progress. The practical takeaway is that context protection and clear delegation matter more than adding more agents.
