Plans, tasks and agents
On a big piece of work, Claude plans, keeps a list of tasks and hands pieces to subagents. This chapter covers how Claudette lets you follow that: the Tasks page with the plan and its versions, the docs Claude writes on claude.ai, and the agent map of what each subagent is doing.
Subagents run inside one session. To spread work over several tabs that you can step into, see Threads.
In this chapter
- The Tasks pageWhen Claude keeps a task list, writes a plan, or writes a doc on claude.ai, a Tasks tool window comes, and the tab shows how far the work has got, such as 2 of 5.
- Claude DocsClaude can write a doc on claude.ai with claude.ai's Claude Docs connector, which comes from your claude.ai account: a task list to work through, a report, notes to keep.
- The agent mapWhen Claude fans work out to several subagents, possibly nested, the conversation shows each as a group (Subagents).
