Agentic Workflow Pattern

A standardized five-stage multi-agent pipeline — research, plan, validate, TDD implement, review — using background agents and file-based handoff.

AutomationAdvanced★ 3,942⑂ 303AI score 5/10Last updated: Jan 26, 2026

What it does

  • Breaks an implementation task into a research → plan → validate → implement → review pipeline, one sub-agent per stage.
  • Enforces run_in_background: true and bans TaskOutput so 70k+ token agent transcripts never flood the main context.
  • Uses file-based handoff: each agent writes to .claude/cache/agents/<stage>/<task>-*.md and the next agent reads that file.
  • Provides progress polling recipes (find ... -mmin -5, output file growth) and stuck-agent detection heuristics.
  • Mandates TDD in the implementation stage: failing tests first, then make them pass.

Who it's for

  • Developers already orchestrating multiple Claude Code sub-agents on sizable features.
  • Anyone whose long sessions blow up the main conversation context.
  • Teams that have (or will create) custom agents named oracle, plan-agent, validate-agent, agentica-agent, review-agent.

Examples

  1. "Add webhook retry logic to the payments module" → oracle writes a research file, plan-agent reads it and drafts a plan, validate-agent audits it, then the implementation agent codes test-first.
  2. Large refactor where you want a lean main thread → only markdown artifacts persist; the main conversation just coordinates.
  3. Suspect a background agent stalled → run find .claude/cache/agents -name "*.md" -mmin -5 to see whether new output appeared.

Try it now, no install

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.

Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3/HEAD/.claude/skills/agentic-workflow/SKILL.md

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
  1. Download the ZIP with the button below.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
  3. Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
↓ Download ZIP
Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the .claude/skills/agentic-workflow folder from the GitHub repo parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 into my ~/.claude/skills/agentic-workflow/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3.git /tmp/cc-v3 && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/cc-v3/.claude/skills/agentic-workflow ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal and move to a scratch directory.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3.git
  3. Create the skills directory: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r Continuous-Claude-v3/.claude/skills/agentic-workflow ~/.claude/skills/
  5. The skill depends on sub-agents named oracle, plan-agent, validate-agent, agentica-agent, review-agent. Copy the repo's .claude/agents/ folder too, or edit SKILL.md to use agent names that exist in your setup.
  6. Optional: pre-create the cache dir with mkdir -p .claude/cache/agents.
  7. Restart Claude Code, then hand it an implementation task and say "follow the agentic-workflow pattern" to activate the pipeline.
