description: Parallelize work via six patterns: built-in agents (Engineer/Architect/Algorithm/Explore/Plan via Task), worktree-isolated agents (conflict-free parallel file edits), background agents (run_in_background: true, non-blocking), custom agents (ComposeAgent via Agents skill → Task general-purpose), agent teams (TeamCreate + TaskCreate + SendMessage for multi-turn peer coordination), and parallel task dispatch (N identical operations). Two-tier delegation: lightweight (haiku, max_turns=3, one-shot extraction/classification) vs full (multi-step, tool use, iteration). Decision rule — agents need to talk to each other or share state → Teams; independent one-shot work → Subagents. Auto-invoked by Algorithm when 3+ independent workstreams exist at Extended+ effort.
