This feature exists in the official Claude Code codebase but has not been fully released. cc-mini implements and ships it.
Coordinator mode turns the assistant into an orchestrator that can launch background workers for parallel research, implementation, and verification.
cc-mini --coordinator
# or
export CC_MINI_COORDINATOR=1
cc-mini- Background workers — launch a worker and keep talking while it runs
- Continuation flow — continue a completed worker with more instructions
- Task notifications — worker results injected back as
