**Background Agent**: Delegate standalone tasks to agents running in parallel on separate branches while staying focused on main work. GTD-style collection of todos, spawn agents for clear standalone tasks. **Orchestrator**: Dedicated agent monitoring background work, integrating changes, resolving conflicts, running tests. Focused agent in feedback loop specialized for integration. These patterns work together to enable parallel work streams without blocking main thread. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Add two complementary patterns for parallel agent workflows:
Description
Background Agent
Enables spawning parallel agents for standalone tasks while staying focused on main work:
Orchestrator
Specialized agent that autonomously handles integration work:
Combines Focused Agent (narrow scope) + Feedback Loop (autonomous monitoring).
These patterns work together: Background agents produce isolated changes, orchestrator integrates them, enabling parallel work streams without blocking main thread.
