Something I'd consider a game-changer would be making it really easy to kick off multiple claude instances to tackle a large researched task and then to view the results and collect them into a final research document.

IME no matter how well I prompt, a single claude/codex will never get a successful implementation of a significant feature single-shot. However, what does work is having 5 Claudes try it, reading the code and cherry picking the diff segments I like into one franken-spec I give to a final claude instance with essentially just "please implement something like this"

It's super manual nd annoying with git work-trees for me, but sounds like your setup could make it slick

Interesting. So, do you just start multiple instances of Claude Code and ask the same prompt on all of them? Manually cherry picking from 5 different worktrees sounds complicated. Will see what I can do :)
Yeah, exactly, same prompt.

I agree, it's more complex. But, I feel like the potential with a claude code wrapper is precisely in enabling workflows that are a pain to self-implement but nonetheless are incredibly powerful
