Asked Claude Code for a "deep search" in ultracode mode — it spun up ~70 agents across a 4-phase pipeline on its own
Claude Code's "ultracode" mode can autonomously orchestrate complex tasks by spawning numerous agents, as demonstrated when a user requested a "deep search." This process involved approximately 70 agents working across a four-phase pipeline, including discovery, benchmarking, enrichment, and verification. The system manages this by moving the orchestration plan into a script, keeping intermediate results outside the model's context window to prevent information overload and maintain efficiency, though this can significantly increase costs.
