No Polling for Background Agents
Overview
# No Polling for Background Agents
When launching parallel background agents, do NOT poll with sleep loops.
Pattern
Background agents write to status files when complete. Wait for them naturally.
DO
- Launch agents with
run_in_background: true - Continue with other work while agents run
- Check status file only when user asks or when you need results to proceed
- Trust the agent completion system
DON'T
- Run
sleep 10 && cat status.txtin loops - Continuously poll for completion
- Waste tokens checking status repeatedly
- Block on agents unless absolutely necessary
When to Check Status
- User explicitly asks "are they done?"
- You need agent output to proceed with next task
- Significant time has passed and user is waiting
Example
```typescript
// Launch agents
Task({ ..., run_in_background: true })
Task({ ..., run_in_background: true })
// Continue with other work or conversation
// Agents will write to status file when done
// Only check when needed
cat .claude/cache/status.txt
```
