Describes the tmux-based supervisor + executor pattern for running large implementation plans without context window exhaustion. Supervisor watches via tmux capture-pane, can intervene with send-keys if the executor goes off-rails.

Stronger argument than learning: Claude's summaries are lossy. tmux shows wrong file reads, phantom searches, edit drift, TDD violations, context waste, and silent failures that summaries compress away.

Summary
docs/parallel-sessions.md— guide for running a supervisor + executor pattern with tmuxWhat This Solves
Large implementation plans (10+ tasks) exhaust the context window. This pattern runs two Claude sessions:
--dangerously-skip-permissionstmux capture-pane, reviews commits, can intervene withtmux send-keysOrigin
Discovered during a 15-task multi-tenant auth implementation. The supervisor session monitored git commits in real-time while the executor autonomously wrote code, ran tests, and committed — with zero human intervention needed.
