Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

A lightweight system using tmux, Markdown-based Feature Designs (FDs), and custom slash commands is described in this article to run 4-8 parallel coding agents. FDs serve as detailed specs of problems, solutions, implementation plans, and verification steps, which agents like Planners, Workers, and PMs use for design, implementation, and backlog management. The system tracks FDs through an 8-stage lifecycle.
