Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

nav-multi (DEPRECATED)

**Deprecated as of 2026-06 (TASK-25).**

Navigator's marker-coordinated, headless `claude -p` multi-agent scripts are superseded by Claude Code's **native orchestration** — more reliable, no external scripts, and what this project itself now uses for its own audits and planning:

  • **`/workflows` — Dynamic Workflows**: deterministic multi-phase orchestration

(plan → implement → test → review), parallel/pipeline fan-out, structured output, in-session resume. No marker files, no context bloat.

  • **The Agent tool / subagents**: parallel independent agents with optional git

worktree isolation; can run in the background and report back.

When invoked

Tell the user the multi-Claude scripts are deprecated and point them to the native tools above. **Do NOT run** `navigator-multi-claude*.sh`.

Example response:

> Multi-Claude shell workflows are deprecated. Use native Claude Code > orchestration instead: `/workflows` for multi-phase work, or the Agent tool > for parallel subagents. Both supersede the old marker-file scripts.

History

The scripts (`scripts/navigator-multi-claude*.sh`, `sub-claude-monitor.sh`, `resume-workflow.sh`, `multi-claude-dashboard.sh`) remain in the repo for reference under a `DEPRECATED` banner but are unmaintained (~30% success rate). See `.agent/tasks/TASK-25-fix-multi-claude-reliability.md` for the deprecation rationale and the research that informed it.
