## Asynchronous Workflow Patterns

### Pattern 1: Long-Running Feature Development

**Scenario:** Implement authentication system (2-hour task)

```markdown
## Web Interface Workflow

1. **Task Creation** (Browser)
   - Navigate to Claude Code for Web
   - Link GitHub repository: github.com/user/project
   - Create task: "Implement Better-Auth authentication with email/password and OAuth"

2. **Async Execution** (Agent)
   Agent reasons in sidebar:
   ├─ Research Better-Auth documentation
   ├─ Install dependencies (pnpm add better-auth)
   ├─ Create auth configuration file
   ├─ Implement API routes
   ├─ Add middleware for protected routes
   ├─ Create login/signup UI components
   └─ Write integration tests

3. **Progress Monitoring** (You)
   - Close browser tab (work continues)
   - Receive browser notification on completion
   - Return hours later, review changes
   - Approve or request revisions

4. **Result**
   - Full authentication system implemented
   - Code committed to feature branch
   - Pull request created automatically
```

### Pattern 2: Multi-Tab Parallel Agents

**Scenario:** Work on frontend and backend simultaneously

```markdown
## Parallel Web Agents

**Tab 1: Backend Agent**
Task: "Build REST API for user management"
Status: In Progress (40% - implementing CRUD endpoints)

**Tab 2: Frontend Agent**
Task: "Create React components for user dashboard"
Status: In Progress (60% - building data table)

**Tab 3: DevOps Agent**
Task: "Set up CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions"
Status: Queued (waiting for API completion)

**Coordination:**

- Backend agent finishes first
- Triggers DevOps agent to start
- Frontend agent continues in parallel
- All changes merged into single PR
```

### Pattern 3: Task Queue Management

**Scenario:** Multiple sequential tasks with dependencies

```markdown
## Sequential Task Queue (Web Interface)

**Queue Structure:**

1. ✅ "Analyze codebase for security vulnerabilities" (Completed)
2. 🔄 "Fix identified SQL injection risks" (In Progress - 30%)
3. ⏳ "Add input validation middleware" (Waiting)
4. ⏳ "Write security tests" (Waiting)
5. ⏳ "Update security documentation" (Waiting)

**Web UI Benefits:**

- Visual task progression
- Reorder queue by drag-and-drop
- Pause/resume individual tasks
- Clone successful task patterns
- Export task history for team review
```

## GitHub Integration

### Direct Repository Linking

**Web Interface Flow:**

```markdown
## Connecting Repository

1. **Authentication**
   - Click "Connect GitHub" in Claude Code for Web
   - OAuth flow to authorize repository access
   - Select repositories to grant access

2. **Repository Selection**
   - Choose active repository from dropdown
   - Agent gains read/write access to codebase
   - Automatic branch detection and switching

3. **Agent Permissions**
   - Read files and directories
   - Create/modify files
   - Commit changes
   - Create pull requests
   - Add comments to PRs
   - Run GitHub Actions (if configured)

4. **Workflow Example**
   User: "Fix the authentication bug in issue #42"

   Agent (in sidebar):
   ├─ Fetch issue details from GitHub API
   ├─ Read referenced files from repository
   ├─ Identify root cause of bug
   ├─ Implement fix and write test
   ├─ Commit to feature branch: fix/auth-issue-42
   ├─ Create pull request
   └─ Link PR to original issue
```

### Cross-Repository Coordination

**Multi-Repo Projects:**

```markdown
## Monorepo Management via Web UI

**Scenario:** Update shared component across 3 repositories

**Agent 1 - Tab 1:** github.com/company/design-system
Task: "Update Button component with new accessibility features"

**Agent 2 - Tab 2:** github.com/company/marketing-site
Task: "Update Button imports to use new design-system version"

**Agent 3 - Tab 3:** github.com/company/dashboard-app
Task: "Update Button imports to use new design-system version"

**Orchestration:**

1. Agent 1 completes design-system changes
2. Publishes new NPM package version
3. Browser notification triggers Agents 2 & 3
4. Both update dependencies in parallel
5. All PRs created and linked for review
```

## Real-Time Reasoning Visualization

### Sidebar Agent Reasoning

**What You See in Browser:**

```markdown
## Agent Reasoning Panel (Right Sidebar)

**Task:** Implement user authentication

**Reasoning Steps:**
[08:30:15] 🔍 Analyzing project structure...
[08:30:22] 📚 Reading package.json dependencies
[08:30:28] ✅ Found existing Better-Auth installation
[08:30:35] 🔧 Creating auth configuration at src/lib/auth.ts
[08:31:02] 📝 Writing API route handler
[08:31:45] 🎨 Generating login UI component
[08:32:10] ⚠️ Question: Use HTTP-only cookies or localStorage?
Waiting for user input...

**User Responds:** "Use HTTP-only cookies for security"

[08:32:30] ✅ Configured HTTP-only cookie sessions
[08:33:15] 🧪 Writing integration tests
[08:34:50] ✅ Task completed - 12 files changed
```

**Interactive Decision Points:**

- Agent pauses for user input when ambiguous
- User provides guidance without stopping workflow
- Agent continues execution with new context

## Web-Native Features

### Browser Notifications

**Use Cases:**

```markdown
## Notification Patterns

**Task Completion:**

## Best Practices

### Async Task Design

**Effective Task Descriptions:**

```markdown
## ✅ Good Async Task

"Implement user authentication system:

- Use Better-Auth library (already installed)
- Email/password + Google OAuth providers
- HTTP-only cookie sessions (7-day expiry)
- Protected route middleware
- Login/signup UI with form validation
- Integration tests for auth flows

Follow project conventions in src/lib/auth.ts and src/app/api/auth/"

**Why it works:**

- Clear scope and deliverables
- Specific technical decisions provided
- References existing code patterns
- Includes testing requirements
- Agent can work autonomously for hours
```

```markdown
## ❌ Poor Async Task

"Add auth to the app"

**Why it fails:**

- Too vague (which auth system?)
- No technical constraints
- Agent will make assumptions
- Likely requires frequent user input
- Not suitable for async execution
```

### Multi-Agent Coordination

**Parallel Agent Strategy:**

```markdown
## Coordinating 3+ Agents

**Rule 1:** Minimize shared file conflicts

- Assign non-overlapping file sets to each agent
- Frontend agent: src/components/
- Backend agent: src/app/api/
- DevOps agent: .github/workflows/

**Rule 2:** Define clear handoff points

- Backend agent completes API → notifies frontend agent
- Frontend agent completes UI → triggers E2E tests
- Tests pass → DevOps agent deploys to staging

**Rule 3:** Use task dependencies

- Web UI: Set "Wait for Task #1 completion" on Task #2
- Automatic triggering when dependencies resolve
- Visual dependency graph in browser
```

### Session Persistence

**Cloud-Synced State:**

```markdown
## Resume Anywhere

**Scenario:** Start on desktop, continue on laptop

1. **Desktop (Morning):**
   - Create task: "Refactor authentication module"
   - Agent works for 1 hour (30% complete)
   - Close browser, go to meeting

2. **Laptop (Afternoon):**
   - Open Claude Code for Web
   - See same task still running (now 60% complete)
   - Agent continued working in cloud
   - Review progress, provide feedback

3. **Mobile (Evening):**
   - Receive notification: Task completed
   - Open mobile browser
   - Review changes, approve PR creation
   - All from phone
```

## Troubleshooting

### Common Web Interface Issues

**Agent Not Starting:**

1. Verify GitHub repository access granted
2. Check browser console for errors (F12)
3. Ensure Claude Code subscription active (Pro/Max)
4. Try incognito mode to rule out extensions

**Task Stuck in "Queued":**

1. Check task dependencies - waiting for another task?
2. Verify no conflicting agent using same files
3. Review agent error logs in sidebar
4. Cancel and recreate task with clearer instructions

**GitHub Integration Failing:**

1. Revoke and re-grant OAuth permissions
2. Check repository visibility (private repos require Max plan)
3. Verify branch protection rules allow agent commits
4. Ensure GitHub Actions enabled if agent triggers workflows

**Browser Notifications Not Appearing:**

1. Grant notification permissions in browser settings
2. Check site settings for claude.com
3. Disable "Do Not Disturb" mode
4. Try different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
