## Definition

A _thread_ is a single agent session carrying a distinct piece of work: the unit of coding-agent activity that a person hands off, orchestrates, and verifies when delegating tasks to coding agents.

In this channel's material on **coding agents in practice**, *threads* come up in the context of running autonomous coding agents — Codex, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork — on real software. The recurring lesson across the practitioners featured is that the human's job shifts from typing code to **planning, orchestrating, and verifying** agent work.[^717e6970-382c-5199-9605-8fa2c37ec1b2@102] A thread is the unit of that orchestration: a distinct agent session carrying one piece of work that a person hands off, monitors, and reviews. Explore how threads fit into a working practice of delegation and verification rather than direct code-writing.[^717e6970-382c-5199-9605-8fa2c37ec1b2@102]
