How does the resume feature work?

By using the -r flag with a task ID, the skill locates previous progress in the .claude/output/apex/ directory, restores the state, and continues from the next uncompleted step.

What are parallel agents used for in the Analyze phase?

APEX can launch between 1 and 10 parallel agents to simultaneously search your codebase, research external documentation, and perform web searches to gather context faster than a single agent could.

Can I use APEX on a limited token budget?

Yes, the Economy mode (-e) disables parallel subagents and uses direct tool usage only, which significantly reduces token consumption while maintaining the structured workflow.

What is the APEX methodology?

APEX stands for Analyze, Plan, Execute, and Validate. It is a systematic approach used to ensure that code changes are well-researched, strategically planned, correctly implemented, and thoroughly tested.

Where does the skill store its output?

When save mode is enabled, all task context, analysis findings, implementation plans, and logs are saved to a task-specific folder within .claude/output/apex/ in your project directory.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Automates complex coding tasks using a systematic Analyze-Plan-Execute-Validate methodology with parallel agent intelligence.

The APEX workflow skill is a structured implementation framework for Claude Code designed to handle complex feature requests and bug fixes with high precision. By following the APEX methodology, it guides Claude through a four-stage process—comprehensive analysis with parallel discovery agents, strategic file-by-file planning, todo-driven execution, and thorough self-validation. It features a sophisticated state-saving mechanism that allows users to pause and resume long-running tasks, while utilizing progressive step loading and an optional economy mode to significantly reduce token consumption.
