The parallel security squad approach solves something real - sequential reviews miss the cross-domain issues (auth bypass that's only visible when you look at both the database policy and the API layer simultaneously).
What I'd add: the agent orchestration pattern here works because the sub-tasks are largely independent. When they're not - when agent A's output changes agent B's scope - you need explicit handoff logic. That's where agent teams get complicated fast.

Been running multi-agent setups for other tasks: https://thoughts.jock.pl/p/building-ai-agent-night-shifts-ep1
How do you handle mid-review scope changes? Does the security reviewer re-run, or do you flag for manual followup?
‘The true beauty of this approach is that it scales with your codebase. As you add new features, your Agent Team expands its coverage.’
this is definitely a huge selling point imo. great read :)
Running parallel security agents is smart, beats one sequential pass every time. Anthropic took this thinking further with Claude Code Security. It's a structured pipeline that scans, self-verifies, and suggests patches. They ran it against well-fuzzed OSS code and it found 500+ high-severity vulnerabilities that everything else missed. Wrote it up here: https://reading.sh/anthropic-pointed-ai-at-well-reviewed-code-it-found-500-bugs-971a01f75c96?sk=20c0af35eed2d0cd7d6b62ddc066bc84
