Agent Teams

A playbook for running multiple Claude Code sessions as a lead-plus-teammates team with shared tasks, messaging, and file locks.

What it does

  • Turns several Claude Code sessions into one lead + multiple teammates working the same codebase in parallel.
  • Explains the shared task list, mailbox messaging, and file-lock claiming that keep teammates from clobbering each other.
  • Gives concrete sizing rules (2, 3–5, >5 teammates), task granularity targets (5–6 tasks per teammate), and good vs. bad decomposition examples.
  • Covers display modes (Shift+Down, tmux/iTerm2 split panes), delegate mode (Shift+Tab), and hooks: TeammateIdle, TaskCreated, TaskCompleted.
  • Includes a decision table for teams vs. subagents vs. worktrees vs. /batch, plus an anti-pattern list.

Who it's for

  • Developers splitting cross-layer work (API, UI, tests) that touches non-overlapping files.
  • Anyone who has juggled several Claude terminals and hit duplicate or conflicting edits.
  • Teams that want the lead to review and approve plans rather than write code.

Examples

  1. Break "add rate limiting" into 4 tasks (middleware, Redis config, tests, API docs) with dependencies and assign across 2 teammates.
  2. Two teammates need the same file — the lock makes one wait while the lead reassigns work.
  3. Fire integration tests automatically from a TaskCompleted hook once every task is done, then commit.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
  1. Download the ZIP with the button below.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
  3. Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.

Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/agent-teams folder from the GitHub repo rohitg00/pro-workflow into my ~/.claude/skills/agent-teams/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/rohitg00/pro-workflow.git /tmp/pro-workflow && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/pro-workflow/skills/agent-teams ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/rohitg00/pro-workflow.git /tmp/pro-workflow
  2. Make sure the skills directory exists: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  3. Copy just this skill: cp -r /tmp/pro-workflow/skills/agent-teams ~/.claude/skills/
  4. Enable the experimental feature: export CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 (add it to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc to persist).
  5. Run claude — the first session becomes the team lead; launch claude again in the same repo to join as a teammate.
  6. Test it by asking: "Use the agent-teams skill to split this work across the team."
