Can I control which models the teammates use?

Yes, you can specify the model for the entire team or individual teammates (e.g., using Sonnet for all) via natural language prompts when starting the team.

How do agent teams differ from standard subagents?

While subagents report results back to a single caller, Agent Teams are fully independent, can message each other directly, and coordinate via a shared task list for complex, long-running work.

Do I need special software to run agent teams?

To view teammates in split panes, you need tmux or iTerm2. However, the skill also supports an 'in-process' mode that works in any standard terminal by cycling through agents.

Can teammates work on the same file?

It is recommended that each teammate owns different files or modules to avoid merge conflicts, though they can use the mailbox system to coordinate on shared dependencies.

How many agents should I have in a team?

Best practices suggest starting with 3-5 teammates. This balances the benefits of parallelism with the coordination overhead and token costs associated with multiple instances.

Orchestrates multiple Claude Code instances to work in parallel with shared task management and inter-agent communication.

Claude Code Agent Teams allows you to scale engineering productivity by spawning multiple independent Claude sessions that coordinate as a unified team. Unlike simple subagents, these teammates can message each other directly, claim items from a shared task list, and work on different layers of a project—such as frontend, backend, and testing—simultaneously. This skill is perfect for complex tasks requiring diverse perspectives, such as architectural research, multi-module refactoring, or parallel debugging of competing hypotheses.
