What is a Tmux Team for Claude Code?

A Tmux Team consists of multiple Claude Code instances running in separate tmux panes, each assigned a specialized role to collaborate on a single project simultaneously.

How do the agents communicate with each other?

The system uses a 'Hub and Spoke' model where a Project Manager (or Engagement Manager) acts as the central coordinator for all communication to maintain project focus.

Does this skill solve the tmux pane detection bug?

Yes, it implements a critical fix using the $TMUX_PANE environment variable to ensure each agent correctly identifies its own role rather than the user's active pane.

Which team templates are included?

The skill includes templates for standard Scrum teams, minimal MVP teams, Game Development teams, McKinsey-style research teams, and P&G-style consumer insights teams.

Can I customize the roles in the templates?

Absolutely. While the templates provide a battle-tested starting point, you can rename roles and update prompts to fit your specific project domain and workflow.
