Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

Agent Teams Composition Skill

You have expertise in composing and orchestrating Claude Code Agent Teams. Use this knowledge when the user's task would benefit from parallel multi-session work.

When to Suggest Agent Teams

Proactively suggest agent teams when:

The user asks for comprehensive code review (suggest 3-reviewer team)
The task involves work across multiple layers (frontend + backend + database)
The user describes a bug with unclear root cause (suggest competing hypothesis investigation)
The user wants to evaluate multiple technologies or approaches (suggest research panel)
The task can be clearly split into independent, file-separated workstreams

Do NOT suggest agent teams when:

The task is sequential or involves same-file edits
A single session or subagent would suffice
The coordination overhead would exceed the benefit
The user is on a tight token budget

Team Templates

Full Review (3 teammates)

Security reviewer + Performance reviewer + Test coverage reviewer. Each reviews independently, then lead synthesizes findings.

Feature Dev (3 teammates)

Architect (plan approval required) + Implementer + Test writer. Architect plans first, implementer follows, test writer validates.

Debug Squad (3-5 teammates)

Each teammate investigates a different hypothesis. Adversarial debate structure -- teammates challenge each other's theories.

Cross-Platform (3 teammates)

iOS developer + Android developer + Shared architect. Each platform teammate owns their own directory. Architect coordinates API contracts.

Full-Stack (3 teammates)

Frontend + Backend + Database. Clear file ownership per layer. Coordinate on API contracts first.

Research Panel (3 teammates)

Simplicity advocate + Performance advocate + Devil's advocate. Each evaluates from a different perspective, then synthesize.

Spawn Prompt Formula

Every spawn prompt should include:

Role: "You are the [role] teammate responsible for [domain]"
Files: "You own files in [directories]. Do not modify files outside your scope."
Focus: "Specifically look for / implement [details]"
Context: "[Project-specific information the teammate needs]"
Deliverable: "Report your findings as [format] / Implement [specific output]"

Cross-Platform Awareness

macOS and Linux: full support (in-process + tmux split panes)
Windows: in-process mode only (automatic with auto setting)
Always use --teammate-mode auto (default) for automatic detection

# Agent Teams Composition Skill

You have expertise in composing and orchestrating Claude Code Agent Teams. Use this knowledge when the user's task would benefit from parallel multi-session work.

## When to Suggest Agent Teams

Proactively suggest agent teams when:

- The user asks for comprehensive code review (suggest 3-reviewer team)
- The task involves work across multiple layers (frontend + backend + database)
- The user describes a bug with unclear root cause (suggest competing hypothesis investigation)
- The user wants to evaluate multiple technologies or approaches (suggest research panel)
- The task can be clearly split into independent, file-separated workstreams

Do NOT suggest agent teams when:

- The task is sequential or involves same-file edits
- A single session or subagent would suffice
- The coordination overhead would exceed the benefit
- The user is on a tight token budget

## Team Templates

### Full Review (3 teammates)

Security reviewer + Performance reviewer + Test coverage reviewer.
Each reviews independently, then lead synthesizes findings.

### Feature Dev (3 teammates)

Architect (plan approval required) + Implementer + Test writer.
Architect plans first, implementer follows, test writer validates.

### Debug Squad (3-5 teammates)

Each teammate investigates a different hypothesis.
Adversarial debate structure -- teammates challenge each other's theories.

### Cross-Platform (3 teammates)

iOS developer + Android developer + Shared architect.
Each platform teammate owns their own directory. Architect coordinates API contracts.

### Full-Stack (3 teammates)

Frontend + Backend + Database.
Clear file ownership per layer. Coordinate on API contracts first.

### Research Panel (3 teammates)

Simplicity advocate + Performance advocate + Devil's advocate.
Each evaluates from a different perspective, then synthesize.

## Spawn Prompt Formula

Every spawn prompt should include:

1. Role: "You are the [role] teammate responsible for [domain]"
2. Files: "You own files in [directories]. Do not modify files outside your scope."
3. Focus: "Specifically look for / implement [details]"
4. Context: "[Project-specific information the teammate needs]"
5. Deliverable: "Report your findings as [format] / Implement [specific output]"

## Cross-Platform Awareness

- macOS and Linux: full support (in-process + tmux split panes)
- Windows: in-process mode only (automatic with auto setting)
- Always use `--teammate-mode auto` (default) for automatic detection

Review the source

Skill source recorded

Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.

Review before install: Avoid automatic install

License: MIT

Dependency or permission surface needs review
Permission surface may require sandboxing
No critical issues found. The skill does not use any tools, commands, or access external resources, so security risk is minimal.
The skill references external documentation files (e.g., ~/.claude/docs/AGENT-TEAMS.md) that are not included in the repository, but this is acceptable as the SKILL.md itself is self-contained enough for basic usage.
Quality score needs review
Permission surface needs review: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution
GitHub adoption: 95 GitHub stars
Stars/forks activity: 95 stars, 23 forks; issue activity unavailable in current metadata
Dependency/runtime risk: credential or environment access, network or browser surface
Permission surface: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Agent access

This page exposes the same decision, trust, audit, use-case, and install signals through the Registry API, so agents can rank this skill without scraping the UI.
