## What it does

\`agent-teams` splits work across agents with fixed roles. `team-lead` decomposes the job and merges results, `team-reviewer` covers one review dimension, `team-debugger` gathers evidence for or against a hypothesis, and `team-implementer` writes code inside strict file ownership boundaries.

Seven slash commands ship with it: `/team-spawn`, `/team-status`, `/team-shutdown`, `/team-review`, `/team-debug`, `/team-feature`, `/team-delegate`. Presets cover review, debug, feature, fullstack, research, security and migration; custom composition is available too. Six skills explain team sizing, task decomposition, parallel debugging and the messaging protocol between agents.

All of it runs on the experimental Agent Teams feature, so you enable it with `CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1`. Teammate display is set in `~/.claude/settings.json` under `teammateMode`: `tmux`, `iterm2` or `in-process`. Keep teams at 2–4 members — coordination overhead grows fast past that. For feature work the author advises `--plan-first` so you approve the decomposition before implementers start.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add wshobson/agents
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install agent-teams@claude-code-workflows
```

## When to use it
- review code in parallel across security, performance and architecture
- trace a bug through competing hypotheses and collected evidence
- split a feature into work streams with file ownership boundaries
- run a security audit over OWASP, auth and dependencies
- migrate a codebase in parallel streams and verify correctness

## Example prompts
- /team-review src/ --reviewers security,performance,architecture
- /team-debug "API returns 500 on POST /users with valid payload" --hypotheses 3
- /team-feature "Add user authentication with OAuth2" --team-size 3 --plan-first

# Agent Teams Plugin

Orchestrate multi-agent teams for parallel code review, hypothesis-driven debugging, and coordinated feature development using Claude Code's experimental [Agent Teams](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-teams) feature.

## Setup

### Prerequisites

1. Enable the experimental Agent Teams feature:

```bash
export CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1
```

2. Configure teammate display mode in your `~/.claude/settings.json`:

```json
{
  "teammateMode": "tmux"
}
```

Available display modes:

- `"tmux"` — Each teammate runs in a tmux pane (recommended)
- `"iterm2"` — Each teammate gets an iTerm2 tab (macOS only)
- `"in-process"` — Teammates run in the same process (default)

### Installation

First, add the marketplace (if you haven't already):

```
/plugin marketplace add wshobson/agents
```

Then install the plugin:

```
/plugin install agent-teams@claude-code-workflows
```
