Arness Execute Plan Teams

Execute a structured project plan using Claude Code's experimental Agent Teams feature. Creates a coordinated team of executor, reviewer, and architect teammates that work together on task implementation. Each task goes through an implement->review->gate cycle within the team.

Pipeline position:

arn-code-taskify -> **arn-code-execute-plan-teams** (team: execute -> review -> architect consult -> gate) -> arn-code-review-implementation

This is an alternative to arn-code-execute-plan (subagent-based). Use this when:

• You want tighter executor<->reviewer collaboration (direct messaging between teammates)
• You want an on-call architect for architectural questions during implementation
• You're working on a complex multi-phase project where quality gates matter most
• You accept 3-7x higher token usage for better coordination

Prerequisites

If no ## Arness section exists in the project's CLAUDE.md, inform the user: "Arness is not configured for this project yet. Run /arn-implementing to get started — it will set everything up automatically." Do not proceed without it. Task list must exist (run /arn-code-taskify first).

Workflow

Step 1: Check Agent Teams Availability

Run via Bash: echo $CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS

If the variable is not set, is empty, or is set to "0" or "false": Inform the user: "This skill requires Claude Code's experimental Agent Teams feature."

Provide setup instructions:

• Add to ~/.claude/settings.json under "env":

  "CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS": "1"
  

• Or set the environment variable before running Claude Code:

  CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 claude
  

Suggest the alternative: "You can use arn-code-execute-plan instead, which uses subagents and doesn't require Agent Teams."

If enabled: proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Load Configuration and Verify Project

1. Read the project's CLAUDE.md and extract the ## Arness section to find:
   • Plans directory -- base path where project plans are saved
   • Code patterns -- path to the directory containing stored pattern documentation
   • Template path -- path to the report template set (JSON templates)
   • Template version -- plugin version the templates were copied from (if present)
   • Template updates -- user preference: ask, auto, or manual (if present)
   • Specs directory -- path to the directory containing specification files (if present)
