arn-code-execute-plan-teams

A team-based way to carry out a structured coding plan. It assigns implementation, review, and architecture work to cooperating coding agents, with each task checked before moving on.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for large projects where tasks need coordinated implementation, code review, and architecture advice.
Why use it?
It gives complex, multi-stage changes several kinds of review while they are being built.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

arn-code-execute-plan-teams scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

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)

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

arn-code-execute-plan-teams is a skill published in the GitHub repository AppsVortex/arness (33 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 127 tokens to every session and 2,971 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
