build-with-agent-team

build-with-agent-team is a skill for Claude Code from coleam00/context-engineering-intro. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,983 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that coordinates several Claude Code agents working together on a software project through tmux, a terminal tool that can show multiple sessions in split panes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with a plan document to build projects involving separate components such as frontend, backend, database, or infrastructure.
Why use it?
It divides a planned build into independent pieces so multiple agents can work on suitable parts at the same time.

About the project

Context Engineering Template is a repository of instructions, examples, workflows, and validation practices that give AI coding assistants the information they need to complete software tasks. It is for developers working with Claude Code or other coding assistants, and the catalogue entries package parts of its workflow as commands, agents, instructions, and a skill.

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 A, and why

build-with-agent-team scanned grade A 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 10d 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.

Build with Agent Team

You are coordinating a build using Claude Code Agent Teams. Read the plan document, determine the right team structure, spawn teammates, and orchestrate the build.

Arguments

  • Plan path: $ARGUMENTS[0] - Path to a markdown file describing what to build
  • Team size: $ARGUMENTS[1] - Number of agents (optional)

Step 1: Read the Plan

Read the plan document at $ARGUMENTS[0]. Understand:

  • What are we building?
  • What are the major components/layers?
  • What technologies are involved?
  • What are the dependencies between components?

Step 2: Determine Team Structure

If team size is specified ($ARGUMENTS[1]), use that number of agents.

If NOT specified, analyze the plan and determine the optimal team size based on:

  • Number of independent components (frontend, backend, database, infra, etc.)
  • Technology boundaries (different languages/frameworks = different agents)
  • Parallelization potential (what can be built simultaneously?)

Guidelines:

  • 2 agents: Simple projects with clear frontend/backend split
  • 3 agents: Full-stack apps (frontend, backend, database/infra)
  • 4 agents: Complex systems with additional concerns (testing, DevOps, docs)
  • 5+ agents: Large systems with many independent modules

For each agent, define:

  1. Name: Short, descriptive (e.g., "frontend", "backend", "database")
  2. Ownership: What files/directories they own exclusively
  3. Does NOT touch: What's off-limits (prevents conflicts)
  4. Key responsibilities: What they're building

Step 3: Set Up Agent Team

Enable tmux split panes so each agent is visible:

teammateMode: "tmux"

Step 4: Define Contracts

Before spawning agents, the lead reads the plan and defines the integration contracts between layers. This focused upfront work is what enables all agents to spawn in parallel without diverging on interfaces. Agents that build in parallel will diverge on endpoint URLs, response shapes, trailing slashes, and data storage semantics unless they start with agreed-upon contracts.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

build-with-agent-team is a skill published in the GitHub repository coleam00/context-engineering-intro (13,825 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,983 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
