claude-code-agent-teams

claude-code-agent-teams is a skill for Claude Code from dwmkerr/claude-toolkit. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,244 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A way to coordinate multiple Claude Code sessions as an agent team, with shared tasks, messages, and central management.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for parallel research, feature work, debugging competing explanations, and coordinating frontend, backend, and test work.
Why use it?
It lets separate sessions investigate or implement different parts of work in parallel when the tasks are independent.

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

claude-code-agent-teams scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 8d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Claude Code Agent Teams

Coordinate multiple Claude Code instances working together as a team with shared tasks, inter-agent messaging, and centralized management.

Quick Reference

See Agent Teams Guide for the complete reference including use case examples, architecture details, and troubleshooting.

Prerequisites

Agent teams are experimental and disabled by default. Enable them:

// settings.json
{
  "env": {
    "CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS": "1"
  }
}

When to Use Agent Teams

Best for tasks where parallel exploration adds value:

Use Case Why Teams Help
Research and review Multiple angles investigated simultaneously
New modules or features Each teammate owns a separate piece
Debugging competing hypotheses Test different theories in parallel
Cross-layer coordination Frontend, backend, tests each owned by a teammate

Don't use teams for: sequential tasks, same-file edits, or work with many dependencies. Use a single session or subagents instead.

Agent Teams vs Subagents

Subagents Agent Teams
Context Results return to caller Fully independent
Communication Report back only Message each other directly
Coordination Main agent manages all work Shared task list, self-coordination
Best for Focused tasks where only the result matters Complex work requiring discussion
Token cost Lower Higher (each teammate is a separate instance)

Use subagents for quick focused workers. Use agent teams when teammates need to share findings, challenge each other, and coordinate independently.

Starting a Team

Tell Claude to create a team in natural language:

I'm designing a CLI tool that helps developers track TODO comments across
their codebase. Create an agent team to explore this from different angles: one
teammate on UX, one on technical architecture, one playing devil's advocate.

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.
