Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Orchestrate multiple Claude Code agents working together on complex tasks. Agents coordinate through a shared task list, message each other directly, and work in parallel on independent scopes.
β Use for parallel independent work: Multi-lens code reviews (security, performance, tests in parallel) Debugging with competing hypotheses (test theories simultaneously) Full-stack features (frontend/backend/tests by separate specialists) Architecture decisions (adversarial debate produces stronger ADRs) Cross-domain investigations (bottleneck analysis across systems) Data-parallel work (inventory classification, bulk refactoring) β Don't use for: Sequential work with tight dependencies Same-file edits (conflict risk) Simple tasks (coordination overhead > benefit) Learning/exploration (single agent with full context is better) Rule of thumb: Teams multiply token cost 3-4x. Use only when parallelization benefit exceeds coordination overhead.
Environment variable: export CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 Or settings file (~/.claude/settings.json): { "env": { "CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS": "1" } }
./scripts/validate-setup.sh Checks for: env var set, claude CLI available, tmux installed (optional).

claude --pty # Paste spawn prompt from template Monitor with ./scripts/team-monitor.sh (separate terminal) or Ctrl+T (in Claude Code).
Clear file boundaries - Each teammate owns different files/directories (prevents conflicts) Use delegate mode - Lead coordinates, teammates implement (include in spawn prompt) Size tasks appropriately - 5-6 self-contained tasks per teammate Wait for completion - Don't let lead merge results while teammates are mid-task Start with research - Spawn researchers before builders to establish shared understanding
Agent teams multiply token usage 3-4x vs single session. Each teammate has its own context window. Optimize with: Model mixing - Opus for lead (strategic), Sonnet for teammates (tactical) = ~40% savings Minimize broadcasts - Direct messages only (broadcasts copy to all teammates) Right-size teams - 3 teammates usually optimal; 6+ only for highly parallel work See references/cost-management.md for detailed strategies.
Teammates not spawning? Verify CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 is set Restart Claude Code after setting env var File conflicts? Define explicit file boundaries in spawn prompt (directory-level ownership) Lead implementing instead of coordinating? Add "Use delegate mode: coordinate but don't implement" to spawn prompt Or press Shift+Tab to cycle into delegate mode See references/troubleshooting.md for full list.
Monitor progress: ./scripts/team-monitor.sh Cleanup (graceful shutdown): ./scripts/team-cleanup.sh
In-process (default) - All teammates in main terminal Shift+Up/Down - Select teammate Ctrl+T - Toggle task list Escape - Interrupt teammate Split-pane (requires tmux or iTerm2) - Each teammate gets own pane Set teammateMode: "tmux" in ~/.claude/settings.json
