Agent Teams Coordination

Overview

Claude Code Agent Teams enables multiple Claude CLI processes to collaborate on shared work through a filesystem-based coordination protocol. Each teammate runs as an independent claude process in a tmux pane, communicating via JSON files guarded by fcntl locks, with no database, daemon, or network layer.

This skill provides the patterns for orchestrating agent teams effectively.

When To Use

• Parallel implementation across multiple files or modules
• Multi-agent code review (one agent reviews, another implements fixes)
• Large refactoring requiring coordinated changes across subsystems
• Tasks with natural parallelism that benefit from concurrent agents
