🤖🤖🤖 Agent Teams have appeared in Claude Code - swarms of agents.
Now, instead of launching a single agent, you can deploy an entire team. One lead agent coordinates the work, while the others operate in parallel and communicate directly with each other.
When this is useful:
- Research: multiple agents explore different aspects of a problem simultaneously
- Debugging: each agent tests its hypothesis in parallel
- New features: each agent owns its module
- Code review: one looks at security, another at performance, and a third at tests
The difference from subagents: there, workers only return results to the main agent. In Teams, agents communicate with each other, argue, and challenge each other's conclusions.
This functionality was available before but hidden - enthusiasts found it. Now it's officially available for everyone.
Currently experimental and consumes a lot of tokens. It can be enabled through settings.json.
