Can multiple specialized sub-agents work independently? 2. **Define team objective**: Clear goal requiring coordinated multi-agent execution 3. **Identify members**: Specialized agents with non-overlapping responsibilities 4. **Set boundaries**: Clear ownership and handoff contracts between agents 5. **Configure metadata**: Team metadata and task routing conventions 6. **Plan coordination**: Sequential vs parallel execution patterns 7. **Document rules**: Coordination rules and display mode choices 8. **Evaluation strategy**: How to test team-based workflows (20-50 scenarios) 9. **Run checks**: Environment and config validation 10. **Verify fallbacks**: Limitations and fallback behavior ## Progressive Disclosure ### Best Practices (Anthropic Guidelines) - **Complexity decision framework**: `../implement-claude-extensions/references/decision-framework.md` - **Context management patterns**: `../implement-claude-extensions/references/context-management.md` - **Evaluation strategy**: `../implement-claude-extensions/references/evaluation-strategy.md` ### Team Design - Team setup structure: `references/team-setup.md` - Coordination contracts: `references/team-coordination.md` - Display mode selection: `references/team-display-modes.md` - Team best practices: `references/team-best-practices.md` - Known limitations: `references/team-limitations.md` ### Validation Tools - Team config checker: `scripts/check-team-config.sh` - Environment verifier: `scripts/verify-team-env.sh` ### Templates - Team config example: `assets/templates/team-config-example.json` - Team task example: `assets/templates/team-task-example.md` ## Related Skills - Umbrella routing and component comparison: `../implement-claude-extensions/SKILL.md` - Sub-agent design: `../implement-sub-agents/SKILL.md` ## Sources - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-teams - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sub-agents --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/yu-iskw) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
