Team Feature

Orchestrate parallel feature development with multiple implementer agents. Decomposes features into work streams with strict file ownership, manages dependencies, and verifies integration.

Pre-flight Checks

1. Verify CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 is set
2. Parse $ARGUMENTS:
   • <feature-description>: description of the feature to build
   • --team-size N: number of implementers (default: 2)
   • --branch: git branch name (default: auto-generated from feature description)
   • --plan-first: decompose and get user approval before spawning

Phase 1: Analysis

1. Analyze the feature description to understand scope
2. Explore the codebase to identify:
   • Files that will need modification
   • Existing patterns and conventions to follow
   • Integration points with existing code
   • Test files that need updates

Phase 2: Decomposition

1. Decompose the feature into work streams:

   • Each stream gets exclusive file ownership (no overlapping files)
   • Define interface contracts between streams
   • Identify dependencies between streams (blockedBy/blocks)
   • Balance workload across streams

2. If --plan-first is set:

   • Present the decomposition to the user:

     ## Feature Decomposition: {feature}
     
     ### Stream 1: {name}
     Owner: implementer-1
     Files: {list}
     Dependencies: none
     
     ### Stream 2: {name}
     Owner: implementer-2
     Files: {list}
     Dependencies: blocked by Stream 1 (needs interface from {file})
     
     ### Integration Contract
     {shared types/interfaces}
     

   • Wait for user approval before proceeding

   • If user requests changes, adjust decomposition

Phase 3: Team Spawn

1. If --branch specified, use Bash to create and checkout the branch:

   git checkout -b {branch-name}
   

2. Use Teammate tool with operation: "spawnTeam", team name: feature-{timestamp}
3. Spawn a team-lead agent to coordinate
4. For each work stream, use Task tool to spawn a team-implementer:
   • name: implementer-{n}
   • subagent_type: "agent-teams:team-implementer"
   • prompt: Include owned files, interface contracts, and implementation requirements

Phase 4: Task Creation

1. Use TaskCreate for each work stream:
   • Subject: "{stream name}"
   • Description: Owned files, requirements, interface contracts, acceptance criteria
2. Use TaskUpdate to set blockedBy relationships for dependent streams
3. Assign tasks to implementers with TaskUpdate (set owner)

Phase 5: Monitor and Coordinate

1. Monitor TaskList for progress
2. As implementers complete tasks:
   • Check for integration issues
   • Unblock dependent tasks
   • Rebalance if needed
3. Handle integration point coordination:
   • When an implementer completes an interface, notify dependent implementers

Phase 6: Integration Verification

After all tasks complete:

1. Use Bash to verify the code compiles/builds: run appropriate build command
2. Use Bash to run tests: run appropriate test command
3. If issues found, create fix tasks and assign to appropriate implementers
4. Report integration status to user

Phase 7: Cleanup

1. Present feature summary:

   ## Feature Complete: {feature}
   
   Files modified: {count}
   Streams completed: {count}/{total}
   Tests: {pass/fail}
   
   Changes are on branch: {branch-name}
   

2. Send shutdown_request to all teammates

3. Call Teammate cleanup
