Understand Agent Teams

Pure Claude Code — no external systems.

Official docs: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-teams

What's Here

• Two coordination patterns: Direct messaging vs Indirect via shared files
• Metacog Shell: 4-agent stack with peer-to-peer messaging, write-then-send protocol, static meta-observer
• World of Skillcraft: Separate Claude Code instances coordinating through game.json
• Lead as coordinator, NOT relay
• Compounding via skill persistence across runs
