Agent Teams
Arguments
These select a team mode up front instead of toggling it interactively (see Team Lifecycle):
--delegate: start the lead in delegate mode, coordination-only with no direct implementation. Default: the lead can implement.
--plan-approval: require teammates to plan before implementing, read-only until the lead approves. Default: off.
--shutdown: shut the current team down, teammates first and then the team, then stop. Default: create or operate a team.
Team Lifecycle
Describe the task and team structure in natural language. Claude creates the team, spawns teammates, and coordinates work. Delegate mode also toggles interactively with Shift+Tab. Always shut down via the lead: teammates individually, then the team.
Task Management
Tasks: pending, in progress, completed. Tasks can depend on other tasks — blocked tasks unlock automatically when dependencies complete.
- Lead assigns: tell the lead which task to assign
