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
