Team
Autonomous feature delivery for Claude Code.
What is Team?
Team orchestrates 13 specialized agents. They range from isolated researchers to adversarial reviewers. Together they drive a feature through an 8-phase pipeline (QRSPI) and deliver a verified pull request.
Agents are decoupled microservices. Each one consumes a predecessor artifact on disk, does its work, and writes its own artifact. The orchestrator is the main Claude Code session. It walks a linear phase table with no mid-run human gates. An adversarial design review gates the design, and the human reviews the finished PR.
The pipeline
WORKTREE → QUESTION → RESEARCH → DESIGN → STRUCTURE → PLAN → IMPLEMENT → PR
| Phase | What happens |
|---|---|
| Worktree | The orchestrator prepares an isolated git worktree first. It authors docs/plans/<id>/ inside that worktree. Your home checkout stays clean for the whole run. |
| Question | Decompose intent into task.md + neutral questions.md. The questioner is the only agent that ever sees your original description. |
| Research (isolated) | Parallel agents (file-finder + researcher) consume only questions.md. They never see the task. This isolation prevents opinion bias. |
| Design (design review) | The design author drafts a ~200-line alignment doc. It resolves its own open questions as recorded assumptions. An adversarial design review gates advancement. |
| Structure | Break the design into vertical slices with verification checkpoints. The document is about two pages. It advances to Plan with no gate. |
| Plan | The planner derives a tactical implementation plan from the structure. The implementer reads it. No gate applies. |
| Implement | Test-first → slice execution → 5 parallel reviewers + typed retry loop. |
| PR | Update changelog, commit, open pull request. |
Install
Team is a Claude Code plugin. Add it to your Claude Code installation:
claude plugin add /path/to/team
Then run a phase end-to-end:
/team Add rate limiting middleware to all API endpoints
For a focused bug fix that skips the QRSPI ceremony:
/team-fix Users see stale cache after profile update
