# Planning with Teams Manus-style context engineering for Claude Code Agent Teams. Coordinate multiple Claude instances with shared planning files, structured task assignment, and persistent working memory. ## Prerequisites **Agent Teams must be enabled:** ```bash # In your shell or settings.json CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 ``` Without this, Claude cannot spawn teammates. The skill will fall back to subagent mode (Task tool only). ## Agent Teams Tools When Agent Teams is enabled, you have access to these tools: | Tool | Purpose | |------|---------| | `Teammate` | Spawn a new teammate with a specific role | | `SendMessage` | Send messages between teammates | | `TaskCreate` | Create tasks in the shared task list | | `Task` | Standard subagent (fallback when teams disabled) | **Hooks for quality gates:** - `TeammateIdle` — Runs when a teammate goes idle. Exit with code 2 to send feedback and keep them working. - `TaskCompleted` — Runs when a task is marked complete. Exit with code 2 to prevent completion and send feedback. ## The Core Insight Agent Teams give each teammate their own context window. But without coordination: - Teammates forget the overall goal - Findings get lost between agents - Work gets duplicated or conflicts **Solution:** Apply Manus principles to multi-agent coordination. ``` Single Agent: Context Window = RAM (volatile) Filesystem = Disk (persistent) Agent Team: Each Agent = Separate RAM ...
