How do task dependencies work for agent teams?

Tasks can be linked so that 'blocked' tasks cannot be started until their 'pending' dependencies are marked as completed, ensuring agents work in the correct logical order.

What is Delegate Mode in team coordination?

Delegate Mode is a state where the lead agent focuses exclusively on coordination and task management, preventing it from writing code itself and ensuring all implementation is handled by specialized teammates.

What is the difference between a Plan Approval and a User Feedback Gate?

A Plan Approval is a teammate asking the lead agent for permission to start work, while a User Feedback Gate is the lead agent asking the user for direction before the team commits to an expensive phase.

How should I shut down an active agent team?

The lead should batch shutdown requests to all teammates simultaneously. Teammates must approve immediately unless they are in the middle of writing a file, after which the lead calls TeamDelete.

Collaboration Tools

Manages multi-agent AI teams using structured task lifecycles, communication protocols, and delegated orchestration.

The Team Coordination skill provides a comprehensive framework for orchestrating complex agent teams within Claude Code. It implements standardized patterns for task dependency management, plan approval workflows, and specialized communication modes like 'Delegate Mode,' which separates high-level orchestration from code implementation. By utilizing features like User Feedback Gates and graceful shutdown protocols, this skill ensures that multi-agent projects remain efficient, aligned with user requirements, and free from coordination overhead.
