Prompts — Claude Code Agent Teams

Ready-to-use prompt templates for orchestrating Claude Code Agent Teams (swarm mode) with tmux split panes.

Quick Start

1. Launch Claude Code inside tmux:

tmux new -s claude-team "claude"

2. Copy-paste any template below into Claude Code, replace the [PLACEHOLDERS], and let the agent team do the work.

Templates

Template	Description	Agents
implement-prd.md	Implement a full PRD with parallel agents	3-6
debug-hypotheses.md	Debug with competing hypotheses	2-5
review-pr.md	Multi-angle PR code review	2-5
refactor-codebase.md	Refactor, migrate, or clean up a codebase	2-6
explore-codebase.md	Explore and map an unknown codebase	2-5

Each template comes in multiple variants (simple, advanced, quick) depending on how much control you want.

Orchestration Patterns

These templates leverage 4 orchestration patterns:

• Leader — One coordinator distributes independent subtasks
• Swarm — N similar tasks processed in parallel, no cross-dependencies
• Pipeline — Sequential stages where each depends on the previous
• Watchdog — Parallel work with continuous quality oversight

Prerequisites

• Claude Code with agent teams enabled:

// ~/.claude/settings.json
{
  "env": {
    "CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS": "1"
  }
}

• tmux installed for split-pane mode

Usage Tips

• File ownership: always assign distinct files/directories to each teammate to avoid conflicts
• Plan approval: use (plan approval required) for risky or architectural tasks
• Delegate mode: press Shift+Tab to keep the lead as pure orchestrator
• Right-size: 2-5 teammates is the sweet spot — more agents ≠ faster
• Context: teammates don't inherit conversation history — be explicit in spawn prompts
