Claude Code Bootstrap — Standard

Everything a working developer needs: structured development workflows, coding conventions, and Claude Code's native agent teams for parallel work. Spawn specialized teammates that work in parallel — researchers explore, implementers build, reviewers validate — all coordinated through a shared task list and mailbox.

Agent teams is a research preview feature released with Opus 4.6 (February 2026).

Quick Start

chmod +x setup.sh
./setup.sh /path/to/your-project

What This Tier Includes

Agent Teams Configuration

Agent teams are enabled automatically via .claude/settings.json:

{
  "env": {
    "CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS": "1"
  },
  "teammateMode": "auto"
}

This means every team member who clones the project gets agent teams enabled.

Custom Subagent Definitions

Three example agents in .claude/agents/:

Agent	Model	Role	Tools
researcher.md	Opus	Codebase exploration, documentation reading	Read-only
implementer.md	Sonnet	Code writing, test authoring	Full access
reviewer.md	Sonnet	Code review, convention checking	Read-only

Create your own by copying _template.md. Subagents use YAML frontmatter to define name, model, description, and available tools.

Agent Team Development Workflow

A new workflow (.claude/workflows/agent-team-development.md) guides team-based development through five phases:

1. Planning — Break work into parallel tasks (team lead, solo)
2. Research — Researcher explores codebase and reports findings
3. Implementation — Implementers work on independent tasks in parallel
4. Review — Reviewer validates changes against conventions
5. Integration — Team lead merges and runs final tests

New Hooks

Hook	Fires When	Purpose
TeammateIdle	Teammate finishes work	Review output before reassigning
TaskCompleted	Task marked complete	Quality gate — exit code 2 blocks completion

These are pre-configured in .claude/settings.local.json alongside SessionStart, PreToolUse, and Stop.

Delegate Mode

Press Shift+Tab to toggle the team lead into coordination-only mode. The lead can only spawn teammates, send messages, and manage the task list — no direct implementation.

AGENTS.md

Orients any AI agent entering the repo with agent teams context: how teams are configured, available subagent roles, communication patterns, and quality gates.

Setup Steps

1. Run ./setup.sh /path/to/your-project
2. Edit CLAUDE.md — replace [BRACKETED] placeholders with your project details
3. Customize subagent definitions in .claude/agents/ for your team's roles
4. Review hooks in .claude/settings.local.json
5. Start Claude Code: claude
6. Try delegate mode: Shift+Tab

All Custom Commands

Command	Description
/verify-context	Show loaded documentation
/load-module <name>	Load module from .claude/modules/
/load-workflow <name>	Load workflow guide
/audit [quick|full]	Documentation review — reports issues by priority
/team-status	Check agent team status, task list, and mailbox
/define-agent <name>	Create a new custom subagent from template

Agent Teams Quick Reference

Action	How
Enable agent teams	Set CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 (pre-configured)
Toggle delegate mode	Shift+Tab
Navigate teammates (in-process)	Shift+Up / Shift+Down
Change display mode	Set teammateMode in .claude/settings.json
Create custom agent	Copy .claude/agents/_template.md

Display Modes

Mode	Best For	Requirements

tmux	Multiple teammates, visibility	tmux or iTerm2
auto (default)	Let Claude Code decide	None

Optional Add-ons

For CI/CD automation, documentation audit systems, and third-party integrations (Gas Town, Beads), see the extras/ directory.

For structured design sessions (architectural decisions, major feature planning), use cc-atelier.
