What it does

Run An Agent Team is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Design a small team of AI agents to tackle a complex task in parallel — who does what, how they hand off, and how to keep them coordinated — instead of one overloaded agent doing everything serially. Use when asked how do I use multiple AI agents, set up an agent team, orchestrate agents for, or run agents in parallel.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Multi-agent orchestration, Backend development and LLM guardrails. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked how do I use multiple AI agents
  • Set up an agent team
  • Orchestrate agents for
  • Run agents in parallel

Example prompts

  • “/run-an-agent-team”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check it needs a team. Not every task does — if it's simple or highly sequential with shared context, one agent is better. Use a team when…
  2. Decompose into roles. Break the task into focused responsibilities, each an agent — a researcher, a builder, a critic, an integrator — so…
  3. Isolate context deliberately. The power of a team is clean, separate context per agent — decide what each needs and what to keep apart, so…
  4. Choose the coordination pattern. Parallel (independent then combine), sequential (hand-offs), or a mix — and define exactly how outputs…
  5. Add a review pass. A separate critic/integrator step catches errors and combines the work — don't trust unreviewed parallel output.
  6. Guardrail it. Clear objectives, defined output formats, iteration limits, and a human checkpoint keep the team from drifting or looping.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Run An Agent Team loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 162 tokens; SKILL.md has 638 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~162
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Design a small team of AI agents to tackle a complex task in parallel — who does what, how they hand off, and how to keep them coordinated — instead of one overloaded agent doing everything serially. Use when asked how do I use multiple AI agents, set up an agent team, orchestrate agents for, or run agents in parallel. Produces a decomposition of the task into agent roles, a coordination pattern (parallel vs sequential, how outputs combine), the context each agent needs (and what to keep isolated), a review/quality step, and the guardrails to keep it from going off the rails — practical multi-agent design for real tasks.

Run an Agent Team

Complex tasks overwhelm a single AI agent — the context gets muddy, quality drops, and it does everything serially. A small team of specialized agents, each with a focused role and clean context, can tackle it in parallel and check each other's work. This designs that team for your task: the roles, how they coordinate and hand off, what context each needs (and what to isolate), and the guardrails — turning "one agent doing everything" into a coordinated effort.

What This Skill Produces

  • The task decomposition — the task broken into distinct agent roles, each with a focused responsibility (researcher, drafter, critic, integrator, etc.)
  • A coordination pattern — whether agents run in parallel or sequence, how their outputs combine, and where the hand-offs are
  • Context design — what each agent needs to know, and (crucially) what to keep isolated so one agent's context doesn't muddy another's (the key to why teams beat one agent)
  • A review/quality step — a separate agent or pass to critique and integrate, so quality is checked, not assumed
  • Guardrails — how to keep the team on track (clear objectives, defined outputs, a human checkpoint) and avoid runaway loops or drift
  • A right-sized recommendation — including when a single agent is genuinely better (not everything needs a team)

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The task — the complex thing you want a team to tackle
  • Your setup — the AI tool/framework you're using (Claude Code sub-agents, an agent framework, or manual multi-chat)
  • The subtasks — the natural pieces, if you can see them
  • Quality bar & stakes — how much the output matters (drives the review rigor)
  • Constraints — cost, time, and how much human oversight you want

Framework: Decompose, Isolate, Coordinate, Review

  1. Check it needs a team. Not every task does — if it's simple or highly sequential with shared context, one agent is better. Use a team when parts are genuinely parallel or benefit from distinct, isolated perspectives.
  2. Decompose into roles. Break the task into focused responsibilities, each an agent — a researcher, a builder, a critic, an integrator — so each has one clear job.
  3. Isolate context deliberately. The power of a team is clean, separate context per agent — decide what each needs and what to keep apart, so perspectives stay distinct and context stays sharp.
  4. Choose the coordination pattern. Parallel (independent then combine), sequential (hand-offs), or a mix — and define exactly how outputs pass between agents and merge.
  5. Add a review pass. A separate critic/integrator step catches errors and combines the work — don't trust unreviewed parallel output.
  6. Guardrail it. Clear objectives, defined output formats, iteration limits, and a human checkpoint keep the team from drifting or looping.

Output Format

Agent team: task [x] · setup [y]

Needs a team? [yes — parts are parallel/benefit from isolation / no — one agent is better because Z]. Roles

AgentResponsibilityContext it needs / isolate
[researcher]
[builder]
[critic]
[integrator]

Coordination: [parallel / sequential / mix] — outputs combine by [how]. Review pass: [critic/integrator checks & merges]. Guardrails: clear objectives · defined outputs · iteration limit · human checkpoint.

Quality Checks

  • Checks whether a team is actually warranted (vs one agent)
  • Decomposes into focused agent roles
  • Deliberately designs isolated vs shared context (the key advantage)
  • Defines the coordination pattern and how outputs combine
  • Includes a review/integration pass
  • Adds guardrails against drift and runaway loops

Anti-Patterns

  • Using a team for a task one agent handles better.
  • Agents with muddy, shared context (loses the whole advantage).
  • No review pass — trusting unchecked parallel output.
  • Vague roles that overlap and conflict.
  • Missing guardrails — runaway loops or drift with no human checkpoint.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "How do I use multiple AI agents to build this?"
  • "Set up an agent team to research and write this report."
  • "Orchestrate several agents for this complex task."
  • "Should this be one agent or a team, and how do I structure it?"
  • "Design a parallel agent workflow for this."
