​You've set up Claude Code. You've built your first automations. Now it's time to scale.

​Agent Teams is Claude Code's most powerful feature — multiple AI instances working in parallel, sharing task lists, and coordinating directly with each other. Instead of one agent handling everything sequentially, you spin up a team: frontend, backend, QA — each working independently while a team lead orchestrates the whole operation.

​This session is a live, demo-driven deep dive into Agent Teams. We're not talking theory. We're spinning up a real multi-agent team on stage and building a project in parallel — live.

​If you attended our April 9 event (or watched the recording), this is the next step. If you didn't, you can still follow along — but having Claude Code installed will help.

​Join Andrew Stafford for a hands-on look at how to go from "one AI assistant" to "an AI workforce."

​🔍 What we'll cover

​Agent Teams Setup

​The one-line configuration that unlocks multi-agent orchestration. tmux for split-pane visibility. Display modes. Permission management.

​Live Demo: Multi-Agent Build

​We'll spin up a 3-agent team — two builders and a reviewer — and build a real feature in parallel. You'll watch the agents claim tasks, communicate with each other, and coordinate their work in real time.

​Prompt Engineering for Teams

​How to define roles, assign file ownership, set communication protocols, and prevent the #1 failure mode (agents overwriting each other's work).

​Plan-Then-Execute at Scale

​The pattern that makes Agent Teams reliable: every agent drafts a plan, gets approval, then executes. No wasted tokens, no wrong-direction builds.

​When to Use Teams vs Sub-Agents vs Solo

​Agent Teams aren't always the answer. We'll cover the decision framework for choosing the right approach based on your task complexity and budget.

​Token Economics Agent

​Teams use 3-5x the tokens of a single session. We'll break down the real costs and show you how to optimize for value.

​Who should attend?

• ​Developers and engineers who want to go beyond copilot-style autocomplete

• ​Technical professionals curious about agentic AI workflows

• ​Founders and operators looking to understand the productivity shift

• ​Anyone who builds, ships, or manages software and wants to see what's possible now

​Why this matters

​The gap between "AI assistant" and "AI agent" is closing fast. Claude Code doesn't just suggest code — it plans, executes, verifies, and coordinates. Cowork extends that to knowledge work. Dispatch makes it mobile. Tasks make it persistent.

​This isn't a future roadmap talk. These tools are live, shipping, and available today. The question isn't whether agentic workflows will change how you work — it's how fast you'll adopt them.

​Come see what it looks like when you stop chatting with AI and start delegating to it.

​Attendees will receive a comprehensive homework resource guide and access to our AI Workflow Starter Kit for those who want done-for-you templates and video walkthroughs.
