-
-Agent Teams migration guide, architecture reference, and troubleshooting for Claude Code's native multi-agent coordination.
-
----
-
-## Overview
-
-AgileFlow supports Claude Code's native Agent Teams for coordinating multiple specialized agents. This system runs alongside the existing subagent model:
-
-- **Agent Teams ENABLED**: Teammates run as independent sessions with shared task lists and file-locking
-- **Agent Teams DISABLED**: Orchestrator subagent model continues to work identically
-
-Both modes produce the same results through different mechanisms. Choose based on your environment and use case.
-
----
-
-## Quick Start
-
-### Check if Agent Teams is Available
-
-```bash
-node -e "console.log(JSON.stringify({ agentTeams: !!process.env.CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS }))"
-```
-
-### Enable Agent Teams
-
-```bash
-export CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1
-```
-
-Or add to `.env`:
-```
-CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1
-```
-
-### Start a Team
-
-```
-/agileflow:team:start fullstack
-```
-
-View available templates:
-```
-/agileflow:team:list
-```
-
----
-
-## Available Team Templates
-
-| Template | Lead | Teammates | Best For |
-|----------|------|-----------|----------|
-| **fullstack** | team-lead | api, ui, testing | Full-stack feature development with integrated testing |
-| **code-review** | team-lead | code-reviewer, security, performance | Comprehensive code review and quality gates |
-| **builder-validator** | team-lead | api+api-validator, ui+ui-validator | Paired builders and validators for each domain |
-| **logic-audit** | logic-consensus | 4 logic analyzers | Deep analysis of complex logic with multiple perspectives |
-
-Each template defines:
-- Team composition (lead + teammates)
-- Quality gates (tests, lint, types, coverage)
-- Task synchronization rules
-- Fallback behavior when Agent Teams is disabled
-
----
-
-## Architecture
-
-### Dual-Mode System
-
-**Native Agent Teams Mode (Enabled)**:
-```
-Team Lead (delegate mode, in this session)
-├─ Teammate A (independent session, file-locked)
-├─ Teammate B (independent session, file-locked)
-├─ Teammate C (independent session, file-locked)
-└─ Shared task list (native .claude/tasks/)
-```
-
-**Orchestrator Subagent Mode (Disabled)**:
-```
-Orchestrator (in this session)
-├─ Task → Expert A (within context, /babysit)
-├─ Task → Expert B (within context, /babysit)
-├─ Task → Expert C (within context, /babysit)
-└─ AgileFlow bus messaging (docs/09-agents/bus/log.jsonl)
-```
-
-### Quality Gate Hooks
-
-Two hooks enforce quality standards:
-
-**1. TeammateIdle Hook** (`scripts/teammate-idle-gate.js`)
-- Runs when a teammate finishes work
-- Exit code semantics:
-  - `0` = Allow teammate to go idle
-  - `2` = Block idle (display quality gate failures)
-- Checks: Tests, linting, type checking, code coverage
-- Configuration: Via `/agileflow:configure → Infrastructure → Quality Gates`
-
-**2. TaskCompleted Hook** (`scripts/task-completed-gate.js`)
-- Runs when a builder marks a task complete
-- Exit code semantics:
-  - `0` = Allow task completion
-  - `2` = Block until validator approves
-- Checks: Validator approval, test coverage threshold
-- Configuration: Via `/agileflow:configure → Infrastructure → Quality Gates`
-
-### Task Synchronization
-
-Tasks are bidirectionally synchronized:
-
-| System | Location | Purpose | Owner |
-|--------|----------|---------|-------|
-| **Native Task List** | `~/.claude/tasks/` | Source of truth for teammates | Claude Code |
-| **AgileFlow Status** | `docs/09-agents/status.json` | Persistent project state | AgileFlow |
-
-**Sync Direction**:
-1. Native task list (write-through) - teammates read/write here
-2. AgileFlow status.json - synced after each operation
-3. On team cleanup - final states reconcile back to status.json
-
-**Lock Semantics**:
-- While task is in `~/.claude/tasks/`, file is locked (teammate exclusive)
-- After teammate finishes, lock released and task syncs to status.json
-- Status.json remains source of truth for historical record
-
-### Messaging Bridge
-
-The messaging bridge (`scripts/messaging-bridge.js`) translates between:
-- **AgileFlow bus** (`docs/09-agents/bus/log.jsonl`) - internal messaging
-- **Claude Code inter-agent messaging** - native teammate communication
-
-All messages flow through both systems for full observability.
-
-**Supported message types**:
-- Task assignments
-- Status updates
-- Quality gate results
-- Teammate idle notifications
-- Error reports
-
----
-
-## Migration: From Subagent to Agent Teams
-
-### When to Migrate
-
-**Migrate to Agent Teams if**:
-- You want completely independent teammate sessions (better isolation)
-- You prefer Claude Code's native task UI over AgileFlow's internal bus
-- You need file-locking (prevent concurrent modifications)
-- Your teammates are long-running (avoid context accumulation)
-
-**Stay with Subagent mode if**:
-- Agent Teams is not available in your Claude Code version
-- You prefer the orchestrator controlling all tasks directly
-- You want to keep everything within a single Claude Code session
-- You prefer AgileFlow's existing messaging model
-
-### Migration Steps
-
-#### Step 1: Set Environment Variable
-
-```bash
-export CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1
-```
-
-Verify it's set:
-```bash
-echo $CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS
-```
-
-#### Step 2: Load Feature Flags
-
-AgileFlow auto-detects Agent Teams availability:
-
-```bash
-node -e "const ff = require('./.agileflow/lib/feature-flags'); console.log(ff.isAgentTeamsEnabled())"
-```
-
-#### Step 3: Update Team Commands
-
-Your existing `/agileflow:team:*` commands automatically use Agent Teams when enabled.
-
-Check your current mode:
-```
-/agileflow:team:status
-```
-
-Should show:
-```
-Agent Teams Mode: ENABLED (native Claude Code Agent Teams)
-Available templates: fullstack, code-review, builder-validator, logic-audit
-```
-
-#### Step 4: Test with a Team
-
-Start with the smallest template first:
-
-```
-/agileflow:team:start code-review
-```
-
-This spawns just 3 teammates (reviewer, security, performance) for minimal complexity.
-
-#### Step 5: Monitor Quality Gates
-
-During the test run, observe:
-- Teammates spawning correctly
-- Tasks appearing in `~/.claude/tasks/`
-- Quality gates running after each teammate's work
-- Final status syncing back to `docs/09-agents/status.json`
-
-#### Step 6: Gradual Rollout
-
-Once verified, migrate to larger templates:
-```
-/agileflow:team:start builder-validator   # 2 builders + 2 validators
-/agileflow:team:start fullstack           # API + UI + Testing
-```
-
----
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Quality Gates Configuration
-
-Access via: `/agileflow:configure → Infrastructure → Quality Gates`
-
-**Available gates**:
-- `tests`: Require all tests to pass before teammate goes idle (required/optional)
-- `lint`: Require linting to pass (required/optional)
-- `types`: Require TypeScript type checking to pass (required/optional)
-- `coverage`: Require minimum code coverage percentage (e.g., 80%)
-
-**Example configuration** (in `.agileflow/config.yaml`):
-```yaml
-quality_gates:
-  teammate_idle:
-    tests: required
-    lint: required
-    types: optional
-    coverage: 75
-  task_completed:
-    validator_approval: required
-    test_coverage: 80
-```
-
-### Custom Team Templates
-
-Create new templates in `.agileflow/teams/<name>.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "my-custom-team",
-  "description": "Custom team for my project",
-  "lead": "team-lead",
-  "delegate_mode": true,
-  "teammates": [
-    {
-      "agent": "agileflow-api",
-      "role": "Backend Developer",
-      "domain": "backend",
-      "skills": ["REST API", "Database Design"]
-    },
-    {
-      "agent": "agileflow-ui",
-      "role": "Frontend Developer",
-      "domain": "frontend",
-      "skills": ["React", "Tailwind CSS"]
-    }
-  ],
-  "quality_gates": ["tests", "lint", "types"],
-  "task_dependencies": {
-    "api-build": ["ui-build"],
-    "testing": ["api-build", "ui-build"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Template schema**:
-- `name`: Template identifier (used in `/agileflow:team:start`)
-- `description`: Human-readable description
-- `lead`: Team lead agent ID
-- `delegate_mode`: Whether lead operates in delegate mode (default: true)
-- `teammates`: Array of teammate definitions
-  - `agent`: Agent ID (e.g., agileflow-api, agileflow-ui)
-  - `role`: Human-readable role
-  - `domain`: Domain area (backend, frontend, testing, etc.)
-  - `skills`: Array of skills/specialties
-- `quality_gates`: Which gates apply to this team
-- `task_dependencies`: Optional task ordering constraints
-

-
-## Fallback Behavior
-
-When Agent Teams is **NOT** enabled:
-
-| Command | Behavior |
-|---------|----------|
-| `/agileflow:team:start <template>` | Falls back to orchestrator with warning |
-| `/agileflow:team:status` | Shows "DISABLED (using orchestrator subagent mode)" |
-| `/agileflow:team:list` | Lists available templates but with fallback notice |
-| Quality gates | Still run via ralph-loop Stop hook |
-
-**Example fallback output**:
-```
-⚠️  Agent Teams is not enabled
-    Using orchestrator subagent model for team coordination
-
-To enable native Agent Teams:
-  export CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1
-
-Falling back to /babysit orchestrator mode...
-```
-
-The orchestrator then uses the existing `/babysit` workflow to coordinate agents internally.
-
----
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Team Won't Start
-
-**Problem**: `/agileflow:team:start fullstack` fails or shows "no templates found"
-
-**Solutions**:
-1. Verify Agent Teams is enabled:
-   ```bash
-   echo $CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS
-   ```
-   Should output: `1`
-
-2. Check templates are installed:
-   ```bash
-   ls -la .agileflow/teams/
-   ```
-   Should show: `fullstack.json`, `code-review.json`, etc.
-
-3. Verify feature flags module is accessible:
-   ```bash
-   node -e "const ff = require('./.agileflow/lib/feature-flags'); console.log('OK')"
-   ```
-
-4. If still failing, fall back to subagent mode:
-   ```
-   /agileflow:babysit
-   ```
-
-### Quality Gate Blocks Work
-
-**Problem**: Teammate gets blocked with "Quality gates failed"
-
-**Solutions**:
-1. Check which gate failed:
-   ```bash
-   cat docs/09-agents/session-state.json | jq '.quality_gate_results'
-   ```
-
-2. Run the failing gate manually to debug:
-   ```bash
-   node scripts/teammate-idle-gate.js --verbose
-   ```
-
-3. Fix the issue (e.g., run tests, fix lint errors):
-   ```bash
-   npm test
-   npm run lint:fix
-   ```
-
-4. Teammate will automatically resume once gates pass
-
-5. Temporarily disable a gate for debugging:
-   ```
-   /agileflow:configure → Infrastructure → Quality Gates
-   ```
-   Set problematic gate to `optional`
-
-### Tasks Not Syncing
-
-**Problem**: Tasks in `~/.claude/tasks/` don't appear in `status.json`
-
-**Solutions**:
-1. Check task sync status:
-   ```bash
-   node scripts/lib/task-sync.js status
-   ```
-
-2. Manually sync tasks:
-   ```bash
-   node scripts/lib/task-sync.js sync
-   ```
-
-3. Verify `status.json` exists and is readable:
-   ```bash
-   ls -la docs/09-agents/status.json
-   ```
-
-4. Check for sync errors:
-   ```bash
-   cat docs/09-agents/session-state.json | jq '.sync_errors'
-   ```
-
-5. If corrupted, reset status.json:
-   ```bash
-   git checkout docs/09-agents/status.json
-   node scripts/lib/task-sync.js sync
-   ```
-
-### Messaging Bridge Not Working
-
-**Problem**: Messages don't appear in `docs/09-agents/bus/log.jsonl`
-
-**Solutions**:
-1. Check bridge status:
-   ```bash
-   node scripts/messaging-bridge.js status
-   ```
-
-2. Read recent messages:
-   ```bash
-   node scripts/messaging-bridge.js read --limit=10
-   ```
-
-3. Test bridge manually:
-   ```bash
-   node scripts/messaging-bridge.js send --message="Test message" --source="debugging"
-   ```
-
-4. Check bus file permissions:
-   ```bash
-   ls -la docs/09-agents/bus/log.jsonl
-   ```
-   Should be readable/writable by all
-
-5. If bridge is stuck, restart it:
-   ```
-   /agileflow:team:stop
-   /agileflow:team:status
-   /agileflow:team:start fullstack
-   ```
-
-### Teammate Sessions Crash
-
-**Problem**: A teammate session dies unexpectedly
-
-**Solutions**:
-1. Check teammate logs:
-   ```bash
-   ls -la ~/.claude/sessions/
-   ```
-   Each teammate has a session directory with logs
-
-2. View teammate error log:
-   ```bash
-   cat ~/.claude/sessions/teammate-api/error.log
-   ```
-
-3. Check if it's a resource issue:
-   ```bash
-   top
-   ps aux | grep node
-   ```
-
-4. Restart the team:
-   ```
-   /agileflow:team:stop
-   /agileflow:team:start fullstack
-   ```
-
-5. If persistent, fall back to subagent mode:
-   ```
-   /agileflow:babysit
-   ```

-## Performance & Optimization
-
-### When to Use Each Mode
-
-**Agent Teams (Native)**:
-- ✅ Long-running tasks (avoid context bloat)
-- ✅ Large codebases (file-locking prevents conflicts)
-- ✅ Parallel work (teammates run independently)
-- ✅ External integrations (native task UI)
-- ❌ Very short sessions (overhead not justified)
-- ❌ When Agent Teams not available
-
-**Subagent Orchestrator**:
-- ✅ Short bursts of work (fast startup)
-- ✅ Simple teams (< 3 teammates)
-- ✅ When Agent Teams not available
-- ✅ Debugging (everything in one session)
-- ❌ Long-running projects (context accumulates)
-- ❌ Parallel work (sequential only)
-
-### Context Management
-
-**Agent Teams**:
-- Each teammate has its own context (independent)
-- Context grows only within each teammate's session
-- Completed tasks don't accumulate in context
-
-**Subagent Mode**:
-- All teammates' context in orchestrator's session
-- Context grows linearly with each task
-- Risk of compaction ("PreCompact" hook runs frequently)
-
-### Monitoring Performance
-
-Check session metrics:
-
-```bash
-cat docs/09-agents/session-state.json | jq '.metrics'
-```
-
-Key metrics:
-- `session_duration_seconds`: How long team is running
-- `tasks_completed`: Total tasks done
-- `tasks_per_second`: Throughput
-- `average_task_time_seconds`: Performance per task
-- `context_tokens_used`: Token consumption
-- `quality_gates_blocks`: How many times gates blocked
-
----
-
-## Related Commands
-
-- `/agileflow:team:start` - Start a team from a template
-- `/agileflow:team:list` - List available templates
-- `/agileflow:team:status` - Show current team status
-- `/agileflow:team:stop` - Stop running team
-- `/agileflow:babysit` - Subagent orchestrator mode (fallback)
-- `/agileflow:configure` - Manage quality gates and hooks
-- `/agileflow:status` - Show story status (works with both modes)
-
----
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Start Small
-
-Test with the `code-review` template (3 teammates) before scaling to `fullstack` (4 teammates).
-
-### 2. Monitor Quality Gates
-
-Quality gates prevent bugs but can block progress. Balance:
-- **Strict**: Catch all issues, but slow development
-- **Lenient**: Fast, but miss quality issues
-- **Recommended**: tests (required), lint (optional), types (optional), coverage (70%)
-
-### 3. Use Task Dependencies
-
-For complex teams, define task ordering in templates:
-```json
-"task_dependencies": {
-  "api-build": [],
-  "ui-build": [],
-  "testing": ["api-build", "ui-build"]
-}
-```
-
-This prevents testing from starting until both API and UI are ready.
-
-### 4. Backup Status Before Large Runs
-
-Before starting a big team initiative:
-```bash
-cp docs/09-agents/status.json docs/09-agents/status.json.backup
-```
-
-If anything goes wrong, restore:
-```bash
-mv docs/09-agents/status.json.backup docs/09-agents/status.json
-```
-
-### 5. Document Custom Templates
-
-If you create custom templates, document them:
-```json
-{
-  "name": "my-custom-team",
-  "description": "Built for [reason]. Teammates: [list]. Testing priority: [yes/no]"
-}
-```
-
-### 6. Regular Audits
-
-Weekly, check:
-- Quality gate statistics
-- Which gates block most often
-- Adjust gate strictness accordingly

-
-> This diagram shows how Agent Teams mode (top) uses independent sessions with file-locking and native task lists, while disabled mode (bottom) uses the orchestrator with subagents in shared context. Quality gates run in both modes. A messaging bridge translates between native and AgileFlow messaging.

-
-## FAQ
-
-**Q: Can I switch between modes mid-session?**
-A: No. Set the environment variable before starting your team. To switch, stop the team, set the env var, and start a new team.
-
-**Q: Do my existing stories work with Agent Teams?**
-A: Yes. Stories in `status.json` are automatically synced with native tasks. Both modes read/write the same `status.json`.
-
-**Q: What if a teammate crashes?**
-A: The team continues, but that teammate's task gets re-assigned. If critical, use `/agileflow:team:stop` and restart.
-
-**Q: How do quality gates prevent bad code?**
-A: Gates run before teammates go idle. If tests fail, the gate blocks idle (exit code 2), and teammate must fix the issue.
-
-**Q: Can I use custom agents in teams?**
-A: Yes. Create a custom template in `.agileflow/teams/<name>.json` and reference your custom agent in the `teammates` array.
-
-**Q: Is there a cost difference between modes?**
-A: Agent Teams spawns more Claude Code instances (more API calls) but provides better isolation. Subagent mode uses one session but accumulates context.
-
-**Q: How do I know if my code has bugs?**
-A: Quality gates catch many issues (tests, lint, types, coverage). But for logic bugs, use the `logic-audit` template which spawns 4 logic analyzers.
