Claude Code now supports Agent Teams: a lead session coordinates multiple teammate sessions with shared task lists, direct messaging, and parallel work. It's like running a company staffed entirely by AI — you just sit back and watch the quarterly report.

Anthropic rolled out Claude Code's Agent Teams feature (aka Swarm Mode) silently with Opus 4.6. This article tests how to enable it, terminal support, the differences from standard Subagents, and the real running costs of this multi-agent system.

Last article covered the Opus 4.6 + Agent Teams announcement. This time we're doing a deep dive into the official docs — when to use Agent Teams, when NOT to use them, how they differ from subagents, setup instructions, and known limitations.

Anthropic released Opus 4.6 with Claude Code Agent Teams: a lead agent can delegate to multiple teammates working in parallel — researching, debugging, and building simultaneously. Boris Cherny says: it's powerful, but it burns tokens like crazy.
