Agent Swarm
A multi-agent collaboration mechanism in Claude Code that enables multiple agent instances to exchange messages directly for discussion and coordination. It is suited to complex development tasks requiring multi-directional communication among agents.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Claude Code's agent teams feature allows teammates to talk to each other directly and share a common task list, solving the communication bottleneck between subagents.
Subagents can only report results unidirectionally and cannot discuss with each other, whereas agent team members can send messages directly to one another.
Agent Teams are disabled by default, require adding an environment variable to enable, and require Claude Code version 2.0.132 or above.
Agent team tasks have three states: Pending, In Progress, and Completed.
