Wraps the Claude Agent SDK so you can run multiple specialized Claude Code agents from a single MCP client, each with its own model, tools, and system prompt. Exposes five core tools per agent: claude_code for task execution, claude_code_reply for conversation threading, plus timeline, transcript, and report generation for workflow observability. The real draw is running distinct agents side by side (a strict Opus code reviewer with read-only file access, a Sonnet test writer defaulting to TDD, a Haiku instance for cheap quick answers) or building coordinator patterns where one agent orchestrates others as nested MCP tools. Ships with an init wizard and five battle-tested templates including code review teams and tiered model setups. Requires a working Claude CLI installation since the SDK spawns Claude Code processes under the hood.
