Agent Teams

You get a lead that delegates tasks and 2-4 teammates working on non-overlapping files simultaneously, coordinating through shared task lists and file locks. The sweet spot is 3-5 teammates on cross-layer work like building an API endpoint plus UI plus tests in parallel. Beyond five teammates, you spend more time coordinating than you save. The plan approval flow before implementation prevents wasted work, and delegate mode keeps the lead focused on coordination instead of coding. Use worktrees instead if you want to compare competing approaches, or subagents for quick throwaway exploration.
