AI Agent Teams

Agent teams are the breakout AI coding pattern of 2026, multiple specialized AI subagents working in parallel on different parts of your codebase. Claude Code subagents, Google Antigravity's multi-agent architecture, and Cursor's Composer all support them , and skills-hub.ai is where you install the agent teams themselves.

Short answer: what are agent teams?

Agent teams are compositions of specialized AI subagents working together, typically one implements, one tests, one reviews, one ships. Each subagent has its own context window and tool access. The team runs in parallel where possible. Claude Code, Antigravity 2.0, Cursor, and Windsurf all support agent teams in 2026.

How agent teams work

  1. 1. The team is defined by a composition skill. On skills-hub.ai, compositions are SKILL.md files with a subagents: field listing the child skills. Installing the composition pulls every team member automatically.
  2. 2. Each subagent gets its own context. Subagents don't share a context window, they each load their own SKILL.md instructions and only the relevant code. This keeps context tight even for huge codebases.
  3. 3. The agent team orchestrator runs them. Claude Code, Antigravity, and Cursor each have their own orchestrator that spawns subagents, runs them in parallel where possible, and collects results.
  4. 4. Results compose into a final output. Implement → test → review → ship. The orchestrator pipes one subagent's output into the next, halting early if any step fails its acceptance criteria.

Frequently asked questions about agent teams

What are agent teams in AI coding?

Agent teams are a pattern where multiple specialized AI subagents work in parallel on different parts of a task, one writes code, one writes tests, one reviews, one ships. Each subagent has its own context window, system prompt, and tool access. Claude Code, Antigravity 2.0, and Cursor's Composer all support agent teams in 2026.

What are Claude Code subagents?

Claude Code subagents are isolated, parallel agents that Claude Code can spawn for specific tasks, each with its own context window and tool access. You compose them into pipelines (e.g., implement → test → review → ship) and they run in parallel where possible, dramatically speeding up multi-step workflows.

How do I get started with agent teams?

Install a multi-skill composition from skills-hub.ai (e.g., npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install ship-it). Compositions are pre-built agent teams, they chain individual skills into a multi-step pipeline. Or write your own SKILL.md with a subagents: field listing dependencies.

Are agent teams the same as agent skills?

No. Skills are reusable instruction sets (one SKILL.md = one workflow). Agent teams are compositions of multiple skills running in parallel or sequence. Most agent teams are built from skills, install a composition skill and you get the whole team.

Which AI tools support agent teams?

Claude Code (sub-agents, native), Google Antigravity 2.0 (multi-agent architecture, launched May 19 2026), Cursor (via Composer + agent mode), Windsurf (Cascade flows). All four can pull skills from the skills-hub MCP server to compose teams.

What's the best agent team for shipping a feature?

A typical ship-it pipeline: spec → implement → test → security audit → code review → deploy preflight → ship. Skills-hub bundles like /story (review + implement + PR) and /ship-and-deploy (test + audit + deploy) implement this as installable compositions.

Can agent teams run autonomously?

Yes, especially with Claude Code's scheduled tasks. You can schedule an agent team to run nightly (security audit + dependency update + PR creation) or pre-standup (build + test + summary). The team runs headlessly with full repo access.
