Also known as: ai agent teams, multi-agent, agent swarm

In one sentence

A pattern where multiple specialized AI subagents collaborate on a task, typically implementing, testing, reviewing, and shipping in parallel.

Full definition

Agent teams are the breakout AI coding pattern of 2026. The pattern uses multiple specialized AI subagents working in parallel on different parts of a task, each with its own context window and tool access. A typical ship-it agent team: one subagent writes code, one writes tests, one reviews, one ships the PR. Agent teams are supported natively in Claude Code (sub-agents), Google Antigravity 2.0 (multi-agent architecture), Cursor (via Composer + agent mode), and Windsurf (Cascade flows). On Skills-Hub, agent teams are packaged as composition skills, install one and get the whole pipeline.
