arn-code-execute-plan-teams

This skill should be used when the user says "execute plan with teams", "run plan teams", "execute with agent teams", "team execution", "execute plan with agent teams instead of subagents", "teams mode", "agent teams mode", "execute with teams", or wants to execute a structured project plan using Claude Code's experimental Agent Teams feature. Creates a team of executor, reviewer, and architect teammates that collaborate on task implementation with built-in quality gates. Requires the experimental Agent Teams feature to be enabled. For standard subagent-based execution, use arn-code-execute-plan instead.

Quality

Content

77%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

This is a well-crafted, highly actionable skill for orchestrating Claude Code Agent Teams with clear multi-step workflows, explicit validation gates, and comprehensive error handling. Its main weakness is length — the detailed teammate spawn prompt specifications and cost considerations add bulk that could be partially extracted to reference files. The workflow clarity is excellent with proper feedback loops and escalation paths for destructive/complex operations.

Suggestions

Consider extracting the detailed teammate spawn prompt specifications (executor, reviewer, architect) into a reference file like `teammate-prompts.md` to reduce the main skill's length while keeping the overview concise.

Trim the cost considerations section — Claude doesn't need explanations like 'Each teammate is a full Claude Code session with its own context window'; a simple cost multiplier table would suffice.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The skill is reasonably efficient for its complexity but includes some sections that could be tightened — the cost considerations section explains obvious implications, the team composition section repeats context paths across teammates, and some explanatory text (e.g., 'This is an alternative to...') could be trimmed. However, given the genuine complexity of orchestrating agent teams, most content earns its place.

2 / 3

Actionability

The skill provides highly concrete, executable guidance throughout: specific bash commands to check environment variables, exact JSON configuration snippets, precise directory structures, specific task naming conventions (IMPL-N/REVIEW-N), exact tool calls (TaskUpdate, TaskCreate, TaskList), testing command patterns (pytest/jest targeting), and clear verdict logic with specific outcomes. Nearly every instruction is copy-paste actionable.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The workflow is exceptionally well-sequenced across 6 steps with explicit validation checkpoints: environment check before proceeding, project structure verification, task list verification with resume/restart options, structured IMPL->REVIEW pairing with blocking dependencies, monitoring with specific intervention triggers (idle periods, fix loops >2 cycles, deadlocks), and a clear completion procedure. Feedback loops are explicit (needs-fixes -> executor fixes -> re-review -> escalate after 2 iterations).

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The skill references external files appropriately (pattern-refresh.md, INTRODUCTION.md, code-patterns.md, templates) and positions itself clearly in the pipeline. However, the skill itself is quite long (~200+ lines) with detailed teammate spawn prompts that could potentially be extracted to reference files. The bundle has no supporting files provided, and the inline content is dense enough that splitting teammate configuration into separate references would improve navigability.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

This is a strong skill description that excels across all dimensions. It provides extensive trigger phrases, clearly describes what the skill does (team-based plan execution with specific roles), explicitly states when to use it, and carefully distinguishes itself from the related subagent-based execution skill. The only minor concern is that the heavy front-loading of trigger phrases makes it slightly verbose, but this doesn't detract from its effectiveness.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists specific concrete actions: creates a team of executor, reviewer, and architect teammates that collaborate on task implementation with built-in quality gates. Also specifies the prerequisite (experimental Agent Teams feature) and differentiates from the alternative skill.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (creates a team of executor, reviewer, and architect teammates that collaborate on task implementation with quality gates) and 'when' (explicit trigger phrases and conditions listed at the start). Also includes a disambiguation clause pointing to the alternative skill.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Excellent coverage of natural trigger phrases users would say: 'execute plan with teams', 'run plan teams', 'team execution', 'teams mode', 'agent teams mode', 'execute with teams'. These are realistic user phrases with good variation coverage.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Highly distinctive with clear niche around 'agent teams' execution mode. Explicitly differentiates from the standard subagent-based execution skill (arn-code-execute-plan), reducing conflict risk significantly.
