# Agent Teams with Claude Opus 4.8
|
|
|
|
Claude Opus 4.8 made a single agent noticeably stronger. But the real productivity jump comes when this model powers **a whole team of agents** that talk to each other, coordinate, and autonomously carry a task through to the result.
|
|
|
|
Here's what that looks like in practice.
|
|
|
|
## A team of agents instead of just one
|
|
|
|
You assemble a team of several Opus 4.8 agents and assign roles: lead, backend, frontend, reviewer — whatever fits your task. From there they work in parallel, each in their own area.
|
|
|
|
If you're not ready for a full team yet, there's a solo mode with a single agent that manages its own task list. You can grow it into a full team later.
|
|
|
|
## They talk and coordinate
|
|
|
|
This isn't a bunch of independent chats. The agents:
|
|
- message each other inside the team
|
|
- hand off results and ask each other for clarification
|
|
- code-review each other's work
|
|
- create and close tasks on a shared kanban board on their own
|
|
|
|
And here's something you usually don't see anywhere else: **you can run multiple teams at once, and they coordinate between themselves**. Spin up parallel teams for different tracks (say, backend and frontend, or two features at once) — their leads will talk to each other, sync progress, and pass results down the chain.
|
|
|
|
You set the goal at a high level — breakdown, distribution, and execution happen without you.
|
|
|
|
## Everything is visible in the UI
|
|
|
|
In real time:
|
|
- **Kanban** with tasks moving across statuses
|
|
- **Diff viewer** for every task: accept / reject / comment
|
|
- **Agent-to-agent chat** plus direct messages with any of them
|
|
- **Detailed logs** for every agent — what it did, which commands it ran, which decisions it made
|
|
- **Per-task view**: open a card on the kanban and see everything tied to it — code changes, agent conversations, comments, logs. No confusion about what belongs where
|
|
- **Active agent sessions** with open links
|
|
- **Notifications** when the team is done or needs your input
|
|
|
|
## Not just Claude
|
|
|
|
Beyond Opus 4.8, you can plug **Codex** and **OpenCode** agents into the same team _(200+ models, 70+ LLM providers)_. Different runtimes coexist within a single team — pick the strengths of each where they fit best, without locking yourself into one vendor.
|
|
|
|
## Under the hood
|
|
|
|
Local, no cloud, free, open source. It works through the Claude / Codex / OpenCode CLIs you already have installed — no separate app-level API keys required.
