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.
