Claude Code Agent Teams Workshop | AICHR

This event is capped at 500 attendees. Register now to secure your spot.

You've set up Claude Code. You've built your first automations. Now it's time to scale.
Agent Teams is Claude Code's most powerful feature — multiple AI instances working in parallel, sharing task lists, and coordinating directly with each other. Instead of one agent handling everything sequentially, you spin up a team: frontend, backend, QA — each working independently while a team lead orchestrates the whole operation.
This session is a live, demo-driven deep dive into Agent Teams. We're not talking theory. We're spinning up a real multi-agent team on stage and building a project in parallel — live.
If you attended our April 9 event (or watched the recording), this is the next step. If you didn't, you can still follow along — but having Claude Code installed will help.
Join Andrew Stafford for a hands-on look at how to go from "one AI assistant" to "an AI workforce."

🔍 What We'll Cover

Agent Teams Setup The one-line configuration that unlocks multi-agent orchestration. tmux for split-pane visibility. Display modes. Permission management.

Live Demo: Multi-Agent Build We'll spin up a 3-agent team — two builders and a reviewer — and build a real feature in parallel. You'll watch the agents claim tasks, communicate with each other, and coordinate their work in real time.

Prompt Engineering for Teams How to define roles, assign file ownership, set communication protocols, and prevent the #1 failure mode (agents overwriting each other's work).

Plan-Then-Execute at Scale The pattern that makes Agent Teams reliable: every agent drafts a plan, gets approval, then executes. No wasted tokens, no wrong-direction builds.

When to Use Teams vs Sub-Agents vs Solo Agent Teams aren't always the answer. We'll cover the decision framework for choosing the right approach based on your task complexity and budget.

Token Economics Agent Teams use 3-5x the tokens of a single session. We'll break down the real costs and show you how to optimize for value.

🎙️ Your Speaker
Andrew Stafford Co-Lead of The AI Collective Hampton Roads 25+ years across technology, cloud architecture, and AI — including work with Amazon, NASA, healthcare platforms, and enterprise systems. Author of AI for Business. Currently building at the intersection of AI tooling, agentic workflows, and practical business automation.

Also runs Claude Code for Business Group
And AI Consulting Group

Who should attend?

• Developers and engineers who want to go beyond copilot-style autocomplete
• Technical professionals curious about agentic AI workflows
• Founders and operators looking to understand the productivity shift
• Anyone who builds, ships, or manages software and wants to see what's possible now

Why this matters
The gap between "AI assistant" and "AI agent" is closing fast. Claude Code doesn't just suggest code — it plans, executes, verifies, and coordinates. Cowork extends that to knowledge work. Dispatch makes it mobile. Tasks make it persistent.

This isn't a future roadmap talk. These tools are live, shipping, and available today. The question isn't whether agentic workflows will change how you work — it's how fast you'll adopt them.

Come see what it looks like when you stop chatting with AI and start delegating to it.

Attendees will receive a comprehensive homework resource guide and access to our AI Workflow Starter Kit for those who want done-for-you templates and video walkthroughs.
