Four Claude Agents That Work Like a Dev Team

Turn Claude into a four-agent dev team that ships real features while you sleep. Set it up once, then run the whole thing from one command

Here is the whole thing I could not fit in the video. You set up four agents, each locked to ONE job, that hand off through a single shared folder. One plans, one builds, one tries to break it, and a read-only reviewer guards the gate before anything touches your real project.

The one-time setup

Do this once. It takes about 15 minutes.

1 Make one shared folder (or repo) the whole team works in. Everything they produce lives here.

2 Create four agents, one per role below (separate Projects, subagents, or saved instruction sets).

3 Paste that agent's prompt (below) into its instructions. This is what locks it to one job.

4 Wire the handoff: each agent writes its output to a file in the shared folder, and the next one reads it. Planner writes spec.md, Coder writes the code, Tester writes test-report.md, Reviewer writes the verdict.

5 To run the whole pipeline from one command, save them as subagents or a slash command that fires them in order: plan, build, test, review.

Your 4 agents

Copy each prompt straight into that agent. The order is the whole point: each one only trusts the file the last one left.

1. The Planner (use your smartest model)

Takes your rough idea and turns it into an exact spec. The plan sets the ceiling, so spend your best model here.
