Claude Code Agent Teams

Claude Code Agent Teams

Master parallel AI collaboration with agent teams. Learn to coordinate multiple Claude instances for complex debugging, code reviews, and cross-layer development.

Why take this course?

Unlock the power of parallel AI collaboration. When production is down and you need answers in minutes, not hours, agent teams let you investigate multiple hypotheses simultaneously. Learn to coordinate multiple Claude instances, implement competing hypotheses debugging, and orchestrate complex cross-layer development. From setup to advanced patterns, this course gives you the skills to leverage team-based AI for research, review, and development at scale.

Course Modules
