Dream Team v3.0

Effective Claude workflows based on official Anthropic patterns and real-world feedback.

Philosophy

"A single-threaded linear agent maintains continuous context. This simple approach will get you very far." - Cognition (Devin team)

Less ceremony, more results. Claude works best when it can:

• Build context itself
• Ask questions only when genuinely needed
• Work incrementally
• Self-review before presenting

Quick Start

Installation

# Option 1: Plugin (Recommended)
claude plugins add https://github.com/ashchupliak/dream-team

# Option 2: Manual
git clone https://github.com/ashchupliak/dream-team.git
cd dream-team
./install.sh

Usage

# For 90% of tasks - use /solo
/solo Fix the login bug
/solo Add rate limiting to the API
/solo Why are the tests failing?

# For complex features needing multiple perspectives
/team Add OAuth with Google and GitHub

---

Commands

/solo - Primary Workflow (Recommended)

The main command for most tasks. Claude will:

1. Build context automatically - Read CLAUDE.md, explore codebase, find patterns
2. Assess confidence - Determine if it has enough info to proceed
3. Ask only when needed - No forced questions, no ceremonies
4. Work incrementally - Small steps that compile and work
5. Self-review - Check own work before presenting

/solo Fix the login bug
/solo Add rate limiting to the API
/solo Why are the tests failing?
/solo Review my changes in the auth module
/solo Refactor the user service

/team - Multi-Agent Workflow

For genuinely complex features where you want:

• Multiple architecture options presented
• Parallel exploration of different aspects
• Explicit user checkpoints

Based on Anthropic's feature-dev plugin.

7-phase workflow: Discovery → Exploration → Questions → Architecture → Implementation → Review → Summary

/team Add OAuth authentication with Google and GitHub
/team Implement real-time notifications system

Legacy Commands

| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | /team-a | Original 5-agent with health checks | | /team-b | Original 5-agent standard | | /team-c | Original 3-agent fast |

Kept for comparison. Use /solo instead for most tasks.

When To Use What

| Task | Use | Why | |------|-----|-----| | Bug fix | /solo | Single context, no overhead | | Small feature | /solo | Find patterns, implement, verify | | Investigation | /solo | Explore and report | | Code review | /solo | Read and analyze | | Refactoring | /solo | Incremental changes | | Complex feature | /team | Need multiple architecture options | | Architecture decisions | /team | Want parallel exploration |

Rule of thumb: Start with /solo. Use /team only when you genuinely need multiple perspectives.

Skills

Specialized knowledge Claude can invoke on demand:

| Skill | Domain | |-------|--------| | kotlin-patterns | Kotlin idioms and patterns | | kotlin-spring-boot | Spring Boot 3.x | | nextjs-patterns | Next.js 15 App Router | | prisma-patterns | Prisma ORM | | tanstack-query | React Query | | jooq-patterns | JOOQ type-safe SQL | | flyway-migrations | Database migrations | | api-design | REST API design | | grpc-protobuf | gRPC and Protocol Buffers | | k8s-helm | Kubernetes and Helm | | opentelemetry | Distributed tracing | | systematic-planning | Feature planning | | codex | Codex CLI delegation |

Just mention the domain in your request.

Agents

Available for /team workflows:

| Agent | Role | Model | |-------|------|-------| | analyst | Requirements, research | Sonnet | | architect | Design, APIs, blueprints | Sonnet | | developer | Implementation | Sonnet | | qa | Testing, review | Sonnet | | devops | Infrastructure | Sonnet | | code-reviewer | Deep code review | Sonnet | | security-tester | Security audit | Sonnet | | tech-researcher | Fast research | Haiku |

Project Setup

For best results, add a CLAUDE.md to your project root:

# Project Name

## Commands
- Build: npm run build
- Test: npm test
- Lint: npm run lint

## Tech Stack
- Next.js 14, TypeScript, Prisma

## Conventions
- Use server components by default
- API routes in /app/api/
- Database queries through Prisma only

## Current Focus
- Working on user authentication

This helps Claude understand your specific project.

Research Behind This

Based on:

• Anthropic: Claude Code Best Practices
• Anthropic: Multi-Agent Research System
• Cognition: Don't Build Multi-Agents
• Anthropic: feature-dev Plugin

Key insight: Multi-agent systems use ~15x more tokens than single agent. Worth it only for breadth-first parallel research, not sequential development tasks.

Feedback

If Claude:

• Misses context → Add to project CLAUDE.md

The workflow improves with feedback.
