Install a team of specialist agents into Claude Code

Description and use

Installing the Agency Agents collection into Claude Code enables quick activation of roles like Frontend Developer or Backend Architect without re‑explaining tasks. The setup takes about 10 minutes and involves installing via Homebrew or scripts, after which agents can be invoked by name in a Claude Code session.

Problem

Generic prompts give generic answers, and writing a good persona for every role takes hours.

Outcome

Setup takes about 10 minutes and enables role‑specific prompts without re‑explanation, improving workflow efficiency.

Workflow

• Clone the Agency Agents repo or install via Homebrew cask.
• Run ./scripts/install.sh --list teams to view available divisions.
• Execute ./scripts/install.sh --tool claude-code --division engineering,security to install selected divisions, or ./scripts/install.sh --tool claude-code to install all.
• (Optional) Copy a division manually with cp engineering/*.md ~/.claude/agents/.
• Start a Claude Code session and activate a role, e.g., "Hey Claude, activate Frontend Developer mode and help me build a React component."

Evidence

Generic prompts give generic answers, and writing a good persona for every role takes hours.

Source

Agency Agents is a collection of ready‑made specialist agent files (frontend developer, backend architect, DevOps automator and many more) that you can drop into Claude Code.

Source

The README now recommends a native desktop app for macOS, Linux and Windows that browses the roster and installs agents into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI and others.

Source

Start a Claude Code session and ask for a role by name. The README's own example: "Hey Claude, activate Frontend Developer mode and help me build a React component".

Source

Installing every division loads a lot of agent files. Start with engineering and security, and add more only when you use them.
