Re-Planning the Incident for a Three-Person Team
The case study is told as a single engineer working one continuous Claude Code session. Suppose instead a team of three engineers picks up the same ticket together and decides to coordinate the work using an agent team (a lead agent supervising peer sessions, with a shared task list and mailbox messaging) rather than one person running subagents sequentially.
- Propose a task split across three teammates that covers the same ground as Phases 2 through 5 of the case study (exploration, wrong turn / revised hypothesis, implementation, generalization).
- Identify at least one point in your split where two teammates could plausibly edit overlapping files, and explain how you'd avoid that collision.
- Is an agent team actually a better fit for this incident than the single-session-plus-subagents approach the case study used, or would you keep the original approach for the first three engineers picking this up together? Justify your answer using a property of agent teams, not just "more people means more parallelism."
