This is fantastic, thanks for sharing! I have two major questions/requests please: A. Could you provide a detail step-by-step tutorial so beginners can follow? For example, I don't know the good details to define the C-suite agent roles, by looking as your "great public GitHub repository" reference. B. Do you believe I can use it for creative work? For example, can I define some agent roles like Master Chef, Visual Artists, Nutritionist, etc. and then ask them to develop a new recipe for me? Thanks! 👍

Thanks for the kind words.

The key thing that might not be clear from the article is that this requires Claude Code, which is Anthropic's command-line tool, rather than the regular Claude web interface.

Once you have that installed, the process is simple:

- Open Claude Code in your terminal

- Type /agents and select "Create new agent"

- Describe the role in plain English (e.g., "A CEO who owns overall company vision, board relations, and strategic direction")

- Claude Code automatically expands your rough description into a detailed agent definition

- Edit/tweak if you want, then save

- Repeat for each council member

You don't need to write detailed role definitions yourself. You give a sketch, Claude Code does the heavy lifting. The GitHub repository I linked is just for inspiration if you want to see how others have structured theirs.

It's possible to use it for any domain really, assuming you want text responses. Hope that helps.

Thank you very much for your detailed answer, I really appreciate it! It'll be so great if I can use it for non-dev cases, particularly for creative work. Cheers, and Happy Holidays! 👍

I'm looking forward to trying this on my own. Needing to learn Claude Code.

Just give it a go! It’s dead easy and just looks harder than it seems because of the terminal interface.

Okay, I will! I've been following for a while because, even though I'm not managing engineers (nor am I one), I do lead a team of analysts configuring and building solutions using AI. I've gotten a lot of value from what you're writing.
