Install a team of specialist agents into Claude Code

Posted on Oct 31 • Originally published at dedupedai.com

Generic prompts give generic answers, and writing a good persona for every role takes hours. 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. Below is the route from the README, with the real commands. The short version is on the Deduped use-case page.

Each agent file holds an identity and personality, a core mission and workflow, technical deliverables with code examples, and success metrics. The idea is that you activate the specialist that fits the task instead of re-explaining a role every session.

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. On a Mac:

brew install --cask msitarzewski/agency-agents/agency-agents Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Prefer the terminal? The scripts install the same agents.

./scripts/install.sh --list teams Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Install only the divisions you need into Claude Code:

./scripts/install.sh --tool claude-code --division engineering,security Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Or install everything for Claude Code:

./scripts/install.sh --tool claude-code Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Or copy one division by hand cp engineering/ *.md ~/.claude/agents/ Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode That is all Claude Code needs: the files sit in its agents directory.

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

For a feature that spans layers, split the work:

Use the Backend Architect agent to design the API for, then the Frontend Developer agent to build its UI. Summarize what each agent produced.

Switch to the DevOps Automator agent when the task becomes pipelines and deployment.

The same repo can generate integration files for other tools. The README lists GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Cursor, Aider, Windsurf, Codex and more. Run the converter, then install:

./scripts/convert.sh./scripts/install.sh --tool gemini-cli Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode The Deduped page on using these agents in Cursor or Codex covers that route.

Setup takes about 10 minutes: one install command, one session, one named specialist. If you want to trim what your agent loads, compare with the Deduped page on installing a startup MVP runbook team.
