Agent Teams Lite

Spec-Driven Development with AI Sub-Agents

An orchestrator + 9 specialized sub-agents for structured feature development. Build complex features without context overload, lost details, or hallucinations.

Get StartedHow It WorksGitHub

The problem with AI coding assistants

AI assistants are powerful, but they struggle with complex features

Context overload

Long conversations lead to compression, lost details, and hallucinations

No structure

”Build me dark mode” produces unpredictable results without a plan

No review gate

Code gets written before anyone agrees on what to build

No memory

Specs live in chat history that vanishes when the session ends

The solution: Agent Teams

A lightweight orchestrator delegates all real work to specialized sub-agents. Each sub-agent starts with fresh context, executes one focused task, and returns a structured result.

Quick start

Get up and running in minutes

1

Install the skills

Run the interactive installer to copy skills to your AI assistant:
git clone https://github.com/gentleman-programming/agent-teams-lite.git
cd agent-teams-lite
./scripts/install.sh
The installer will ask which tool you use and copy skills to the right location.
2

Add the orchestrator

Append the orchestrator instructions to your AI assistant’s config file. See the Installation guide for your specific tool.
3

Use it

Open your AI assistant in any project and start building:
/sdd-init
/sdd-new add-csv-export
The orchestrator will delegate to sub-agents, show you summaries, and ask for approval between phases.
