The design of Claude Code

2026-02 English

Kind of interesting. Claude Code probably uses an agent team rather than a single agent. The top layer sorts out the requirements first, then produces an intermediate prompt and a todo list, and finally hands the tasks out and pulls the results together at the end. That process may well involve skills and other tools too. It really is a good design approach, and if you want to build an agent yourself, Claude Code is absolutely the best thing to learn from.
