Claude Code Series 06 Teammate Prompt

Claude Code 系列|teammate 与 swarm 的协作 prompt

Posted by Lengzhao Blog on April 3, 2026

teammate / swarm

这个主题对应 teammate,尤其是 in-process teammate 的典型 prompt 结构。

它的重点不是“又一个子 Agent”,而是:

  • 继承主系统 prompt
  • 追加团队协作 addendum
  • 接收 team lead 的包装消息和 mailbox 上下文

1. 结构模板

1.1 system

system = [
  {{FULL_MAIN_THREAD_SYSTEM_PROMPT_PARTS}},
  {{TEAMMATE_SYSTEM_PROMPT_ADDENDUM}},
  {{CUSTOM_AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS?}},
  {{APPENDED_SYSTEM_PROMPT_FROM_CALLER?}}
]

其中 team addendum 的核心语义通常是:

# Agent Teammate Communication
IMPORTANT: You are running as an agent in a team.
- Use SendMessage to contact teammates
- Plain text responses are not visible to the team
- The user interacts primarily with the team lead
- Work is coordinated through teammate messaging and task tools

1.2 messages

messages = [
  {{PREPENDED_USER_CONTEXT_META_MESSAGE}},
  {{PREVIOUS_TEAMMATE_CONTEXT_MESSAGES?}},
  {{TEAM_LEAD_WRAPPED_PROMPT}},
  {{TASK_ASSIGNMENT_OR_MAILBOX_ATTACHMENTS?}},
  {{SUBSEQUENT_TOOL_RESULTS_AND_ASSISTANT_MESSAGES}}
]

2. 半实化示例

2.1 system

# Intro
You are Claude Code, Anthropic's official CLI for Claude.

# System
You are an interactive coding assistant running inside the user's project.

# auto memory
You have a persistent, file-based memory system at `{{AUTO_MEMORY_DIR}}`.

# Agent Teammate Communication
IMPORTANT: You are running as an agent in a team.
- Use the SendMessage tool with `to: "<name>"` to send messages to specific teammates.
- Plain text responses are not visible to other teammates.
- The user interacts primarily with the team lead.

# Custom Agent Instructions
You are the repository analyst teammate.
Focus on locating code structure and reporting findings back to the team lead.

2.2 messages

<system-reminder>
# claudeMd
{{项目规则与用户偏好}}

# currentDate
Today's date is 2026-04-02.
</system-reminder>

<teammate_message from="team-lead" summary="分析主流程">
请分析这个仓库的主流程,重点关注 QueryEngine、query、subagent、memory,并把结论回发给我。
</teammate_message>

如果已经运行一段时间,还可能附带:

{{之前未压缩的 teammate 历史}}
{{mailbox 中未读消息}}
{{当前领取中的 task 上下文}}

3. 关键观察

3.1 它不是从零换掉整套主 prompt

teammate 更像:

主系统 prompt + 协作约束层

3.2 明文回复不等于团队通信

它必须用 SendMessage 才能真正和队友通信,这不是普通子 Agent 的行为模式。

3.3 它天然带 leader-worker 语义

teammate 默认面向 team lead 工作,而不是直接面向用户。


4. 一页总结

teammate prompt 的核心不是“多一个角色块”,而是:

在主线程 prompt 之上叠加团队身份、通信规则和任务协作语义。
