Claude Code Staff Engineer

Claude Code Staff Engineer is an open-source Shell-based project describing a staff-engineer agent workflow for Claude Code. It coordinates specialist sub-agents across software design, task planning, implementation, review and verification, using human approval and defined quality gates.

Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Consider this workflow when a software task has enough planning, coordination or review risk to benefit from distinct agent roles and explicit gates.

Who it is for

  • Developers exploring structured sub-agent workflows in Claude Code.
  • Engineering teams seeking a model for separating planning, implementation and review responsibilities.

Documented uses

  • Explore design options and prepare a specification for human approval.
  • Break a specification into small implementation tasks and review the plan for gaps or scope creep.
  • Delegate tasks to isolated sub-agents, with escalation for stuck work.
  • Check specification compliance, code quality and completion evidence.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project is a public GitHub repository and is listed under the MIT license.

  • The approach depends on Claude Code and organizes work through sub-agent roles rather than describing a standalone hosted service.
  • The README emphasizes human approval before coding and a fresh verification signal before completion claims.
  • The repository describes components such as agents, commands, hooks and skills; the available project description does not provide a complete setup walkthrough.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Create the team-codebase directory structure

Establish the project scaffolding for a Claude Code team of agents before defining its skills or agents.

Before you start

  • A project directory for the team codebase.

Steps

  1. Create a senior_staff_engineer/ project directory.

  2. Add agents/, commands/, hooks/, and skills/ directories beneath it.

  3. Under skills/, add the documented capability directories: design-and-discovery/, delegation/, evidence-verification/, execution-engine/, forensic-debugging/, orchestration/, planning-and-backlog/, release-engineering/, review-reception/, review-requesting/, skill-academy/, tdd-discipline/, and

Expected outcome

A directory scaffold separating agent definitions, commands, hooks, and capability modules.

Guide limitations

  • This recipe covers scaffolding only; it does not define the files or configure the agents, hooks, commands, or skills.
