Agent Teams are a Meeseeks Box

tokens go brrrr. TIL Claude Code’s Agent Teams are a Mr. Meeseeks Box.

Mr. Meeseeks mob scene labeled with Claude Code agent names like @planner, @tester, @architect, each spawning subagents

With --dangerously-skip-permissions, all spawned agents inherit no-permission mode. From the docs: “If the lead runs with –dangerously-skip-permissions, all teammates do too.” It’s the Meeseeks Box with no adult supervision.

I wrote about loops before. There’s a Ralph Wiggum technique. A bash loop that keeps feeding an agent the same prompt until done. I’m calling this one the Mr. Meeseeks Box. Parallel agents, each spawning more agents, each ceasing to exist after completing their task.
