Workflow Optimization

Wrap the entire team spawn prompt into a slash command like /banana-squad so you can trigger the full pipeline with one keyword.

If you're generating images regularly, typing or pasting the full team spawn prompt every time is wasteful. Create a Claude Code skill that triggers on a keyword like "banana squad" or "spawn the image generation team." The skill sets up the team, defines all roles, starts the orchestration flow, asks clarifying questions, and handles the full pipeline through to critic review. One keyword, five agents, zero repetitive pasting.

Background agents consume tokens while running. Always terminate them after the critic approves the final output.

One user left their agent team running for an entire day after 2 hours of actual generation work. The agents sat idle, consuming 10-20K unnecessary tokens just maintaining their context. Build a graceful shutdown step into your slash command: after the critic approves the final ranked output, explicitly terminate all background agents. The pipeline should have a clear end state — output delivered, agents terminated, folder cleaned up.
