Your Team Needs More Than a CLI Install
Claude Code is individually powerful. One developer, one terminal, one codebase. But when a team of five or ten developers all run Claude Code on the same repository, things get complicated fast. Agents overwrite each other's work. New team members get inconsistent results because they prompt differently. Nobody agrees on what the agent should or should not do without asking first.
The difference between one developer using Claude Code and a team using it well comes down to setup. Shared conventions, shared tooling, shared guardrails. This guide walks through the steps to get your team from "everyone has Claude Code installed" to "everyone gets consistent, high-quality results."
Prerequisites
Before you start configuring team-level setup, every developer needs the basics in place.
