FAQPage Schema
What is a recursive three-role agent architecture in Claude Code?

A recursive three-role agent architecture structures Claude Code workflows using a chief-of-staff, an orchestrator, and specialized sub-agents. This hierarchy delegates tasks recursively, allowing complex software engineering processes to be managed and executed by specialized automated roles.

How do I install The Stoa substrate for Claude Code?

To install The Stoa substrate, run the /stoa-about skill to access the guided installation option. This provides a step-by-step walkthrough for setting up the recursive three-role agent architecture within your Claude Code environment.

Do I need prior knowledge of Claude Code to use The Stoa agent system?

Yes, using The Stoa requires existing knowledge of Claude Code and its native agent system. The architecture builds upon Claude Code's foundational capabilities to deploy its chief-of-staff, orchestrator, and specialized sub-agents effectively.

How does The Stoa architecture route tasks to specialized sub-agents?

The Stoa routes tasks through a chief-of-staff and orchestrator layer that delegates processing recursively to specialized sub-agents. You can explore the exact routing mechanisms and visual architecture modes through the skill's interactive visual tour.

Can I see examples of The Stoa architecture handling software engineering tasks?

Yes, you can access an in-depth case study through the /stoa-about skill. This documentation provides detailed examples of the recursive three-role agent architecture operating in real software engineering scenarios.
