Expert Panel

Expert Panel (in zh-CN UI: 帮帮团) is a side helper panel in Claude Code Chat mode — while you're talking to Claude in the main chat, you can open one or more "expert teams" simultaneously to get perspectives from a different angle, without breaking your main conversation.

Only available in Claude Code Chat mode. Copilot and Yeaft Sessions don't have Expert Panel yet — for Yeaft Sessions, multi-VP parallel is the (stronger) equivalent.

Open the Expert Panel

The chat header has a 💡 Expert Panel button (or a corresponding sidebar entry). Click to open the side panel on the right of the main chat:

• Top chip-tabs switch between teams (Writing / Trading / Startup / Custom etc.)
• Middle: the selected team's multi-perspective replies, rendered as per-role cards
• Bottom input: send a message directly to the currently selected team

Team templates

A few built-in teams (your Agent's config may vary):

Team	Roles (example)
Writing Team	Editor, Copywriter, Reader Proxy, Marketing
Trading Team	Quant Strategist, Risk, Macro, Technicals
Startup Team	PM, CTO, CMO, User Research
Code Review	Architect, Security, Performance, Test
Custom	Roles you define

Each team is a set of personas + an independent conversation context, all calling the same Claude API.

How it works

1. You ask Claude something in the main chat (e.g. "Could my plan be tweaked this way?")
2. Drop a simplified version of the question into the Expert Panel input (or copy-paste from the main chat)
3. Pick a team (e.g. Code Review)
4. The team's N roles reply in parallel (each role gets its own turn)
5. After reading all the opinions, return to the main chat with Claude to continue

Relationship to the main chat

• Expert Panel doesn't affect the main chat's context — it's an independent conversation with its own token counter
• Use it for "I want to sanity-check this" / "I want to look from another angle"
• Main chat = execution; Expert Panel = judgment

Team management

• Switch team — chip-tab, one click
• Clear — each team has a "🗑 Clear" button to reset
• Close panel — click the 💡 button in the header again, or the panel's ×

Comparison with Yeaft Sessions

• Expert Panel is a helper panel for Claude Code Chat; all roles call the same Claude API; the session lasts only this window
• Yeaft Sessions elevates multi-role to the main interaction model; each VP picks its own provider/model and has persistent cross-task memory

For "quick multi-perspective sanity check on a single question" — use Expert Panel. For "long-term multi-role group with persistent memory across tasks" — use Yeaft Sessions.

Troubleshooting

Expert Panel button greyed out / missing

• The current session's provider isn't Claude Code (Copilot doesn't have this capability)
• The Agent capability flag expert is missing — upgrade the Agent

Team replies stay empty

• The team config has no roles — open settings and add roles
• Or Claude API throttling / out of budget — check Agent logs
