Why your solo agent workflow breaks down in a team build

As I have been learning and building with AI, most of my discoveries and improvements have been around the concept of solo developer + agent. Recently I had the opportunity to work with a small team on a new build and brought the approach that works for me to the team. While my flow worked, it blocked the team for too long and wasted precious time that my teammates could have spent building more meaningfully. Here I want to explore the approach that works well for me solo and what I think changes when you apply that same approach to a team on a greenfield build.
