Team Coordinate
Universal team coordination skill: analyze task -> generate role-specs -> dispatch -> execute -> deliver. Only the coordinator is built-in. All worker roles are dynamically generated as lightweight role-spec files and spawned via the team-worker agent.

Role Router
This skill is coordinator-only. Workers do NOT invoke this skill -- they are spawned as team-worker agents directly.
Input Parsing
Parse $ARGUMENTS. No --role needed -- always routes to coordinator.
Role Registry
Only coordinator is statically registered. All other roles are dynamic, stored as role-specs in session.
| Role | File | Type |
|---|
| coordinator | roles/coordinator/role.md | built-in orchestrator |
| (dynamic) | <session>/role-specs/<role-name>.md | runtime-generated role-spec |
Tech Profile Scan: When generating role-specs for analysis/exploration roles (responsibility_type includes "analysis", "exploration", or "research"), append to Phase 3:
After exploration, include tech_profile in state_update with detected signals (e.g., sql_detected, auth_detected, perf_sensitive) and evidence file paths. This enables coordinator to evaluate specialist injection needs.
CLI Tool Usage
Workers can use CLI tools for analysis and code operations:
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|
| ccw cli --mode analysis | Analysis, exploration, pattern discovery |
| ccw cli --mode write | Code generation, modification, refactoring |
Dispatch
Always route to coordinator. Coordinator reads roles/coordinator/role.md and executes its phases.
Orchestration Mode
User just provides task description.
Invocation: Skill(skill="team-coordinate", args="task description")
Lifecycle:
User provides task description
-> coordinator Phase 1: task analysis (detect capabilities, build dependency graph)
-> coordinator Phase 2: generate role-specs + initialize session
-> coordinator Phase 3: create task chain from dependency graph
-> coordinator Phase 4: spawn first batch workers (background) -> STOP
-> Worker executes -> SendMessage callback -> coordinator advances next step
-> Loop until pipeline complete -> Phase 5 report + completion action
User Commands (wake paused coordinator):
| Command | Action |
|---|
check / status | Output execution status graph, no advancement |
resume / continue | Check worker states, advance next step |
revise <TASK-ID> [feedback] | Revise specific task with optional feedback |
feedback <text> | Inject feedback into active pipeline |
improve [dimension] | Auto-improve weakest quality dimension |
Coordinator Spawn Template
v2 Worker Spawn (all roles)
When coordinator spawns workers, use team-worker agent with role-spec path:
Agent({
subagent_type: "team-worker",
description: "Spawn <role> worker",
team_name: <team-name>,
name: "<role>",
run_in_background: true,
prompt: `## Role Assignment
role: <role>
role_spec: <session-folder>/role-specs/<role>.md
session: <session-folder>
session_id: <session-id>
team_name: <team-name>
requirement: <task-description>
inner_loop: <true|false>
## Progress Milestones
session_id: <session-id>
Report progress via team_msg at natural phase boundaries (context loaded -> core work done -> verification).
Report blockers immediately via team_msg type="blocker".
Report completion via team_msg type="task_complete" after final SendMessage.
Read role_spec file to load Phase 2-4 domain instructions.
Execute built-in Phase 1 (task discovery) -> role-spec Phase 2-4 -> built-in Phase 5 (report).`
})
Inner Loop: Determined per-task from task description InnerLoop: field, not per-role:
- Serial chain (2+ tasks, each blockedBy previous):
inner_loop: true — single worker loops
- Parallel tasks (no mutual blockedBy):
inner_loop: false — separate workers per task
- Single-task roles:
inner_loop: false
Completion Action
When pipeline completes (all tasks done), coordinator presents an interactive choice:
AskUserQuestion({
questions: [{
question: "Team pipeline complete. What would you like to do?",
header: "Completion",
multiSelect: false,
options: [
{ label: "Archive & Clean (Recommended)", description: "Archive session, clean up team" },
{ label: "Keep Active", description: "Keep session for follow-up work" },
{ label: "Export Results", description: "Export deliverables to target directory, then clean" }
]
}]
})
Action Handlers
| Choice | Steps |
|---|
| Archive & Clean | Update session status="completed" -> TeamDelete -> output final summary with artifact paths |
| Keep Active | Update session status="paused" -> output: "Resume with: Skill(skill='team-coordinate', args='resume')" |
| Export Results | AskUserQuestion(target path) -> copy artifacts to target -> Archive & Clean |

Session Resume
Coordinator supports resume / continue for interrupted sessions:
- Scan
.workflow/.team/TC-*/team-session.json for active/paused sessions
- Multiple matches -> AskUserQuestion for selection
- Audit TaskList -> reconcile session state <-> task status
- Reset in_progress -> pending (interrupted tasks)
- Rebuild team and spawn needed workers only
- Create missing tasks, set dependencies via TaskUpdate({ addBlockedBy })
- Kick first executable task -> Phase 4 coordination loop
Error Handling
| Scenario | Resolution |
|---|
| Unknown command | Error with available command list |
| Dynamic role-spec not found | Error, coordinator may need to regenerate |
| Command file not found | Fallback to inline execution |
| CLI tool fails | Worker proceeds with direct implementation, logs warning |
| Explore cache corrupt | Clear cache, re-explore |
| Fast-advance spawns wrong task | Coordinator reconciles on next callback |
| capability_gap reported | Coordinator generates new role-spec via handleAdapt |
| Completion action fails | Default to Keep Active, log warning |
