Update Team Norm
Create or update a team norm — a durable operating agreement for your team
(who may delegate to whom, escalation paths, decision rights, rules of
engagement, recurring conventions). Use this when a lasting team-wide rule
emerges that future work should follow — not for one-off task notes (use the
wiki/memory for those) and not for reusable procedures (those are SOPs).
Norms you write land in the team's norm store and surface in the wiki under the
team's Team Norms folder, where the owner can review and edit them. Treat
this as proposing a norm: keep it concise, state the rule and when it applies.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|
normId | Yes | Stable kebab-case id / filename, e.g. "code-commit", "delegation". |
content | Yes | The norm body (markdown). State the rule and its rationale. |
title | No | Human title, e.g. "Code Commit Norm". |
trigger | No | When this norm applies, e.g. "before_commit", "before_delegate". |
append | No | "true" to append to an existing norm instead of overwriting. |
teamId | No | Team to write to. Defaults to the team resolved from sessionName. |
sessionName | No | Your session name, used to resolve the team when teamId is omitted. |
updatedBy | No | Who authored the change (your agent/session name). |
Example
bash config/skills/agent/core/update-team-norm/execute.sh '{"normId":"delegation","title":"Delegation","trigger":"before_delegate","content":"Leads may delegate to their own team only; cross-team work goes through the orchestrator."}'
Output
JSON { success, action: "created" | "updated", normId, path }.
