What Is Team Coordination?

Team coordination is the process of organizing multiple AI agents to work together on shared goals. The Chief of Staff acts as the central coordination point, ensuring agents are assigned appropriate roles, can communicate effectively, and remain aware of each other's progress and status.

Key characteristics:

• Distributed: Team members run in separate Claude Code sessions
• Asynchronous: Communication happens via message queues, not direct calls
• Role-based: Each agent has a defined role with specific responsibilities
• Status-aware: Chief of Staff tracks all team member states

Team Coordination Components

1. Role Assignment

Matching agents to roles based on capabilities and task requirements.

2. Team Messaging

Facilitating communication between team members via AI Maestro.

3. Teammate Awareness

Maintaining visibility into all team members' current status and activities.

Core Procedures

When to use: When onboarding a new agent, reassigning responsibilities, or restructuring the team.
