name	team-brainstorm
description	Unified team skill for brainstorming team. Uses team-worker agent architecture with role directories for domain logic. Coordinator orchestrates pipeline, workers are team-worker agents. Triggers on "team brainstorm".

Team Brainstorm

Orchestrate multi-agent brainstorming: generate ideas → challenge assumptions → synthesize → evaluate. Supports Quick, Deep, and Full pipelines with Generator-Critic loop.

Role Registry

Role	Path	Prefix	Inner Loop
coordinator	roles/coordinator/role.md	—	—
ideator	roles/ideator/role.md	IDEA-*	false
challenger	roles/challenger/role.md	CHALLENGE-*	false
synthesizer	roles/synthesizer/role.md	SYNTH-*	false
evaluator	roles/evaluator/role.md	EVAL-*	false

Pre-load (coordinator, before dispatch)

1. Codebase docs: If .workflow/codebase/ARCHITECTURE.md exists, read for module boundaries
2. Specs (arch): maestro load --type spec --category arch — load arch constraints as shared context
3. Wiki knowledge: maestro search "brainstorm ideation design" --json — top 5 entries as prior context
4. All optional — proceed without if unavailable

Role Router

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

• Has --role <name> → Read roles/<name>/role.md, execute Phase 2-4
• No --role → @roles/coordinator/role.md, execute entry router

Shared Constants

• Session prefix: BRS
• Session path: {run_dir}/work/team/
• CLI tools: maestro delegate --mode analysis (read-only), maestro delegate --mode write (modifications)
• Message bus: mcp__maestro__team_msg(session_id=<run-id>, ...)

Worker Spawn Template

Coordinator spawns workers using this template:

teammate({ agent: "team-worker", name: "<role>", description: "Spawn <role> worker", context: "fresh" })

Parallel ideator spawn (Full pipeline with N angles):

When Full pipeline has N parallel IDEA tasks, spawn N distinct team-worker agents named ideator-1, ideator-2, etc.

teammate({ agent: "team-worker", name: "ideator-<N>", context: "fresh" })

User Commands

Error Handling

Scenario	Resolution
Unknown command	Error with available command list
Role not found	Error with role registry
CLI tool fails	Worker fallback to direct implementation
Fast-advance conflict	Coordinator reconciles on next callback
Completion action fails	Default to Keep Active
Generator-Critic loop exceeds 2 rounds	Force convergence to synthesizer
No ideas generated	Coordinator prompts with seed questions
