Team Lifecycle v4

Orchestrate multi-agent software development: specification → planning → implementation → testing → review.

Role Registry

Role	Path	Prefix	Inner Loop
coordinator	roles/coordinator/role.md	—	—
analyst	roles/analyst/role.md	RESEARCH-*	false

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: TLV4
• 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" })

Supervisor Spawn Template

Supervisor is a resident agent (independent from team-worker). Spawned once during session init, woken via SendMessage for each CHECKPOINT task.

Spawn (Phase 2 — once per session)

teammate({ agent: "team-supervisor", name: "supervisor", description: "Spawn resident supervisor", context: "fresh" })

Wake (handleSpawnNext — per CHECKPOINT task)

SendMessage({
  type: "message",
  recipient: "supervisor",
  content: `## Checkpoint Request
task_id: <CHECKPOINT-NNN>
scope: [<upstream-task-ids>]
pipeline_progress: <done>/<total> tasks completed`,
  summary: "Checkpoint request: <CHECKPOINT-NNN>"
})

Shutdown (handleComplete)

SendMessage({
  type: "shutdown_request",
  recipient: "supervisor",
  content: "Pipeline complete, shutting down supervisor"
})

User Commands

Command	Action
check / status	View execution status graph
resume / continue	Advance to next step
revise <TASK-ID> [feedback]	Revise specific task
feedback <text>	Inject feedback for revision
recheck	Re-run quality check
improve [dimension]	Auto-improve weakest dimension

Completion Action

When pipeline completes, coordinator presents:

AskUserQuestion({
  questions: [{
    question: "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" }
    ]
  }]
})

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
Supervisor crash	Respawn with recovery: true, auto-rebuilds from existing reports
Supervisor not ready for CHECKPOINT	Spawn/respawn supervisor, wait for ready, then wake
Completion action fails	Default to Keep Active
