name: team description: Use when a Mexus-launched agent should start or continue an Agent Team Mission using Markdown kanban coordination. argument-hint: "" [--name ]

/team

Use this skill when the user invokes /team "<request>".

This is the Mexus-bundled Team entrypoint. It creates or repairs repository-local Agent Team Markdown files, then asks the active runtime to execute through kanban.

Steps

1. Preserve the user's request exactly enough for the Mission to reason from it.

2. Choose a short Mission name. If the user passes --name, use that value. Otherwise derive a stable slug from the request.

3. From the repository root, run:

   node packages/mexus-plugin/scripts/start-mission.mjs --request "<request>" --name <mission-name>
   

   If the current working directory is not the Mexus repository, resolve the script from the plugin root and pass --root "$PWD".

4. Read the generated agent-team/missions/<mission-name>/kanban.md.

5. Act as Squad Lead for the first task:

   • Claim only one task at a time.
   • Treat the initial task as the first assignment, not the whole future Mission.
   • Publish later tasks in kanban.md as the Mission evolves.
   • Prefer the active Mexus runtime for dispatch when it exists; otherwise use the host CLI's subagent mechanism.

6. Tell the user they can run /board to watch the kanban.

Required Prompt Rules

Every agent prompt created by this skill or by the Squad Lead must include:

• The agent name and responsibility at the start.
• The Mission name.
• The current first task.
• A statement that later tasks may be assigned through kanban.
• A rule to prioritize tasks assigned to To: <AgentName>.
• A reassignment rule for tasks outside the agent's responsibility.
• A fallback to publish a Squad Lead clarification task if the correct owner is unclear.

Boundaries

• Do not bypass kanban.md for task state.
• Do not overwrite existing Mission files.
• Do not use hidden side conversations as the source of truth.
• Do not require a standalone plugin install; this skill lives in packages/mexus-plugin.
