| description | Pre-composed agent team library. Use when the user asks which teams are available, what a team does, when to pick one team over another, or to browse multi-agent compositions. Catalogs ready-to-run teams (development team, review squad, war room) with their purpose, agent roster, workflow type, and when to use each. The actual dispatching is handled by the dispatching-agent-teams skill. |

Agent Teams Library
A catalog of pre-composed agent teams. Each team bundles a roster of agents, a coordination workflow, and entry/exit criteria into a ready-to-use unit. Pick a team and dispatch it via the dispatching-agent-teams skill.
Available Teams
| Team | Workflow | Lead | Use when |
|---|
| development-team | hybrid | Product Manager | Delivering a full feature from requirements to merged PR |
| review-squad | parallel | Reviewer | Multi-perspective code review before merging significant changes |
| war-room | war-room | Architect | Structured technical debate that ends in a decision (architecture choice, tech selection, design trade-off) |
How to Pick a Team
| Situation | Recommended Team |
|---|
| "I need to ship feature X end-to-end" | development-team |
| "Code review this PR thoroughly" | review-squad |
| "We need to decide between X and Y" | war-room |
| "Just review the diff" | Skip the team, delegate to reviewer agent directly |
| "Investigate this area" | Skip the team, delegate to investigator agent directly |
If no team fits the work, skip the team and chain individual agents (see the using-ecosystem skill's chaining patterns).
Team File Format
Every team file follows the team specification (spec/team-spec.md):
- Frontmatter:
name, description, lead, agents, skills, workflow
- Body: Purpose, Workflow, Entry/Exit Criteria, Coordination Rules, Spawning
The dispatcher reads these fields to resolve the team, verify entry criteria, and execute the workflow in the appropriate spawning mode.
Authoring Your Own Team
User-authored teams live at the project root in teams/{name}.md. The dispatcher discovers project teams before falling back to the bundled library here, so project teams can override bundled ones by name.
See spec/team-spec.md for the full team format and template/team-template.md for a starter.
