File contents

/team — Agent Teams Orchestration

Spawn and coordinate an Agent Teams session backed by Thoughtbox Hub.

Usage

/team <task description>

What This Skill Does

Creates a Thoughtbox workspace for the task
Decomposes the task into problems with dependencies
Spawns teammates with appropriate profiles and workspace ID
Monitors progress via tb.hub.workspaceDigest and Observatory

Hub Surface

The hub is exposed as tb.hub.* inside the thoughtbox_execute MCP tool. Register once per MCP session — the returned agentId is implicit for every later hub call in that session, and coordinator role is bound to it (do not re-register; merges must run from this session). Submit at most ONE state-mutating hub call per thoughtbox_execute invocation; read-only calls (tb.hub.whoami, tb.hub.listWorkspaces, tb.hub.readChannel, tb.hub.workspaceDigest) may be freely chained.

Workflow

Step 1: Bootstrap

async () => tb.hub.register({ name: "Lead", profile: "MANAGER" })

async () => tb.hub.createWorkspace({ name: "<task-name>", description: "<task-description>" })

Step 2: Decompose

Analyze the task and create problems:

async () => tb.hub.createProblem({ workspaceId: "<ws-id>", title: "...", description: "..." })

Add dependencies between problems if needed:

async () => tb.hub.addDependency({ workspaceId: "<ws-id>", problemId: "<dependent>", dependsOnProblemId: "<blocker>" })

Step 3: Spawn Teammates

Use the spawn prompt templates from .Codex/team-prompts/ to create teammates. Replace {{WORKSPACE_ID}} with the actual workspace ID.

Recommended team compositions:

Feature work: Architect + Reviewer
Bug investigation: Debugger + Researcher
Full project: Architect + Debugger + Reviewer

Step 4: Monitor

Periodically check progress:

async () => tb.hub.workspaceDigest({ workspaceId: "<ws-id>" })

Step 5: Resolve

When all problems are resolved and proposals are merged (tb.hub.mergeProposal from this coordinator session), summarize outcomes.
