/team — Agent Teams Orchestration

SkillAI & models

Orchestrate an Agent Teams session with Thoughtbox as the reasoning substrate

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the /team — Agent Teams Orchestration skill

What this skill tells your AI

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

Usage

/team <task description>

What This Skill Does

  1. Creates a Thoughtbox workspace for the task
  2. Decomposes the task into problems with dependencies
  3. Spawns teammates with appropriate profiles and workspace ID
  4. 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

Register as coordinator, then create the workspace (one thoughtbox_execute call each):

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.
