Team Coordinate

Universal team coordination skill: analyze task -> generate role-specs -> dispatch -> execute -> deliver. Only the coordinator is built-in. All worker roles are dynamically generated as lightweight role-spec files and spawned via the team-worker agent.

Architecture

 [team-worker agents, each loaded with a dynamic role-spec]
  (roles generated at runtime from task analysis)

  CLI Tools (callable by any worker):
    maestro delegate --mode analysis  - analysis and exploration
    maestro delegate --mode write     - code generation and modification

Shared Constants

Constant Value
Session prefix TC
Session path {run_dir}/work/team/
Worker agent team-worker
Message bus mcp__maestro__team_msg(session_id=<run-id>, ...)
CLI analysis maestro delegate --mode analysis
CLI write maestro delegate --mode write
Max roles 5

Role Router

This skill is coordinator-only. Workers do NOT invoke this skill -- they are spawned as team-worker agents directly.

Input Parsing

Parse $ARGUMENTS. No --role needed -- always routes to coordinator.

Role Registry

Only coordinator is statically registered. All other roles are dynamic, stored as role-specs in session.

Role File Type
coordinator roles/coordinator/role.md built-in orchestrator
(dynamic) {run_dir}/work/team/role-specs/<role-name>.md runtime-generated role-spec

CLI Tool Usage

Workers can use CLI tools for analysis and code operations:

Tool Purpose
maestro delegate --mode analysis Analysis, exploration, pattern discovery
maestro delegate --mode write Code generation, modification, refactoring

Dispatch

Always route to coordinator. Coordinator reads roles/coordinator/role.md and executes its phases.

Orchestration Mode

User just provides task description.

Invocation: Skill(skill="team-coordinate", args="task description")

Lifecycle:

User provides task description
  -> coordinator Phase 1: task analysis (detect capabilities, build dependency graph)
  -> coordinator Phase 2: generate role-specs + initialize session
  -> coordinator Phase 3: create task chain from dependency graph
  -> coordinator Phase 4: spawn first batch workers (background) -> STOP
  -> Worker executes -> SendMessage callback -> coordinator advances next step
  -> Loop until pipeline complete -> Phase 5 report + completion action

User Commands (wake paused coordinator):

Command Action
check / status Output execution status graph, no advancement
resume / continue Check worker states, advance next step
revise <TASK-ID> [feedback] Revise specific task with optional feedback
feedback <text> Inject feedback into active pipeline
improve [dimension] Auto-improve weakest quality dimension

Coordinator Spawn Template

v2 Worker Spawn (all roles)

When coordinator spawns workers, use team-worker agent with role-spec path:

Agent({
  subagent_type: "team-worker",
  description: "Spawn <role> worker",
  team_name: <team-name>,
  name: "<role>",
  run_in_background: true,
  prompt: `## Role Assignment
role: <role>
role_spec: {run_dir}/work/team/role-specs/<role>.md
session: {run_dir}/work/team
session_id: <run-id>
team_name: <team-name>
requirement: <task-description>
inner_loop: <true|false>

## Progress Milestones
session_id: <run-id>
Report progress via team_msg at natural phase boundaries (context loaded -> core work done -> verification).
Report blockers immediately via team_msg type="blocker".
Report completion via team_msg type="task_complete" after final SendMessage.

Read role_spec file to load Phase 2-4 domain instructions.
Execute built-in Phase 1 (task discovery) -> role-spec Phase 2-4 -> built-in Phase 5 (report).`
})

Inner Loop roles (role has 2+ serial same-prefix tasks): Set inner_loop: true. The team-worker agent handles the loop internally.

Single-task roles: Set inner_loop: false.


Completion Action

When pipeline completes (all tasks done), coordinator presents an interactive choice:

AskUserQuestion({
  questions: [{
    question: "Team 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, then clean" }
    ]
  }]
})

Action Handlers

Choice Steps
Archive & Clean Update session status="completed" -> TeamDelete -> output final summary with artifact paths
Keep Active Update session status="paused" -> output: "Resume with: Skill(skill='team-coordinate', args='resume')"
Export Results AskUserQuestion(target path) -> copy artifacts to target -> Archive & Clean

Session Resume

Coordinator supports resume / continue for interrupted sessions:

  1. Scan {run_dir}/work/team/team-session.json for active/paused sessions
  2. Multiple matches -> AskUserQuestion for selection
  3. Audit TaskList -> reconcile session state <-> task status
  4. Reset in_progress -> pending (interrupted tasks)
  5. Rebuild team and spawn needed workers only
  6. Create missing tasks, set dependencies via TaskUpdate({ addBlockedBy })
  7. Kick first executable task -> Phase 4 coordination loop

Error Handling

Scenario Resolution
Unknown command Error with available command list
Dynamic role-spec not found Error, coordinator may need to regenerate
Command file not found Fallback to inline execution
CLI tool fails Worker proceeds with direct implementation, logs warning
Explore cache corrupt Clear cache, re-explore
Fast-advance spawns wrong task Coordinator reconciles on next callback
capability_gap reported Coordinator generates new role-spec via handleAdapt
Completion action fails Default to Keep Active, log warning
