Team Skill - Reactive Wave Orchestration

Use reactive team orchestration where waves emerge from task completions, not predefined schedules.

The Pattern

User: "extract all code, go through iterations until done"
         │
         ▼
    [TEAM LEAD]
         │
    ├── Analyze task → Create all tasks with dependencies
    │
    ├── Spawn workers for ALL initially unblocked tasks (Wave 1)
    │
    ├── MONITOR LOOP (until all tasks done)
    │   ├── receive_messages → check for completions
    │   ├── task_list → check which tasks are now unblocked
    │   └── For each newly unblocked task:
    │       └── Spawn worker for that task
    │
    └── When all tasks complete → Shutdown workers

How It Works

1. Create all tasks upfront with blockedBy dependencies
2. Spawn workers for all tasks that have no blockers
3. Monitor - poll for completions and newly unblocked tasks
4. React - spawn workers for newly unblocked tasks
5. Repeat until all tasks complete

This means you tell the lead: "Keep iterating until X is done" and it will keep spawning workers as tasks become available.

Example: Document Codebase

User: "document all code, keep working until TYPELESS-FEATURE-MAP.md is complete"
         │
         ▼
    Lead: Create tasks with dependencies:
    - Task 1 (beautifier): no blockers
    - Task 2 (renderer): blocked by 1
    - Task 3 (main-doc): no blockers  
    - Task 4 (koffi-doc): no blockers
    - Task 5 (native-doc): no blockers
    - Task 6 (feature-doc): blocked by 2,3,4,5

    Lead: Spawn workers for initially unblocked (1,3,4,5)
    
    MONITOR LOOP:
    ├─ Beautifier completes → Task 2 unblocked → Spawn worker for Task 2
    ├─ Main-doc completes → (no new unblocked)
    ├─ Koffi-doc completes → (no new unblocked)
    ├─ Native-doc completes → (no new unblocked)
    ├─ Renderer-doc completes → Task 6 unblocked → Spawn worker for Task 6
    └─ Feature-doc completes → ALL DONE → Shutdown

    Result: TYPELESS-FEATURE-MAP.md is complete!

Execution Steps

Step 1: Create Team

team_create({ "teamName": "doc-team" })

Step 2: Create ALL Tasks with Dependencies

// No blockers - will spawn immediately
task_create({ "teamName": "doc-team", "subject": "Beautify JS", "description": "..." })

// Blocked by beautifier
task_create({ "teamName": "doc-team", "subject": "Renderer analysis", "description": "...", "blockedBy": ["beautifier-task-id"] })

// No blockers
task_create({ "teamName": "doc-team", "subject": "IPC handlers", "description": "..." })

// Blocked by multiple
task_create({ "teamName": "doc-team", "subject": "Feature map", "description": "...", "blockedBy": ["renderer-id", "main-doc-id", ...] })

Step 3: Spawn Initial Workers (All Unblocked Tasks)

// For each unblocked task, spawn a worker
task_list({ "teamName": "doc-team", "status": "pending" })

// Then spawn workers for those tasks
team_spawn_worker({ "teamName": "doc-team", "workerName": "beautifier", "agentType": "executor", "taskId": "task-1-id" })
team_spawn_worker({ "teamName": "doc-team", "workerName": "main-doc", "agentType": "executor", "taskId": "task-3-id" })
// etc.

Step 4: Monitor Loop

The lead monitors and reacts:

// Check for completions
receive_messages({ "teamName": "doc-team", "recipient": "team-lead", "clear": false })

// Check which tasks are now unblocked and pending
task_list({ "teamName": "doc-team", "status": "pending" })

// Spawn worker for newly unblocked task
team_spawn_worker({ "teamName": "doc-team", "workerName": "renderer-doc", "agentType": "executor", "taskId": "task-2-id" })

Step 5: Continue Until Done

// Check completion
task_list({ "teamName": "doc-team", "status": "completed" })

// If all done: shutdown
// If more pending: go to step 4

Monitoring Commands

Check	Command
Pending tasks (available to spawn)	task_list({ "teamName": "x", "status": "pending" })
In progress tasks	task_list({ "teamName": "x", "status": "in_progress" })
Completed tasks	task_list({ "teamName": "x", "status": "completed" })
Worker messages	receive_messages({ "teamName": "x", "recipient": "team-lead" })
Full status	team_status({ "teamName": "x" })

Progress Report Format

## Team Progress

**Completed:**
- Task 1 (beautifier) - Done
- Task 3 (main-doc) - Done

**In Progress:**
- Task 4 (koffi-doc) - worker-2 working

**Unblocked (spawn now):**
- Task 2 (renderer) - ready to spawn

**Blocked (waiting):**
- Task 6 (feature-doc) - blocked by 2,3,4,5

**Next Action:** Spawn worker for Task 2

Key Insight: Reactive vs Predefined

Approach	How it works
Predefined waves	You decide waves upfront, spawn in batches
Reactive (this skill)	You create all tasks, lead spawns workers as tasks become unblocked

The reactive approach is better when:

• User says "keep iterating until done"
• Dependencies are complex
• You don't know exactly how many iterations

Example User Prompt

"Use team orchestration to document this codebase. Create tasks for:
1. Beautify all JS bundles
2. Document renderer architecture (after beautifier)
3. Document main process IPC handlers
4. Analyze Koffi FFI bindings
5. Analyze native modules and preload
6. Write TYPELESS-FEATURE-MAP.md (after all above)

Spawn workers, monitor completions, and keep spawning newly unblocked tasks until Task 6 is complete."

Complete Workflow

// 1. Create team
team_create({ "teamName": "doc-team" })

// 2. Create ALL tasks with dependencies
task_create({ "teamName": "doc-team", "subject": "Beautify", "description": "..." })
task_create({ "teamName": "doc-team", "subject": "Renderer", "description": "...", "blockedBy": ["beautifier-id"] })
// ... more tasks

// 3. Spawn workers for unblocked tasks
// Check task_list for pending tasks, spawn workers for each

// 4. MONITOR LOOP (execute repeatedly):
// - receive_messages to check completions
// - task_list to find newly unblocked tasks
// - team_spawn_worker for each newly unblocked task
// - When all completed, shutdown and report

// 5. Shutdown when done
team_delete({ "teamName": "doc-team" })
