# Agent Team Kit — SKILL.md

*A framework for self-sustaining AI agent teams.*

---

## What This Is

A complete team process kit for OpenClaw agents that enables:
- **Self-service work queues** — Agents pick up tasks without human bottlenecks
- **Clear role ownership** — Everyone knows who does what
- **Continuous discovery** — Work flows in automatically
- **Proactive operation** — The team runs itself via heartbeat

---

## Quick Start

### 1. Copy the Process Files

```bash
# From your workspace root
cp -r skills/agent-team-kit/templates/process ./process
```

This creates:
- `process/INTAKE.md` — The 5-phase work loop
- `process/ROLES.md` — Role definitions
- `process/OPPORTUNITIES.md` — Raw ideas/discoveries
- `process/BACKLOG.md` — Triaged work queue
- `process/STATUS.md` — Who's working on what

### 2. Add Heartbeat Config

Merge `templates/HEARTBEAT.md` into your existing `HEARTBEAT.md`:

```bash
cat skills/agent-team-kit/templates/HEARTBEAT.md >> HEARTBEAT.md
```

Or copy it directly if you don't have one yet.

### 3. Customize Roles

Edit `process/ROLES.md` to match your team:
- Rename roles to fit your domain
- Add/remove specialized execution roles
- Update the human lead section with your name

## The Intake Loop

```
DISCOVER → TRIAGE → READY → EXECUTE → FEEDBACK
    ↑                                      ↓
    └──────────────────────────────────────┘
```

1. **Discover** — Find opportunities (Scout role)
2. **Triage** — Decide what's ready (Rhythm role)
3. **Ready** — Self-service queue (any agent)
4. **Execute** — Do the work (assigned agent)
5. **Feedback** — Learn and spawn new ideas (completing agent)
