Orchestrate multi-agent teams with defined roles, task lifecycles, handoff protocols, and review workflows.

--- name: agent-team-orchestration description: "Orchestrate multi-agent teams with defined roles, task lifecycles, handoff protocols, and review workflows. Use when: (1) Setting up a team of 2+ agents with different specializations, (2) Defining task routing and lifecycle (inbox → spec → build → review → done), (3) Creating handoff protocols between agents, (4) Establishing review and quality gates, (5) Managing async communication and artifact sharing between agents." --- # Agent Team Orchestration Production playbook for running multi-agent teams with clear roles, structured task flow, and quality gates. ## Quick Start: Minimal 2-Agent Team A builder and a reviewer. The simplest useful team. ### 1. Define Roles ``` Orchestrator (you) — Route tasks, track state, report results Builder agent — Execute work, produce artifacts ``` ### 2. Spawn a Task ``` 1. Create task record (file, DB, or task board) 2. Spawn builder with: - Task ID and description - Output path for artifacts - Handoff instructions (what to produce, where to put it) 3. On completion: review artifacts, mark done, report ``` ### 3. Add a Reviewer ``` Builder produces artifact → Reviewer checks it → Orchestrator ships or returns ``` That's the core loop. Everything below scales this pattern. ## Core Concepts ### Roles Every agent has one primary role. Overlap causes confusion. | Role | Purpose | Model guidance | |------|---------|---------------| | **Orchestrator** | Route work, track state, make priority calls | High-reasoning model (handles judgment) | | **Builder** | Produce artifacts — code, docs, configs | Can use cost-effective models for mechanical work | | **Reviewer** | Verify quality, push back on gaps | High-reasoning model (catches what builders miss) | | **Ops** | Cron jobs, standups, health checks, dispatching | Cheapest model that's reliable | → *Read [references/team-setup.md](references/team-setup.md) when defining a new team or adding agents.* ### Task St

The builder/reviewer loop is the right minimal unit
agent-team-orchestration scales from the smallest useful team — one builder plus one reviewer — rather than starting with a fleet. The core loop is clean: ``` Builder produces artifact -> Reviewer checks it -> Orchestrator ships or returns ``` It defines a task lifecycle (inbox -> spec -> build -> review -> done), handoff protocols, and quality gates, and spawns a builder with a task ID, a description, an output path, and explicit handoff instructions. Everything above two agents is described as scaling this same pattern, which keeps the model small enough to reason about.
Use case: Setting up a two-or-more agent team with clear roles and a review gate before work ships.

Standing Up a 2-Agent Builder/Reviewer Team
# Agent Team Orchestration Quick Guide Start with the smallest useful team, then scale the same pattern. ## Minimal Team ``` Orchestrator (you) — route tasks, track state, report results Builder agent — execute work, produce artifacts ``` ## Core Loop ``` Builder produces artifact -> Reviewer checks it -> Orchestrator ships or returns ``` ## Task Lifecycle ``` inbox -> spec -> build -> review -> done ``` ## Spawning a Builder Give it a task ID + description, an output path for artifacts, and explicit handoff instructions (what to produce and where to put it). On completion, the orchestrator reviews artifacts, marks done, and reports. ## Tips - Keep the reviewer separate from the builder — self-review misses the faults the builder already assumed away. - Define the handoff contract (format + location) up front so review is mechanical.
