# Team Agent Orchestration
Use this skill when agents are being managed like a team rather than a single assistant. The purpose is to make team-based orchestration reliable: clear work items, explicit ownership, agent Kanban state, branch isolation, control pane visibility, and merge gates.
## When To Activate
- The task spans multiple agents, tools, harnesses, branches, or worktrees.
- The user mentions team orchestration, agent Kanban, squad, conductor, control pane, manager, desktop app, Zellij, tmux, Hermes, Devin, Codex, Claude Code, or multi-agent work.
- A project needs shared workflow state across people and agents.
- Existing agent fan-out is producing output but not mergeable product.
## Operating Model
Treat every agent as a teammate with a narrow contract:
- **Owner**: the person or agent accountable for the work item.
- **Scope**: files, branch, tool surface, and forbidden areas.
- **State**: backlog, ready, running, review, blocked, merged, or archived.
- **Evidence**: tests, screenshots, logs, review notes, or eval reports.
- **Merge gate**: the exact condition that allows integration.
## Agent Kanban
Use agent Kanban when work must be visible across sessions.
| Column | Meaning | Exit Criteria |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Backlog | Candidate work item, not yet shaped | Acceptance criteria written |
| Ready | Shaped and assignable | Owner and branch/worktree assigned |
| Running | Agent is actively working | Handoff artifact and changed files exist |
| Review | Work is complete but not merged | Tests, diff review, and risk check pass |
| Blocked | Needs external input or failed gate | Blocker has owner and next action |
| Merged | Integrated into mainline | PR merged or local main updated |
| Archived | No longer relevant | Reason recorded |
Each card should fit this schema:
```json
{
"id": "agent-card-001",
"title": "Build dynamic workflow skill",
"owner": "codex",
"state": "running",
"branch": "product/dynamic-workflow-team-orchestration",
"worktree": ".",
"acceptance": [
"Skill exists",
"Tests cover required concepts",
"Content artifact contains video and article angles"
],
"merge_gate": "lint, focused tests, and catalog check pass",
"handoff": "path/to/handoff.md"
}
```
## Team-Based Orchestration Flow
1. **Shape the board**: convert fuzzy ambition into work items with owners and merge gates.
2. **Pick execution mode**: single-agent, dynamic workflow mode, dmux/tmux, worktree fan-out, or external desktop orchestrator.
3. **Assign boundaries**: one owner per card, clear file scope, and no overlapping writes without an integrator.
4. **Run agents**: each agent writes evidence and handoff notes, not just code.
5. **Review in sequence**: tests first, then diff review, then security/risk checks, then content/product polish.
6. **Merge deliberately**: one integrator resolves conflicts and updates the control pane or status artifact.
7. **Extract reusable skill**: if the card pattern repeats, promote it into `skills/`.
## Control Pane Requirements
A useful control pane for team orchestration should show:
- Active work items and their agent Kanban state.
- Owner, harness, branch, worktree, and last heartbeat.
- Links to handoff artifacts, tests, screenshots, and PRs.
- Blockers grouped by owner and unblock action.
- Merge readiness by gate, not vibes.
- Reusable workflow candidates that should become shared skills.
Do not add more automation until the operator can answer: who owns this, what changed, what gate failed, and what can safely merge?
## Dynamic Workflow Compatibility
When a card needs dynamic workflow mode:
- Put the task-local harness under the card owner.
- Store inputs and outputs on the card.
- Require an eval before moving from Running to Review.
- Promote the harness to a shared skill only after repeat use.
## Failure Modes To Watch
- **Agent soup**: many agents running, no owner or merge gate.
- **Invisible work**: useful output exists only in a chat transcript.
- **Board theater**: a Kanban board exists but cards have no acceptance criteria.
- **Overlapping writes**: parallel agents edit the same files without worktrees.
- **No product artifact**: the process produces docs but no runnable or publishable surface.
## Output Standard
Finish each orchestration pass with:
- Board/card changes.
- Merged or pending branches.
- Tests and eval evidence.
- Blockers with owner and next action.
- New shared skill candidates.
Use when a project spans agents, branches, worktrees, or sessions and needs visible ownership and integration criteria. It is also useful when parallel work is producing results that are difficult to review or merge.
• Agent Kanban cards
• Handoff and test evidence
• Merge status and blockers
1. Shape work into scoped cards with owners and acceptance criteria.
2. Assign boundaries and gather evidence as agents work.
3. Review gates, resolve blockers, and record merge status.
No specific runtime is required by the guidance. A shared board or status artifact and access to relevant branches, worktrees, tests, and handoffs are needed to track execution.
Use the skill below to organise [PROJECT] into work items for an agent team. Define owners, boundaries, acceptance criteria, evidence and handoffs. Start with a proposed board, not execution.
Automatically starting agents, merging branches or changing ownership without authority.
M11 added multi-agent routing, execution boundaries, prerequisite context and stable packaging around the unchanged orchestration guidance.
