At a glance

Team CLI — manage team members, post messages, and run activity updates.

  • Listing members
  • SKILL.md covers Synopsis, Commands, Team Directory Structure and Team Member File Format, plus 3 more sections
  • Calls git
  • Posting messages

What it does

Team is an agent skill from cluesmith/codev. Team CLI — manage team members, post messages, and run activity updates. ALWAYS check this skill before running any team command. Use when listing members, adding members, posting messages, or running team activity updates. Note - afx team is deprecated; use team directly.

Its SKILL.md is about 800 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Codev helps humans and agents co-develop both the context and the code of the project. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Listing members
  • Posting messages
  • Running team activity updates

Example prompts

  • “/team”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9cd8607. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Team loads about 803 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 247 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~803

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Team CLI — manage team members, post messages, and run activity updates. ALWAYS check this skill before running any `team` command. Use when listing members, adding members, posting messages, or running team activity updates. Note - `afx team` is deprecated; use `team` directly.

team - Team Coordination CLI

Manage team members and messages for your Codev project. Team data is stored in codev/team/ and displayed in the Tower dashboard.

Synopsis

team list
team message <text> [-a <author>]
team update
team add <github-handle> [-n <name>] [-r <role>]

Commands

team list

List all team members from codev/team/people/.

bash
team list

Displays a formatted table with Name, GitHub handle, and Role columns.

team message <text>

Post a message to the team message log (codev/team/messages.md).

bash
team message "Spec 42 is ready for review"
team message "Deployed to staging" -a deploy-bot

Options:

  • -a, --author <name> — Override author (default: auto-detected from gh CLI or git config)
team update

Post an hourly activity summary. Called automatically by cron (.af-cron/team-update.yaml) or manually.

bash
team update

Collects notable events from the last hour (builder spawns, gate approvals, PR merges, completed reviews) and posts a summary. Exits silently if no events occurred.

team add <github-handle>

Scaffold a new team member file.

bash
team add waleedkadous
team add jdoe --name "Jane Doe" --role "Developer"

Options:

  • -n, --name <name> — Full name (default: github handle)
  • -r, --role <role> — Role (default: "Team Member")

Creates codev/team/people/<handle>.md with YAML frontmatter. Handle is normalized to lowercase. Fails if the member already exists.

Team Directory Structure

codev/team/
├── people/
│   ├── waleedkadous.md     # YAML frontmatter + optional bio
│   └── jdoe.md
└── messages.md             # Append-only message log

Team Member File Format

yaml
---
name: M Waleed Kadous
github: waleedkadous
role: Lead Architect
---

Optional freeform bio or notes (not displayed in Tower).

Required frontmatter fields:

  • name — Display name
  • github — GitHub handle (used for API data enrichment)
  • role — Team role (displayed in Tower)

Message Log Format

markdown
# Team Messages

<!-- Append new messages below. Do not edit or delete existing entries. -->

---
**waleedkadous** | 2026-03-09 14:30 UTC
Spec 42 is ready for review.

---
**tower-cron** | 2026-03-09 15:00 UTC
Hourly update: Merged PR #123: Add user auth. Gate approved for #42.

Messages are append-only. Each entry has an author, UTC timestamp, and body text.

Deprecation Note

afx team commands still work but print a deprecation warning. Use team directly:

  • afx team list → team list
  • afx team message → team message
  • afx team update → team update

Setup

To set up a team directory for a new project:

bash
team add first-member --name "First Member" --role "Architect"
team add second-member --name "Second Member" --role "Developer"

The Team tab appears in Tower when 2+ valid members exist.
