What it does
Canvasight Agent Team is an agent skill from Niall-Young/Canvasight. Follow Canvasight's Agent Team, role-registry, and agent-report protocol. Use when a Canvasight Run payload has structuredContent.agentTeam.enabled true, or when the user explicitly asks to enable, disable, configure, audit, or include Canvasight Agent Team, ROSTER.md, agent reports, issue reports, solution reports, integration summaries, or the AGENTS.md + role-registry + agent-reports collaboration workflow. Do not use for normal Canvasight opening, Run payload handling, graph writing, troubleshooting, or…
Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/agent-selection.md`, `references/agent-team-schema.json` and `references/report-protocol.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files. The repository describes itself as: 用于梳理任务然后交付给 AI 工具的 plugin 插件. The licence is MIT.

- The user explicitly asks to enable
- Include Canvasight Agent Team
- Solution reports

- “/canvasight-agent-team”

Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f47e0bf. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
node
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Canvasight Agent Team loads about 959 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 150 tokens; SKILL.md has 463 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

- canvasight-agent-team
- description
- Follow Canvasight's Agent Team, role-registry, and agent-report protocol. Use when a Canvasight Run payload has structuredContent.agentTeam.enabled true, or when the user explicitly asks to enable, disable, configure, audit, or include Canvasight Agent Team, ROSTER.md, agent reports, issue reports, solution reports, integration summaries, or the AGENTS.md + role-registry + agent-reports collaboration workflow. Do not use for normal Canvasight opening, Run payload handling, graph writing, troubleshooting, or ordinary code changes unless this protocol is explicitly involved.
Codex Agent Team Skill
Use this skill when Canvasight asks Codex to run with Agent Team enabled, or when the user explicitly works on the Agent Team report protocol.
Workflow
- Read
structuredContent.agentTeam, then the target project'sAGENTS.mdwhen it exists. - Read
references/agent-team-schema.json; it is the authoritative contract for role names, field names, statuses, paths, and queue columns. - Read
ROSTER.mdfor durable role-seat state, then linked reports and the latest integration summary before rebuilding a role on a new thread. - Before accepting, blocking, solving, or handing off an issue, read its latest
owner,status, andversion. Do not write against a stale snapshot. - Use
references/agent-selection.mdto select only the roles needed for the current work andreferences/report-protocol.mdfor write-back rules. - Keep the main thread responsible for integration, conflict handling, validation, and final delivery. After it freezes a verified commit-ready scope, have the Project Management Agent perform the scoped Git closure defined in the references; if that seat is unavailable, the main thread must perform the same closure.
ROSTER.md preserves role-seat state, not a thread-local subagent process. Do not create every role by default; recreate only the seats required for the current work.
Required Boundaries
- Keep
canvasight-agent-teamas the Canvasight compatibility name; it packages the upstream Codex Agent Team protocol. - If Agent Team work uses fixed roles,
ROSTER.mdis required. Create or repair it before relying on a persistent role seat. - Report files are the source of truth for issue ownership, state, dependencies, and validation evidence.
ROSTER.mdis the source of truth for role-seat runtime mapping.agent-reports/QUEUE.mdis a derived index only. - When an issue and roster disagree about issue ownership, keep the report as authoritative and synchronize the roster after the report write succeeds. When a queue row disagrees with a report, regenerate the queue row from the report.
- A single issue has exactly one active
owner. A role may not take it over without an explicit handoff, blocker-driven reassignment, or main-thread reassignment recorded in the issue. - Use optimistic concurrency for every report write: re-read the expected
versionimmediately before editing, increment it withupdated_at, and abort/re-read if it changed.updated_atis audit metadata, not the write guard. - Write in this order: report -> affected roster seat -> derived queue. Never update the queue first.
- Use stable schema role names in reports.
Main Threadis the only reserved coordinator that need not have a roster seat. - Run
node scripts/validate-agent-team.mjs --root <project-root>before delivering changes to a project that uses this protocol. - Do not leave verified task-owned changes at
commit: pendingmerely because the main thread owns final delivery. Finish selective staging and commit unless a documented Git-closure exception applies. - If a project already has a conflicting collaboration protocol, preserve it, record the conflict, and ask for direction before replacing it.
