What it does

The agent acts as team leader. When team_create is available it makes one team and one self-contained task per investigation workstream, spawns named read-only teammates (three at most is preferred, and never above the configured cap), lets them share findings through send_message and the shared task list, and accepts or rejects each result on its evidence. Read-only workers have a runtime-enforced allowlist with no shell, file writes, memory saves, schedules or agent spawning.

If code must change, the leader finishes the investigation first, shuts down the investigators, calls enter_worktree once, and spawns exactly one general-purpose writer working inside that path. The leader then reviews the result and alone decides how to integrate it. When the checkout is not a Git repository or worktree creation fails, every teammate stays read-only and the leader makes the final change. The team is shut down and deleted after synthesis.

When your agent uses it

  • Splitting a broad investigation across several parallel read-only agents
  • Making a code change with one isolated writer reviewed by the leader
  • Reconciling conflicting evidence from different investigators

Example prompts

  • “/coordinate Find out why the settings dialog loses state, using one investigator per module.”
  • “/coordinate Investigate three possible causes of the slow startup, then fix the confirmed one.”
  • “/coordinate Review the authentication package for gaps and report findings without changing code.”

Requirements

  • Qwen Code with the team_create tool available
  • A Git repository for the worktree-pinned writer

  2. Spawn named investigation teammates with read_only: true — one per workstream, and prefer three at most. Never exceed the team's…

  4. Accept or reject each result based on its evidence. Reassign rejected work instead of silently using it.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 55ee50d. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Qwen Code Team Coordinator loads about 994 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 540 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~994

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.

Coordinate Qwen Code Teammates

Act as the team leader. Decompose the goal, keep task ownership clear, reconcile disagreements, and deliver the final result.

Build one bounded team

When team_create is available:

  1. Create one team and one self-contained task per current investigation workstream. Do not queue an implementation task while read-only teammates are idle because tasks are auto-assigned.
  2. Spawn named investigation teammates with read_only: true — one per workstream, and prefer three at most. Never exceed the team's configured cap, which team_create reports; spawning past it fails outright. Do not pass model; use the session-default model unless the selected agent definition explicitly overrides it.
  3. Assign tasks and let teammates collaborate through send_message and the shared task list. Send targeted follow-ups when evidence conflicts, a task needs clarification, or a result is incomplete.
  4. Accept or reject each result based on its evidence. Reassign rejected work instead of silently using it.

Read-only teammates have a positive execution allowlist. They cannot use shell, edit or write files, save memory, create schedules, invoke arbitrary deferred tools, or spawn agents. This is enforced by the runtime, not only by this prompt.

Pin the only writer to a worktree

When the goal requires code changes:

  1. Finish the parallel investigation first.
  2. Call request_shutdown for each investigation teammate. Once shutdown is pending, they are excluded from automatic task assignment.
  3. Call enter_worktree once and keep the returned path.
  4. Create the implementation task, then spawn exactly one named writer with subagent_type: "general-purpose" and working_dir: <path>. Do not set read_only for this teammate.
  5. Give the writer the accepted investigation evidence and require all changes to stay inside the worktree.
  6. Review and verify the worktree result. The leader alone decides whether and how to integrate it into the current branch.
  7. Do not remove the worktree until accepted changes have been integrated or deliberately discarded.

If the checkout is not a Git repository or worktree creation fails, keep all teammates read-only and let the leader make the final change in the current checkout.

After synthesis, call request_shutdown for each still-active teammate, then delete the team.

The existing Agent View tabs show teammate conversations, messages, status, and approvals. Do not create another roster, session manager, or terminal UI.

If the Agent Team tools are unavailable, say that experimental.agentTeam must be enabled and Qwen Code restarted. Ordinary subagents are an acceptable fallback for parallel research, but describe them accurately: they report only to the leader and cannot collaborate as a team.

Keep coordination bounded

  • Use one teammate for a narrow task. Past roughly three, the leader spends more of its turn reconciling reports than doing the work, so add a fourth only when the workstreams are genuinely independent — and never past the configured cap.
  • Give every task an objective, scope, completion condition, and required evidence.
  • Default every teammate to read_only: true; add one worktree writer only when implementation is required.
  • Do not use Arena: it is for competing solutions to the same task, not collaboration on different tasks.
  • Do not claim that in-process teammates are independent PTY sessions or heterogeneous CLIs.
  • Finish implementation before running the smallest relevant verification once.

Return the outcome, material evidence or disagreements, changes made by the leader, verification, and remaining risks.

Can I use Qwen Code Team Coordinator in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add QwenLM/qwen-code --skill coordinate -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/coordinate, .gemini/skills/coordinate, .github/skills/coordinate and .opencode/skills/coordinate in your project.

What does Qwen Code Team Coordinator need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Qwen Code Team Coordinator is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Qwen Code with the team_create tool available; A Git repository for the worktree-pinned writer.

Does Qwen Code Team Coordinator access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
