At a glance

Walks a non-technical user through creating or joining a TeamAI team repo, then managing members, roles, MCP, and environment settings.

  • Works in 4 steps: Always use a full URL for the team repo… → Don't limit which AI tools get set up —… → teamai init ends with a pull. In user… → …
  • Setting up a new TeamAI team from scratch
  • SKILL.md covers Before anything, Rules for these flows and References
  • Calls node; reaches github.com

What it does

This skill runs the commands on the user's behalf since they may not know Git, never explaining branches, commits, or clones. It routes a user either to creating a team repo as its admin or to joining an existing one with a repo URL from that admin, and detects the Git provider among Tencent TGit, GitHub, GitLab, and CNB to apply provider-specific setup notes.

Unless the user names specific tools, it sets up every AI tool already installed on the machine rather than restricting the install to one, and after initial setup it covers inviting members, publishing skills, rules, MCP, and environment config, managing roles, troubleshooting, and uninstalling, each through its own reference file.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up a new TeamAI team from scratch
  • Joining an existing TeamAI team with or without a repo URL
  • Managing TeamAI members, roles, or environment settings
  • Removing TeamAI from a machine

Example prompts

  • “Set up TeamAI for my team and create the repo.”
  • “I need to join my team's TeamAI, here's the repo URL.”
  • “Invite a new member and give them the editor role.”
  • “Uninstall TeamAI from this machine.”

Requirements

  • Node.js 20 or newer
  • teamai CLI installed via npm

Workflow steps

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

  1. Always use a full URL for the team repo (e.g.
  2. Don't limit which AI tools get set up — cover all of them by default.
  3. teamai init ends with a pull. In user scope, and in project scope for each
  4. Finish with teamai doctor. Every setup or onboarding flow ends by running

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3f11504. 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:

    • node

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

TeamAI Setup and Lifecycle loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~15k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 584 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~15k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 584 words (~1,237 tokens).

“You run the commands; the user only makes choices when you ask. They may not know Git — never explain branches, commits or clones.”
