At a glance

Spawns a chosen number of coordinated agents on a shared task list and runs them through plan, requirements, execution, verification and fix stages.

  • Works in 8 steps: Parse Input → Analyze & Decompose → Create Team → …
  • Splitting a large refactor or migration across several parallel agents
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, When NOT to Use, Usage and Architecture, plus 6 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

This skill starts several agents that work from one shared task list, using VS Code's native subagent system for team management, messaging between agents and task dependencies. You call it with a slash command such as /team 3:executor followed by the task, choosing how many agents to run (1 to 20, sized automatically if left out) and optionally which agent type handles the execution stage.

Work moves through a staged pipeline: team-plan, team-prd, team-exec, team-verify and a team-fix loop. A lead picks specialist agents for each stage, for example an explorer and planner for planning and a verifier for checks, and security-sensitive or very large changes must also get a security reviewer and a code reviewer. An optional ralph flag wraps the team in a retry loop with verification. The skill itself says to skip it for single-file edits and strictly sequential work.

When your agent uses it

  • Splitting a large refactor or migration across several parallel agents
  • Fixing a batch of TypeScript errors spread over many modules
  • Running multi-service work through plan, execute and verify stages
  • Adding a retry-until-verified loop around a decomposed task

Example prompts

  • “Spawn 3 executor agents to fix all TypeScript errors in the monorepo.”
  • “Start a team of 4 designers to implement responsive layouts across the dashboard pages.”
  • “Use a team to refactor the auth module, with verification before it reports done.”

Requirements

  • VS Code with its native subagent system

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Parse Input
  2. Analyze & Decompose
  3. Create Team
  4. Create Tasks
  5. Spawn Workers
  6. Monitor
  7. Stage Transitions
  8. Completion

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0109168. 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 (its code samples are json and markdown).

    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

Team Agent Pipeline loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 579 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

Team

Spawn N coordinated agents working on a shared task list. Uses VS Code's native subagent system for team management, inter-agent messaging, and task dependencies.

When to Use

  • Task is decomposable into independent subtasks
  • Multiple files/modules need parallel work
  • Large-scale refactoring, migration, or multi-service work

When NOT to Use

  • Single-file changes → use /omg-autopilot or direct editing
  • Sequential pipeline → use /omg-autopilot
  • Just need a plan → use /plan or /ralplan

Usage

/team 3:executor "fix all TypeScript errors"
/team 4:designer "implement responsive layouts"
/team "refactor the auth module"
/team ralph "build a complete REST API"
Parameters
  • N — Number of agents (1-20). Defaults to auto-sizing.
  • agent-type — Agent for team-exec stage (executor, debugger, designer, etc.). Defaults to stage-aware routing.
  • ralph — Wraps team in Ralph's persistence loop (retry on failure, verification before completion).
  • task — High-level task to decompose and distribute.

              +-- Monitor loop (messages + task polling)
              |
              +-- Completion → shutdown workers → cleanup

Staged Pipeline

team-plan → team-prd → team-exec → team-verify → team-fix (loop)

Stage Agent Routing

Each stage uses specialized agents — not just executors:

StageRequired AgentsOptional Agents
team-plan@explore, @planner@analyst, @architect
team-prd@analyst@critic
team-exec@executor@debugger, @designer, @writer, @test-engineer
team-verify@verifier@test-engineer, @security-reviewer, @code-reviewer
team-fix@executor@debugger

Routing rules:

  1. Lead picks agents per stage, not the user. User's N:agent-type only overrides team-exec workers.
  2. Specialist agents complement executors. Route analysis to @architect, UI to @designer.
  3. Security-sensitive or >20 file changes must include @security-reviewer + @code-reviewer in team-verify.
Stage Entry/Exit Criteria
  • team-plan: Entry = invocation. Exit = task graph ready.
  • team-prd: Entry = scope ambiguous. Exit = acceptance criteria explicit.
  • team-exec: Entry = tasks created + workers spawned. Exit = tasks reach terminal state.
  • team-verify: Entry = execution pass done. Exit (pass) = gates pass. Exit (fail) = fix tasks generated.
  • team-fix: Entry = defects found. Exit = fixes done, return to team-verify.
Verify/Fix Loop

Continue team-exec → team-verify → team-fix until:

  1. Verification passes with no required fixes, or
  2. Max fix attempts exceeded (default: 3) → terminal failed

Workflow

Phase 1: Parse Input
  • Extract N (agent count, validate 1-20)
  • Extract agent-type
  • Extract task description
  • Check for ralph modifier
Phase 2: Analyze & Decompose

Use @explore or @architect to analyze the codebase and break the task into N subtasks:

  • Each subtask should be file-scoped or module-scoped
  • Subtasks must be independent or have clear dependencies
  • Each needs a concise subject and detailed description
Phase 3: Create Team

Write team state via omg_write_state:

json
{
  "mode": "team",
  "active": true,
  "team_name": "fix-ts-errors",
  "agent_count": 3,
  "current_phase": "team-plan",
  "task": "fix all TypeScript errors"
}
Show full SKILL.md (232 more words)Show less
Phase 4: Create Tasks

Create subtasks with dependencies. Pre-assign owners to avoid race conditions.

Phase 5: Spawn Workers

Spawn N subagents in parallel using the agents field references:

  • Each worker gets team preamble + assigned tasks
  • Workers execute independently and report back
Phase 6: Monitor

Monitor via two channels:

  1. Inbound messages — workers report completion or need help
  2. Task polling — check overall progress periodically

Coordination actions:

  • Unblock a worker with guidance
  • Reassign work if a worker finishes early
  • Handle failures — reassign or spawn replacement

Watchdog policy:

  • Task stuck >5 min without messages → send status check
  • No messages >10 min → reassign task
  • Worker fails 2+ tasks → stop assigning to it
Phase 7: Stage Transitions

Update state on every stage transition via omg_write_state.

Phase 8: Completion
  1. Signal shutdown to all workers
  2. Wait for responses (15s timeout)
  3. Clean up team resources and state
  4. Report summary

Stage Handoff Convention

Each stage produces a handoff document before transitioning:

markdown
## Handoff: <current-stage> → <next-stage>
- **Decided**: [key decisions]
- **Rejected**: [alternatives and why]
- **Risks**: [identified risks]
- **Files**: [key files modified]
- **Remaining**: [items for next stage]

Handoffs saved to .omc/handoffs/<stage-name>.md. Survive cancellation for resume.

Team + Ralph Composition

When ralph modifier is present:

  1. Ralph creates PRD with stories
  2. Each story executed as a team pipeline
  3. Team verify/fix loop satisfies story acceptance criteria
  4. Ralph verifies story completion
  5. Next story begins

State Tracking

Track in .omc/state/team-state.json via omg_write_state/omg_read_state.

Resume and Cancel

  • Resume: Restart from last non-terminal stage using state + handoffs
  • Cancel: /cancel → graceful shutdown → cleanup → state preserved/cleared per policy
