11 - Agent Teams
Overview
Agent teams enable collaborative multi-agent orchestration. A team consists of a lead agent and one or more member agents. The lead orchestrates work by creating tasks on a shared task board and delegating them to members. Members execute tasks independently and report results back. Communication happens through a built-in mailbox system.
Teams build on top of the delegation system (see 03-tools-system.md Section 7) by adding structured coordination: task tracking, parallel work distribution, and result aggregation.

Key Design Principles
- Lead-centric: Only the lead receives
TEAM.mdin its system prompt with full orchestration instructions. Members discover context on demand through tools — no wasted tokens on idle agents. - Mandatory task tracking: Every delegation from a lead must be linked to a task on the board. The system enforces this — delegations without a
team_task_idare rejected. - Auto-completion: When a delegation finishes, its linked task is automatically marked as complete. No manual bookkeeping required.
- Parallel batching: When multiple members work simultaneously, results are collected and delivered to the lead in a single combined announcement.
2. Team Lifecycle

MANAGE["Admin manages team"] --> ADD["Add member<br/>→ auto-link lead→member"]
MANAGE --> REMOVE["Remove member<br/>→ link remains (manual cleanup)"]
MANAGE --> DELETE["Delete team<br/>→ team_id cleared from links"]
Creation Process
- Resolve lead agent by key or UUID
- Resolve all member agents
- Create team record with
status=active - Add lead as member with
role=lead - Add each member with
role=member - Auto-create outbound agent links from lead to each member (direction: outbound, max_concurrent: 3, marked with
team_id) - Invalidate agent router caches so TEAM.md is injected on next request
When a member is added later, the same auto-linking happens. Links created by team setup are tagged with team_id — this distinguishes them from manually created delegation links.
3. Lead vs Member Roles
The lead and members have fundamentally different responsibilities and tool access.

What the Lead Sees (TEAM.md)
The lead's system prompt includes a TEAM.md section containing:
- Team name and description
- Complete list of teammates with their roles and expertise (from
frontmatter) - Mandatory workflow instructions: always create a task first, then delegate with the task ID
- Orchestration patterns: sequential (A→B), iterative (A→B→A), parallel (A+B→review), mixed
- Communication guidelines: notify user when assigning work, share progress on follow-up rounds
What Members See (TEAM.md)
Members get a simpler version:
- Team name and teammate list
- Instructions to focus on executing delegated work
- How to send progress updates to the lead via mailbox
- Available task board actions (list, get, search — no create/delegate)
4. Task Board
The task board is a shared work tracker accessible to all team members via the team_tasks tool.

Atomic Claiming
Two agents grabbing the same task is prevented at the database level. The claim operation uses a conditional update: SET status = 'in_progress', owner = agent WHERE status = 'pending' AND owner IS NULL. One row updated means claimed; zero rows means someone else got it first. No distributed mutex needed.
Blocker Escalation
Members can flag themselves as blocked on a task by adding a blocker comment:
team_tasks(action="comment", task_id="...", text="Cannot find API documentation", type="blocker")
When a blocker comment is posted:
- The comment is saved with
comment_type='blocker' - The task is auto-failed (status: in_progress → failed)
- An
EventTeamTaskFailedis broadcast:- Member's session is cancelled via scheduler
- Chat channel receives "❌ Task failed" notification
- Web UI dashboard updates in real-time
- The lead agent receives an escalation message from
system:escalationwith:- Blocked member name
- Task number and subject
- Blocker reason
- Instructions to retry with
team_tasks(action="retry", task_id="...")
Blocker escalation is enabled by default but can be disabled per-team via settings:
{
"blocker_escalation": {
"enabled": false
}
}
When disabled, blocker comments are saved but do not trigger auto-fail or escalation.
Task Dependencies & Blocking
Tasks can declare blocked_by — a list of prerequisite task IDs. When a task has blocking dependencies:
- Task enters
blockedstatus (distinct frompending) - Task remains blocked until ALL prerequisites are completed
- When a blocking task completes, all dependent tasks with now-satisfied blockers automatically transition from
blocked→pending - Cancelled tasks (via
cancelorreject) also unblock their dependents
The blocked status is one of 8 possible statuses: pending, in_progress, in_review, completed, failed, cancelled, blocked, stale.

Custom JSON for task snapshots, peer_kind, local_key, team_workspace |
user_id, chat_id, channel |

Result summary when completed |
Task Snapshots
Completed tasks automatically store snapshots in metadata for UI board visualization:
{
"snapshot": {
"completed_at": "2026-03-16T12:34:56Z",
"result_preview": "First 100 chars of result...",
"final_status": "completed",
"ai_summary": "Brief AI-generated summary of what was accomplished"
}
}
The board displays these snapshots in a visual timeline, allowing users to review completed work at a glance.
Delegate Agent Restrictions
Guards that previously prevented delegate agents from directly completing, cancelling, or approving/rejecting tasks are currently commented out (reserved for a future reviewer workflow). At this time, these restrictions are not enforced at runtime. A future implementation may re-enable them when a structured reviewer/approval flow is introduced.
Assignee is Mandatory
When creating a task via team_tasks(action="create"), the assignee field is required. This specifies which team member should handle the task. If omitted, error: "assignee is required — specify which team member should handle this task"
Concurrent Creation Guard
Agents must check existing tasks before creating new ones. This prevents duplicate task creation in concurrent sessions. The preferred method is team_tasks(action="search", query="<keywords>") which uses semantic + keyword matching and saves tokens vs listing all. Alternatively action="list" shows the full board. When an agent calls create without first checking:
- Error:
"You must check existing tasks first. Call team_tasks(action='search', query='<keywords>') to check for similar tasks before creating — this saves tokens vs listing all."
Auto-Claiming Behavior
When an agent calls complete on a pending task, the task is automatically claimed first. This saves an extra tool call:
- Agent calls
completeon task inpendingstatus - System atomically claims the task (pending → in_progress, assign to agent)
- System marks as
completed - Returns success in one action
This is safe because the claim is atomic — only one agent can succeed.
User & Channel Scoping
- System/teammate channels: See all tasks for the team
- Regular user channels: Filter to tasks they triggered (filtered by user ID)
- Scope discovery:
teams.scopeslists all unique channel+chatID scopes across tasks - Known users:
teams.known_userslists distinct user IDs from team member sessions (UI user select) - Pagination: 30 tasks per page for lists
- Result truncation: 8,000 characters for
get, 500 characters for search snippets
Comments, Events & Attachments
Task Comments
Humans and agents can add comments to provide feedback or clarification:
handleTaskComment(human adds comment via dashboard)- Comments stored with author ID (agent_id or user_id), creation timestamp
- Emits
EventTeamTaskCommentedevent - Visible in task detail page
Task Events
Audit trail of all task state changes:
- Event types:
created,assigned,completed,approved,rejected,commented,failed,cancelled,stale,recovered - Each event records actor type (agent or human), actor ID, timestamp, and optional metadata
- Used for compliance audits and UI activity timeline
Task Attachments
Workspace files can be attached to tasks:
- Attach action links workspace file (by file ID) to task
- Auto-links files created during task execution
- Metadata captures which agent/user attached the file
Review Workflow
Tasks can require human approval before final completion. When creating a task, pass require_approval: true:
team_tasks(action="create", ..., require_approval=true)
Flow:
- Create with approval flag: Task created with status
pending,require_approvalset - Member submits for review: When done, member calls
team_tasks(action="review", task_id="...")- Task transitions to
in_reviewstatus - Emits
EventTeamTaskReviewedevent
- Task transitions to
- Human approves: Via dashboard, human clicks "Approve" →
teams.tasks.approveRPC- Task transitions to
completed - Emits
EventTeamTaskApprovedevent
- Task transitions to
- Human rejects: Via dashboard, human clicks "Reject" with reason →
teams.tasks.rejectRPC- Task transitions to
cancelledwith reason - Emits
EventTeamTaskRejectedevent - Lead receives notification to retry or investigate
- Task transitions to
Without require_approval, tasks move directly to completed after member calls complete (no in-review stage).
5. Team Mailbox
The mailbox enables peer-to-peer communication between team members via the team_message tool. Messages flow through the message bus with a "teammate:" prefix and are delivered as inbound messages to the target agent's session, routed through the team scheduler lane. The response is published back to the originating channel so the user (and lead) can see it.
Sending a direct message targets a specific teammate by agent key. The lead uses this to assign tasks by reference, redirect work, or ask clarifying questions. Members use it to report partial progress, flag blockers, or request context from the lead. Cross-coordination between members working on related tasks is also common.
Broadcasting delivers a message to all teammates except the sender. The lead uses broadcast to share context updates — new requirements, revised scope, or intermediate results — so all members can incorporate them without requiring the lead to message each one individually.
Reading fetches unread messages and automatically marks them as read. Agents check their mailbox as part of their normal turn execution, processing queued messages from peers before continuing with assigned work.
6. Team Workspace
Each team has a shared workspace for storing files produced during task execution. Workspace scoping is configurable per team.
Workspace Modes
| Mode | Directory Structure | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Isolated (default) | {dataDir}/teams/{teamID}/{chatID}/ |
Per-conversation file isolation; each user/chat has own folder |
| Shared | {dataDir}/teams/{teamID}/ |
All team members access same folder; no user/chat isolation |
Configure via team settings workspace_scope: "shared" (default: "isolated").
Workspace Access
Team members have file tools access to their team workspace:
- Read: List files, read file content
- Write: Create and update files (auto-linked to task)
- Delete: Remove files from workspace
When a member writes a file during task execution, it's automatically:
- Stored in team workspace with metadata
- Linked to the active task (task_id)
- Visible to other team members on task detail page
WorkspaceDir Context
During task dispatch, tool context is injected with the team workspace path, team ID, active task ID, and the task's origin channel and chat ID. File tools use this context to resolve workspace paths and auto-link created files to the active task.
Quota & Limits
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Max file size | 10 MB |
| Max files per scope | 100 |
| Directory creation | Automatic (0750 permissions) |
7. Task Dispatch Integration
Teams use a task-board-driven dispatch model. The lead creates tasks with an assignee; the system auto-dispatches to the assigned member agent via the message bus. The legacy spawn(agent=..., team_task_id=...) flow has been removed — spawn now only supports self-clone subagents.

DISPATCH_A --> RUN_A["Member A works"]
DISPATCH_B --> RUN_B["Member B works"]
end
Dispatch Mechanism
Task dispatch uses dispatchTaskToAgent() (team_tool_dispatch.go) which publishes an inbound message via the message bus:
- Post-turn dispatch (default): Tasks created during a lead's turn are queued via
PendingTeamDispatchFromCtxand dispatched after the turn ends. This avoids race conditions withblocked_bysetup. - Fallback dispatch: If no post-turn hook is available (e.g., HTTP API context), the task is assigned and dispatched immediately.
- Routing: Uses
task.Channel/task.ChatIDas primary source, falling back to context values for initial dispatch.
Spawn Rejection
The spawn tool no longer accepts an agent parameter. If an LLM attempts spawn(agent="member"), it receives an error directing it to use team_tasks(action="create", assignee="member") instead.
Dispatch Safety
- Lead self-dispatch guard: Tasks assigned to the lead agent are auto-failed (prevents dual-session loop).
- Circuit breaker: Tasks auto-fail after 3 dispatch attempts (
maxTaskDispatches). Prevents infinite loops when agents can't complete a task. - Dispatch count tracking: Each dispatch increments
metadata.dispatch_count.
Auto-Completion
When a member calls team_tasks(action="complete"):
- Task marked as
completedwith result summary - Files created during execution are auto-linked to the task
- Workspace events recorded (modified/created file events)
DispatchUnblockedTasksruns — pending tasks with satisfied blockers are auto-dispatched- Only one task per owner dispatched per round (priority-ordered) to prevent cancellation bugs
Unblocked Task Dispatch
DispatchUnblockedTasks() runs after task completion/cancellation:
- Finds pending tasks with assigned owners (ordered by priority DESC)
- Dispatches highest-priority task per owner (one at a time)
- Appends completed blocker results and recent comments to dispatch content
- Restores leader's trace context from task metadata for proper trace linking
- Remaining tasks stay pending until the current one completes
Dispatch Content
Each dispatched task includes in its message to the member:
- Task number, ID, subject, and description
- Team workspace path (if configured)
- List of attached files (from task metadata)
- Instructions for available actions: progress, comment, blocker, complete
- Completed blocker results (for unblocked tasks)
- Recent comments (for re-dispatched tasks after reject/retry)
8. TEAM.md — System-Injected Context
TEAM.md is a virtual file generated at agent resolution time. It is not stored on disk or in the database — it's rendered dynamically based on the current team configuration and injected into the system prompt wrapped in <system_context> tags.
Generation Trigger
During agent resolution, if the agent belongs to a team:
- Load team data
- Load team members
- Generate TEAM.md with role-appropriate content
- Inject as a context file
Content Differences
| Section | Lead | Member |
|---|---|---|
| Team name + description | Yes | Yes |
| Teammate list with roles | Yes | Yes |
| Mandatory workflow (create→delegate) | Yes | No |
| Orchestration patterns | Yes | No |
| Communication guidelines | Yes | No |
| Task board actions (full) | Yes | Limited |
| "Just do the work" instructions | No | Yes |
| Progress update guidance | No | Yes |
Orchestration Patterns (Lead Only)
The lead's TEAM.md describes three orchestration patterns:
- Sequential: Member A finishes → lead reviews → delegates to Member B with A's output
- Iterative: Member A drafts → Member B reviews → back to A with feedback
- Mixed: Members A+B work in parallel → lead reviews combined output → delegates to C
Negative Context Injection
If an agent is NOT part of any team AND has no delegation targets, the system injects negative context:
- "You are NOT part of any team. Do not use team_tasks or team_message tools."
- "You have NO delegation targets. Do not use spawn with agent parameter."
This prevents wasted LLM iterations probing unavailable capabilities.
9. Message Routing
Team messages flow through the message bus with specific routing rules.

end
Routing Prefixes
| Prefix | Source | Destination | Scheduler Lane |
|---|---|---|---|
delegate: |
Delegation completion (legacy session key format) | Parent agent's original session | team |
teammate: |
Team mailbox message | Target agent's session | team |
Session Context Preservation
When a delegation or team message completes, the result is routed back to the original user session (not a new session). This is achieved through metadata propagation:
origin_channel: The channel where the user sent the message (e.g., telegram)origin_peer_kind: DM or group contextorigin_local_key: Thread/topic context for correct routing (e.g., forum topic ID)
This ensures results land in the correct conversation thread, even in Telegram forum topics or Feishu thread discussions.
10. Access Control
Teams support fine-grained access control through team settings.
Team-Level Settings
| Setting | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
allow_user_ids |
String list | Only these users can trigger team work |
deny_user_ids |
String list | These users are blocked (deny takes priority) |
allow_channels |
String list | Only messages from these channels trigger team work |
deny_channels |
String list | Block messages from these channels |
workspace_scope |
String | "isolated" (default) or "shared" — file scope mode |
workspace_quota_mb |
Integer | Max workspace size in MB (optional) |
progress_notifications |
Boolean | Emit progress_notification events |
followup_interval_minutes |
Integer | Ask_user reminder interval |
followup_max_reminders |
Integer | Max ask_user reminders before escalation |
escalation_mode |
String | How to escalate stale tasks: "notify_lead", "fail_task" |
escalation_actions |
String list | Actions to take on escalation |
blocker_escalation |
Object | Blocker comment escalation settings: {enabled: true} (default enabled) |
System channels (teammate, system) always pass access checks. Empty settings mean open access.
Link-Level Settings
Each delegation link (lead→member) has its own settings:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
UserAllow |
Only these users can trigger this specific delegation |
UserDeny |
Block these users from this delegation (deny takes priority) |
Concurrency Limits
| Layer | Scope | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Per-link | Simultaneous delegations from lead to a specific member | 3 |
| Per-agent | Total concurrent delegations targeting any single member | 5 |
When limits are hit, the error message is written for LLM reasoning: "Agent at capacity (5/5). Try a different agent or handle it yourself."
11. Agent Links & Delegation Graph (v3)
Agent links define directed delegation relationships between agents, separate from team membership. Each link tracks:
- Source agent (can delegate to)
- Target agent (can receive delegations from)
- Direction (outbound from source, inbound to target)
- Team context (optional
team_idif created by team setup) - Concurrency limit (max simultaneous delegations for this link)
Team-created links are automatically created when a team is set up (lead → each member). Links remain even if the team is deleted or members are removed, allowing manual cleanup.
Delegation graph visibility — agents can query available delegation targets via the delegation system. The graph determines which agents appear in the spawn tool's available targets.
12. Delegation Context
SenderID Clearing
In sync delegations, the delegate agent's context has the senderID cleared. This is critical because delegations are system-initiated — the delegate should not inherit the caller's group writer permissions, which would incorrectly deny file writes. Each delegate agent has its own writer list.
Trace Linking
Delegation traces are linked to the parent trace through parent_trace_id. This allows the tracing system to show the full delegation chain: user request → lead processing → member delegation → member execution.
Workspace & Task Context
Delegation context includes team workspace and task information so member agents can:
- Access the team workspace directory (if configured)
- Auto-link files created to the active task
- Record task progress and comments
- Route results back to the correct user/chat
Context keys injected:
tool_team_id: Team UUID for team_tasks/team_message toolstool_team_workspace: Shared workspace directory path (or empty for isolated mode)tool_team_task_id: Active task UUID for workspace file linkingtool_workspace_channel: Task's origin channel (for routing)tool_workspace_chat_id: Task's origin chat ID (for routing)
