# ae-team

A reference skill for ae-cli: manage agent teams and run TeamRuns. Useful when the agent should find a team itself and carry a task through to artifacts.

## What it does

The skill documents `ae-cli`, the command line for the AE (Agentic Engine) platform. Two groups of commands: team management (`+list`, `+create`, `+update`, `+delete`, `+ai-generate`, `+list-templates`, `+list-projects`) and TeamRun execution (`+run-start`, `+run-watch`, `+run-chat`, `+run-cancel`, `+run-reply`, `+run-result`, `+run-artifacts`).

Before any call the agent must read `references/<command>.md`, where the filename matches the command without the plus. Team IDs, run IDs and config JSON must never be guessed — they come from `+list` or `+list-templates`. That rule is where the skill breaks first if the step gets skipped.

Output is JSON by default, with `--format table`, a `--jq` filter, `--host` to override the active AE host and `--dry-run` to inspect the request. Deleting a team goes through a confirmation gate and needs `--yes`; active runs return 409. A `waiting_user` status means a pause: `+run-watch` exits with code 2, so show the question to the user and answer with `+run-reply`.

```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/ThinkingAIAgenticEngine/ae-cli/tree/HEAD/skills/ae-team/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Skipping `references/<command>.md` before a call — the agent invents parameters and fails.
- Made-up team IDs and run IDs instead of real ones from `+list`.
- Deleting a team without `--yes`, or while runs are active — 409.

## Example prompts
- List the available agent teams with `ae-cli team +list` and show them as a table.
- Start a TeamRun for a team from the list and follow its status with `+run-watch`.
- Show the artifacts from the last completed run.
