# suede-agent-teams

Skill for coordinating multiple agents in one project: assigns tasks to parallel streams, detects file conflicts, gates quality checks before handoff. Use when a single codebase needs parallel agent work without file collisions.

## What it does

suede-agent-teams splits complex work into coordinated streams—each agent gets its own file scope, input, and deliverable. The system tracks which files each stream touches and prevents two agents from editing the same file at once: it either sequences them or merges the task into a single stream.

The skill shapes the team roster: Scout, Builder, and Handoff Writer by default. Add a Code Reviewer for risk assessment, Design Reviewer for visual changes, or Release Verifier for public releases. Every stream logs to `.suede-team/<slug>/ledger.md`, recording status, gate results, and proof of what shipped.

Quality checks (gate policy) are recommendations, not blocks: the system completes the action as requested but reports risks and findings alongside it. Exception: critical hazards like credential exposure or data loss pause the run and present options. Beyond that, verdicts are advice.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill suede-agent-teams -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/suede-agent-teams/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/suede-agent-teams/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill suede-agent-teams -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/suede-agent-teams/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill suede-agent-teams -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/suede-agent-teams/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills suede-agent-teams
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/suede-agent-teams/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill suede-agent-teams -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --path skills/suede-agent-teams
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/suede-agent-teams/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill suede-agent-teams -a opencode
```

### 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/JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/suede-agent-teams/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- divide a large task across multiple agents without file conflicts
- track which agent touched each file and in what order
- verify code quality before merging to a shared repository
- roll back one stream's changes without affecting others
- run a repeatable contribution program on public repos with automatic task scoring

## Example prompts
- Split the task into frontend, backend, and test streams—one agent per stream, each owns its folder, no overlap.
- Launch the orchestrator on feature/auth to parallelize login and session work while blocking file collisions.
- Check a pull request for merge readiness: run the skill with a code reviewer and release verifier, get back a report with risks and findings.

description: "Suede AI agent-team orchestrator, the method behind multi-agent automation: split complex work into coordinated lanes with explicit file ownership, WIP collision detection, quality gates, escalation thresholds, rollback plans, and handoffs that prove what shipped. Use when one shared change needs safe parallel ownership across builders and reviewers, when a lane map must be resolved before anyone opens a file, or when running a repeatable public-repository contribution program with issue scoring, atomic task leases, isolated worktrees, and explicit publication authority. NOT FOR: one repo change a bundled DAG can run end to end (use suede-graph-flo-xr); reviewing or grading a diff (use suede-code); CI, branch protection, or merge-gate wiring (use suede-ci-gate); picking which single skill fits a request (use suede-workflow-skills)."

# Agent Team Orchestrator

## Model selection: Fable capped at 4 without asking

Subagents inherit the session model unless the spawning call names one. Nothing in
this skill picks a model, so every agent it fans out lands on whatever the session
happens to be set to. That is how a run sized against one allocation gets billed to
another without anyone choosing it.

**Up to 4 concurrent Fable subagents are allowed without an explicit Fable
instruction. Beyond that, Fable must be specified**: any roster past a scout, a
builder, and a handoff writer passes 4, so this skill's fan-out does not run on Fable
unless the user named Fable for this run. An inherited session model is not a
specification: "the session was already on it" is not the user asking. Absent an
explicit Fable instruction, do one of two things before launching: name a different
model on the agent calls, or state plainly that the run will bill to the Fable
allocation and get an answer. Silence is not consent to spend it.

## Gate policy: advisory, not blocking

Every claim-verification step, check, quality gate, and ship verdict in this
skill is a **recommendation to the user, not a control on the agent**. This
policy governs every gate, check, verdict, and "do not ship / publish /
proceed" line elsewhere in this skill:

- Run every check and report the results honestly. Verdicts (`ship`,
  `ship-with-caveats`, `hold`, letter grades, BLOCKED or OPEN items) are
```
