Bootstrap and run a multi-agent AI development team with named roles (Producer, Dev Team, QA). Plan sprints, run brainstorms with distinct agent voices, coordinate parallel dev/QA workflows, and survive context overflows with structured handoff templates.

What's Included

Agents

Agent	Mention	Role	Tool Access
Producer (Remy)	`@ai-team-producer`	Sprint planning, coordination, PR merging	Read-only (no code editing)
Dev Team (Nova, Sage, Milo)	`@ai-team-dev`	Frontend, backend, and visual implementation	Full coding tools
QA (Ivy)	`@ai-team-qa`	Testing, bug filing, sign-off	Read + test (no source editing)

Skill

/ai-team-orchestration provides templates for:

PROJECT_BRIEF.md — 14-section single source of truth across chats
Brainstorm format — multi-agent debate with distinct voices
Sprint plans — prioritized tasks, progress trackers, handoff docs
Anti-patterns — 19 documented pitfalls from real multi-agent projects

Quick Start

1. Bootstrap a project

@ai-team-producer I want to build [describe your project].
Use /ai-team-orchestration to bootstrap this project.
Start with a brainstorm, then create PROJECT_BRIEF.md with ALL sections (1-14).

2. Plan a sprint

@ai-team-producer Create Sprint 1 plan. Scope: [what to build].
Run a team consilium to validate the plan.

3. Execute (separate VS Code window)

@ai-team-dev Read PROJECT_BRIEF.md, then docs/sprint-1/plan.md. Execute Sprint 1.

4. Test (another VS Code window)

@ai-team-qa Sprint 1 is merged to main. Do full playthrough.
File bugs as GitHub Issues. Write docs/qa/sprint-1-signoff.md.

How It Works

The human acts as the message bus between parallel chats. Each team works in a separate VS Code window with its own repo clone:

@ai-team-producer — cannot edit code (enforced by tool restrictions)
@ai-team-qa — cannot edit source files, only reads/tests/files bugs
@ai-team-dev — full tools, builds as Nova (frontend), Sage (backend), Milo (design)

Origin
