Use when: starting a new software project with AI agents, setting up parallel dev/QA teams, creating sprint plans, writing brainstorm prompts with distinct agent voices, recovering a project workflow, or planning sprints.","description":"# AI Team Orchestration\n\n## When to Use\n- Starting a new project that needs planning, development, testing, and deployment\n- Setting up parallel AI agent teams (dev, QA, DevOps)\n- Writing brainstorm prompts that produce real debate (not generic output)\n- Creating sprint plans with cross-chat context survival\n- Recovering from context overflow mid-sprint\n\n## Team Roles\n\n| Agent | Name | Role | Focus |\n|-------|------|------|-------|\n| Producer | **Remy** | Sprint planning, coordination, merging PRs | Scope control, handoffs, issue triage |\n| Product Designer | **Kira** | UX, mechanics, user experience | Fun factor, user flows, feature design |\n| Visual/Art Director | **Milo** | CSS, animations, visual identity | Design system, polish, accessibility |\n| Frontend Engineer | **Nova** | UI framework, state management, components | React/Vue/Svelte, client-side logic |\n| Backend Engineer | **Sage** | API, database, auth, security | Server-side logic, infrastructure |\n| DevOps Engineer | **Dash** | CI/CD, cloud deployment, pipelines | GitHub Actions, Azure/AWS/GCP |\n| QA Engineer | **Ivy** | E2E tests, automation, playtesting | Playwright/Cypress, bug filing, sign-off |\n\nCustomize names and roles for your project. Not every project needs all roles.\n\n## Chat Architecture\n\nThe human (CEO) is the message bus between parallel chats:\n\n```\n┌────────────────────────────────────────┐\n│  @ai-team-producer — Plans, merges     │\n│  NEVER writes code                     │\n└────────────────┬───────────────────────┘\n                 │ Human carries messages\n      ┌──────────┼──────────┐\n      ▼          ▼          ▼\n┌──────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐\n│@ai-team  │ │@ai-team│ │DevOps  │\n│-dev      │ │-qa     │ │(on     │\n│          │ │        │ │demand) │\n│ Nova     │ │ Ivy    │ │        │\n│ Sage     │ │        │ │        │\n│ Milo     │ │        │ │        │\n│          │ │feature/│ │feature/│\n│ feature/ │ │qa-N    │ │devops-N│\n│ sprint-N │ └────────┘ └────────┘\n└──────────┘\n```\n\nEach team works in a **separate VS Code window** with its own clone:\n```bash\ngit clone <repo> project-dev    # Dev team\ngit clone <repo> project-qa     # QA\ngit clone <repo> project-devops # DevOps (only when needed)\n```\n\n## Project Bootstrap\n\n### 1. Create PROJECT_BRIEF.md\n\nThe single source of truth across all chats. See the [project brief template](./references/project-brief-template.md).\n\n**Required sections (do not abbreviate):**\n1. Project Overview\n2. Concept / Product Description\n3. Tech Stack\n4. Architecture (ASCII diagram)\n5. Key Files Map\n6. Team Roles\n7. Sprint Status (updated every sprint)\n8. Current State (rewritten every sprint)\n9. Security Rules\n10. How to Run Locally\n11. How to Deploy\n12. **Cross-Chat Handoff Protocol** — how context survives between chats\n13. **Bug & Fix Tracking** — GitHub Issues as single source of truth\n14. **Multi-Repo Setup** — separate clones, branch strategy, merge rules\n\n### 2. Run a Brainstorm\n\nSee the [brainstorm format](./references/brainstorm-format.md). Key: name each agent explicitly with distinct personality and perspective. Require at least 2 genuine disagreements to prevent groupthink.\n\n### 3. Create Sprint Plans\n\nSee the [sprint plan template](./references/sprint-plan-template.md). Every sprint gets:\n- `docs/sprint-N/plan.md` — prioritized tasks, success criteria\n- `docs/sprint-N/progress.md` — live tracker, enables recovery\n- `docs/sprint-N/done.md` — handoff doc written at sprint end\n\n### 4. Execute Sprints\n\n```\nRead PROJECT_BRIEF.md, then read docs/sprint-N/plan.md. Execute Sprint N.\n\nFirst: git pull origin main && git checkout -b feature/sprint-N\n\nClose GitHub Issues in commits: \"fix: description (Fixes #NN)\"\nUpdate docs/sprint-N/progress.md after each phase.\nWhen done, push and create PR: git push origin feature/sprint-N\nFollow Sections 12-14 of PROJECT_BRIEF.md.\n```\n\n### 5. QA Sign-off\n\nAfter dev merges, QA does a full playthrough:\n```\nRead PROJECT_BRIEF.md. You are Ivy (QA).\nSprint N is merged to main. Do full playthrough.\nFile bugs as GitHub Issues. Write docs/qa/sprint-N-signoff.md.\n```\n\n## Context Recovery\n\nWhen a chat gets long (>100 messages), save state and start fresh:\n\n**Before closing:**\n1. Update `docs/sprint-N/progress.md` with current status\n2. Update `PROJECT_BRIEF.md` sections 7+8\n3. Write `docs/sprint-N/done.md`\n\n**Cold start prompt:**\n```\nRead PROJECT_BRIEF.md and docs/sprint-N/progress.md.\nContinue from where it left off.\n```\n\n## Anti-Patterns\n\nSee [anti-patterns reference](./references/anti-patterns.md) for the full list. Top 5:\n\n| Don't | Do Instead |\n|-------|------------|\n| Rebase feature branches | Merge (rebase loses commits) |\n| Producer writes code | Producer only plans, merges, files issues |\n| Batch \"fix everything\" commits | One commit per fix with issue reference |\n| Vague brainstorm prompts | Name each agent with distinct perspective |\n| Keep bugs only in chat | File GitHub Issues (chat context dies) |\n\n## Tips for Better Results\n\n- **\"Take your time, do it right\"** in prompts produces better output than rushing\n- **Test before merge** — you playtest, file issues, dev fixes, then merge\n- **Run team consiliums** before major sprints — each agent reviews the plan from their perspective\n- **Save lessons to memory** after every milestone","tags":["team","orchestration","awesome","copilot","github","agent-skills","agents","custom-agents","github-copilot","hacktoberfest","prompt-engineering"],"capabilities":["skill","source-github","skill-ai-team-orchestration","topic-agent-skills","topic-agents","topic-awesome","topic-custom-agents","topic-github-copilot","topic-hacktoberfest","topic-prompt-engineering"],"categories":["awesome-copilot"],"synonyms":[],"warnings":[],"endpointUrl":"https://skills.sh/github/awesome-copilot/ai-team-orchestration","protocol":"skill","transport":"skills-sh","auth":{"type":"none","details":{"cli":"npx
