Teams Template — Recommended

Teams Guide

Two purpose-built teams that manage themselves. The Builders team grows with the workload and picks the right model per task; the Planning team can research from several angles in parallel for better master plans.

Brainstormer Architect Epic Manager Coder Code Reviewer
  • Auto-scaling Builders — right model per task, idle workers reused
  • Optional parallel planning across multiple Architects
  • Pick allowed providers per team at project creation
  • Manual team controls — clone, restart, edit capacity caps

Why Teams

CheaperRoutine work runs on lighter models, harder work on top-tier ones.
FasterBuilders scale with workload; Planning explores multiple angles in parallel.
CleanerTwo team leads with clear ownership replace a flat agent matrix.
SaferDisable autonomous creation any time and stay fully manual.
3-Agent Template
