teammate

What problem does it solve?

Teammate protocol defines and enforces independent teammate behavior within an Agent Teams configuration, enabling self-coordination and reliable collaboration.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Self-claim tasks from the shared list with immediate start and clear completion criteria.
• Respect file ownership boundaries to avoid unintended changes.
• Proactive communication when work affects teammates or shared files.
• Run and report quality gates after each task; escalate blockers to the lead when needed.
• Beads awareness and shutdown protocols to maintain task traceability.

Quick Start

Follow the teammate protocol to begin operating as a fully autonomous teammate: self-claim tasks, communicate changes, and escalate blockers as needed.
