Custom agent teams

Combine specialist agents and assign a lead to coordinate engineering work.

Availability: Business plans (Teams and Enterprise). Not yet available on individual plans.
Create a team when a piece of engineering work needs several roles, such as planning and code review. Choose a lead and use team instructions to explain how members should work together. For an API change, for example, ask the planning role to identify compatibility requirements and the reviewer to check risks and missing regression tests.

Create a team

Prepare the required custom agents, then configure the team in settings:
  1. Open Settings > Agent Team, choose Create Agent Team, and select the blank creation option.
  2. Enter its name and description. The name cannot currently be changed after creation.
  3. Write collaboration instructions covering responsibilities, requirements, and constraints.
  4. Select one Team Leader and one to four Additional members. An agent selected as lead is automatically removed from the additional members.
  5. Save the configuration.
Team members must be enabled agents bound to the local Qoder runtime. Unavailable agents show a reason in the picker; check their configuration through agent management. Example instructions:
Review the proposed API change for compatibility risks and test coverage.
The lead clarifies requirements, coordinates the work, and consolidates results.
The planner identifies dependencies and implementation steps.
The reviewer checks risks and missing tests.
Separate confirmed conclusions from open questions. Analyze only; do not modify code.

Enable and use a team

Enable the team in the list or enable assignment in its settings. Enabling a team also enables assignment for its lead and members; members can be assigned individually. Disabling a team does not disable its members. Check each agent's settings separately when you need to stop using that agent. Team tasks run on the current device, which must remain online.

Update team roles

Use the edit button to change the description, collaboration instructions, lead, or members. Configure any additional specialist agents through agent management before adding them to the team.
