What problem does it solve?
Coordinate and manage multiple independent AI teammate sessions to run parallel, inter-communicating workflows so a single lead does not have to perform all research, implementation, review, or debugging tasks sequentially.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Parallel team orchestration: Spawn multiple teammates (researchers, developers, reviewers, debuggers) that run concurrently and communicate via a shared task list and SendMessage channels.
- Worktree isolation for implementation: Give each developer an isolated git worktree and branch to avoid file conflicts, then merge branches after completion.
- Event-driven monitoring & lifecycle: Use TeamCreate, TaskCreate, TaskCompleted hooks, and TeamDelete to manage team lifecycle, monitor progress, synthesize reports, and clean up.
- Use case: Run a cook workflow with three devs and one tester to implement a feature in parallel, have the tester run the suite, merge worktree branches, and produce a final report.
Quick Start
Run /ck:team cook <plan-or-description> --devs 3 to spawn isolated developer teammates, run implementation and testing in parallel, merge branches, and produce a final report.
