SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating a team of AI agents requires constant decisions about delegation, hiring, budget caps, and retirements, and doing this without current organization state leads to duplicate hires, overspending, and stalled approvals.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Roster Inspection: List and filter all workspace agents by role or status to check capacity before delegating work.
  • Agent Lifecycle Management: Hire workers, specialists, assistants, or reviewers with approval-gated onboarding, then rename, cap, or retire them as needs change.
  • Budget Oversight: Review workspace-level and per-agent spend before approving budget grants or adjusting monthly caps.
  • Use Case: A CEO agent notices three queued frontend tasks. It lists agents, confirms the existing worker is at capacity, checks workspace budget, and hires a new Frontend-Worker with a concrete reason that surfaces on the approval row.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to list the current team roster and workspace budget, then hire a new worker agent with a stated reason if capacity is insufficient.

How do I check agent spend before approving a budget grant?

Run kandev budget get for the workspace summary or kandev budget get --agent-id for per-agent spend. The CLI is read-only; adjust per-agent caps with kandev agents update --budget-monthly-cents.

Can I change an agent's role after creation in Kandev?

No, agent roles cannot be changed after creation. To fix a role mistake, retire the agent with kandev agents delete and hire a new one with the correct role.

Why does deleting an agent fail in Kandev?

The backend rejects deletes for agents currently in working status. Wait until the agent is idle before retiring it with kandev agents delete.

When should I not hire a new agent?

Avoid hiring for one-off work an existing agent can handle, when budget is tight, or when an existing specialist already matches the task. Check the roster with kandev agents list before creating anyone new.
