Multi-agent team coordination is managed by orchestrating team roles, delegating tasks, and synchronizing bead state across subagents. You spawn teammates with explicit context, assign task dependencies, and enforce quality gates to ensure reliable collaboration throughout the session lifecycle.

Bead-driven session state synchronization governs shared context and progress tracking across spawned teammates. It manages the session lifecycle by merging shared files and ensuring all subagents maintain consistent state during complex collaboration workflows.

Subagents are spawned with full context, required skills, and explicit model selections per role. You provide spawn prompts that include task dependencies and quality gates, ensuring each teammate receives the appropriate model and context for its assigned role.

Task dependencies and quality gates are managed through the task lifecycle framework. You define dependency chains between delegated tasks, apply quality gates at each stage, and monitor progress through the bead workflow to ensure reliable collaboration across all team members.

Delegate mode must be enabled via Shift+Tab before spawning teammates. Once active, you can orchestrate multi-agent teamwork by assigning roles, managing task dependencies, and using the bead workflow to monitor session progress and merge shared work.

Ownership and guardrails are managed by implementing explicit role assignments and quality gates within the task lifecycle. The framework enforces session lifecycle boundaries and ownership rules, ensuring subagents operate within their designated scope during delegation.
