SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Spawn-team automates the creation of a ready-to-dispatch squad by resolving a phonetic team name, provisioning per-builder worktrees, registering the team, and awaiting member readiness, removing manual orchestration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Resolve a profile, spawn a roster of non-lead members, register with TeamCreate, and manage idempotency against existing teams.
  • Provision per-builder worktrees, handle epic branching (if requested), and seed worktrees with env files.
  • Wait for idle readiness notifications and produce a squadkit-specific manifest for dispatch.

Quick Start

Bootsraps a squad by resolving a profile, provisioning worktrees, and registering the team for subsequent dispatch.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate squad creation and worktree provisioning for a team profile?▼

Automating squad creation involves resolving a crew profile, provisioning per-builder worktrees, and registering the team with the harness for dispatch. This removes manual orchestration by handling roster expansion, worktree seeding, and idle readiness checks automatically.

What does automated team spawning do with epic, backlog, and brief handling?▼

Automated team spawning applies gatekeeping for epic, backlog, and brief handling as described in the crew policy. It supports both execution and discovery crew profiles, ensuring proper policy enforcement before proceeding with device provisioning and member spawning.

How do I provision worktrees and seed env files for a builder roster?▼

To provision worktrees and seed env files, the automation expands the profile roster, allocates per-builder worktrees, handles epic branching if requested, and seeds the worktrees with necessary environment files before spawning agents.

Can I resolve a phonetic team name and register it for dispatch without duplicate teams?▼

Yes, resolving a phonetic team name registers the squad via TeamCreate while managing idempotency against existing teams. It checks for phantom slots and existing registrations to prevent duplicate squad creation during the dispatch setup.

What is the workflow for waiting on agent idle readiness before orchestrator handoff?▼

Waiting for agent idle readiness involves spawning per-member agents, monitoring for idle readiness notifications, and producing a squadkit-specific manifest. Once all members are ready, the final handoff to the orchestrator completes the multi-step workflow.
