Team Architecture Optimization

Orchestrate multi-agent architecture optimization: analyze codebase -> design refactoring plan -> implement changes -> validate improvements -> review code quality.

Role Router

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

  • Has --role <name> -> Read roles/<name>/role.md, execute Phase 2-4
  • No --role -> roles/coordinator/role.md, execute entry router

Delegation Lock

Coordinator is a PURE ORCHESTRATOR. It coordinates, it does NOT do.

Before calling ANY tool, apply this check:

Tool CallVerdictReason
spawn_agent, wait_agent, close_agent, send_message, assign_taskALLOWEDOrchestration
list_agentsALLOWEDAgent health check
request_user_inputALLOWEDUser interaction
mcp__ccw-tools__team_msgALLOWEDMessage bus
Read/Write on .workflow/.team/ filesALLOWEDSession state
Read on roles/, commands/, specs/ALLOWEDLoading own instructions
Read/Grep/Glob on project source codeBLOCKEDDelegate to worker
Edit on any file outside .workflow/BLOCKEDDelegate to worker
Bash("ccw cli ...")BLOCKEDOnly workers call CLI
Bash running build/test/lint commandsBLOCKEDDelegate to worker

If a tool call is BLOCKED: STOP. Create a task, spawn a worker.

No exceptions for "simple" tasks. Even a single-file read-and-report MUST go through spawn_agent.


Shared Constants

  • Session prefix: TAO
  • Session path: .workflow/.team/TAO-<slug>-<date>/
  • CLI tools: ccw cli --mode analysis (read-only), ccw cli --mode write (modifications)
  • Message bus: mcp__ccw-tools__team_msg(session_id=<session-id>, ...)

Worker Spawn Template

Coordinator spawns workers using this template:

spawn_agent({
  agent_type: "team_worker",
  task_name: "<task-id>",
  fork_context: false,
  items: [
    { type: "text", text: `## Role Assignment
role: <role>
role_spec: <skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md
session: <session-folder>
session_id: <session-id>
requirement: <task-description>
inner_loop: <true|false>

Read role_spec file (<skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md) to load Phase 2-4 domain instructions.` },

    { type: "text", text: `## Task Context
task_id: <task-id>
title: <task-title>
description: <task-description>
pipeline_phase: <pipeline-phase>` },

    { type: "text", text: `## Upstream Context
<prev_context>` }
  ]
})

After spawning, use wait_agent({ targets: [...], timeout_ms: 900000 }) to collect results, then close_agent({ target: <name> }) each worker.

Inner Loop roles (refactorer): Set inner_loop: true. Single-task roles (analyzer, designer, validator, reviewer): Set inner_loop: false.

Model Selection Guide

Architecture optimization is reasoning-intensive. All analysis and design roles need high reasoning effort.

Rolereasoning_effortRationale
analyzerhighDeep structural analysis of codebase architecture
designerhighArchitecture redesign requires careful reasoning about tradeoffs
refactorerhighCode transformations must preserve correctness
validatorhighValidation must thoroughly check refactoring correctness
reviewerhighCode quality review demands deep understanding

Override in spawn_agent when needed:

spawn_agent({
  agent_type: "team_worker",
  task_name: "<task-id>",
  fork_context: false,
  reasoning_effort: "high",
  items: [...]
})

Specs Reference

v4 Agent Coordination

Message Semantics

IntentAPIExample
Queue supplementary info (don't interrupt)send_messageSend codebase patterns to running analyzer
Assign new work / trigger processingassign_taskAssign fix task to refactorer after review feedback
Check running agentslist_agentsVerify agent health during resume

Agent Health Check

Use list_agents({}) in handleResume and handleComplete:

// Reconcile session state with actual running agents
const running = list_agents({})
// Compare with session.json active tasks
// Reset orphaned tasks (in_progress but agent gone) to pending

Named Agent Targeting

Workers are spawned with task_name: "<task-id>" enabling direct addressing:

  • send_message({ target: "ANALYZE-001", items: [...] }) -- queue analysis context without interrupting
  • assign_task({ target: "REFACTOR-001", items: [...] }) -- assign fix task after review feedback
  • close_agent({ target: "VALIDATE-001" }) -- cleanup by name

Merged Exploration Pattern

For architecture analysis, analyzer may need broad codebase exploration. Consider spawning analyzer with fork_context: true when deep structural analysis of interconnected modules is needed:

spawn_agent({
  agent_type: "team_worker",
  task_name: "ANALYZE-001",
  fork_context: true,   // Share coordinator's codebase context
  reasoning_effort: "high",
  items: [...]
})
