Teams

A team is a Manager agent, Atlas, plus specialist agents sharing one local working directory. Use a team when work needs coordination across roles.

​

Team Dashboard

The team workspace has three main tabs:

• Dashboard: the visual canvas, task panels, and bottom tray.
• Chat: your direct conversation with Atlas.
• Dispatch: the coordination feed for team activity.

​

Canvas

Atlas sits at the center with specialist tiles around it. Each tile shows the agent’s name, model provider icon, status, current task progress, files modified, and latest summary. Click a tile to open that agent’s focused chat.

​

Bottom Tray

The collapsible bottom tray gives you evidence of work:

• Activity: commands, file changes, and run events.
• Files: files agents created or modified, with previews.
• Uploads: files you attached in chat for the team.

​

Atlas

Atlas is the Manager at the center of every team. You give Atlas goals; it plans phases, creates tasks, dispatches specialists, keeps the board clean, and escalates decisions to you. Atlas is a coordinator, not an implementer. It inspects the project read-only and delegates actual file work to specialist agents.

​

Good Atlas Prompts

Give Atlas the goal, constraints, and definition of done:

“Ship a pricing page this week. Use the existing design system. Frontend builds it, QA verifies mobile, and check with me before changing navigation.”

Task Panels

The right side of the dashboard has three panels.

​

User Tasks

Everything waiting on you: questions, approvals, missing access, or decisions. If you only check one panel, check this one. Actions:

• Reply: sends your answer back through Atlas.
• Resolve: dismisses an item you already handled.

​

Agent Tasks

Every task Atlas has created or you have assigned, with title, assignee, and status. Actions:

• Cancel a single task.
• Abort all active tasks if the direction is wrong.
• Add tasks yourself from the slash menu or Assign Task form.

Start modes:

• Notify: sends the work without starting immediately.
• Start: begins immediately.
• Flag: waits for your decision first.

​

Task Health

Atlas’s cleanup queue: stale blockers, unowned tasks, unclear descriptions, and quiet tasks. These are Atlas’s to fix; the panel exists so you can keep an eye on board hygiene.

• Nudge Manager asks Atlas to address one item.
• Sweep stale tasks asks Atlas to clean up the whole board.

​

Interruption Level

Team Settings includes an Interruption Level that controls how often Atlas stops and asks you: Start with Balanced. Drop to Minimal once you trust the team; raise it for risky or unfamiliar work.

​

Team Controls

Open Team Settings from the gear icon or card menu:

• Project Name: rename the team.
• Working Directory: relink the local folder.
• Interruption Level: tune how often Atlas asks.
• Team Hard Pause: stop dispatches and block auto-dispatch until resumed.
• Delete Team: permanently remove the team and agents. Project files stay on disk.

There is also a Stop team button in the workspace header for the current run.

​

Five-Minute Check-In

1. Clear User Tasks from top to bottom.
2. Scan Agent Tasks and cancel stale or off-goal work.
3. Glance at Task Health and sweep stale tasks if needed.
4. Ask Atlas for a Status brief, Blockers, or Needs from me instead of scrolling history.
