Team Patterns
Model selection
Default model is Opus 4.6 (200K context). For heavy sessions (workshops, sprint planning, large reviews), switch to extended context on-demand:
/model sonnet[1m]— Sonnet 4.6 with 1M context window/model opus[1m]— Opus 4.6 with 1M context window- Cost: 2x input + 1.5x output for tokens beyond 200K (Tier 4 required)
Large content pushes
When producing many files (wiki pages, content batches, bulk docs):
- Lore librarian agent (read-only): ingests all source material, answers focused context queries from writers, tracks cross-file consistency
- Multiple writer agents (parallel, by domain): each gets a task slice, writes directly to disk using the Write tool — one file at a time, write often, no text accumulation
- Reviewer agents (blocked until writing done): check voice consistency, attribute uniformity, style
Key: writers use Write tool directly (no transcription bottleneck), librarian catches contradictions early, split work by domain not volume.
Team monitoring (stuck agent detection)
When leading a team (sprint, workshop, or any multi-agent session):
Agent heartbeat rule — include in every agent spawn prompt:
If you have been working on a single task for more than 15 minutes without making progress, message the team lead with what is blocking you. Do not keep retrying the same approach silently.
Team lead proactive checks:
- If an agent has not sent a message in ~20 minutes, ping them for a status update.
- Bottleneck detection: if other agents are idle and waiting on one agent's output, that agent's silence is a red flag — check on them immediately, do not wait for the next natural message.
- When checking on a stuck agent, offer to reassign the task or pull in another agent to help.
