Bootstrap a multi-agent development team — analyzes your codebase and generates tailored agents via AI debate

Initialize a multi-agent development team for any project. Use this skill whenever the user wants to set up, bootstrap, create, or design specialized agents for their codebase — including requests to "set up agents", "create a team", "organize work into agents", "bootstrap cadre", or "generate agent configuration". Also triggers for requests to scope agents to project directories (monorepo packages, microservices, frontend/backend splits). Handles both existing projects (analyzes codebase structure) and greenfield projects (interviews user first). Generates .claude/agents/*.md files, config.yaml, routing rules, and a local /cadre coordinator skill.

Runtime orchestration of agent teams for parallel work. Use when the user says "create a team", "/orchestrate", or wants multiple Claude instances working together. Supports patterns: review (parallel code review), debate (competing hypotheses), plan (explore + plan + critique), build (parallel implementation), research (parallel investigation), cross-agent (multi-engine comparison via CLI bridges like Codex), and custom teams. This skill handles live team coordination at runtime — distinct from cadre:init which bootstraps static team definitions and agent configurations for a project. TRIGGERS - Use this skill when user says: - "/orchestrate review src/" or "review this code with a team" - "/orchestrate debate 'why does X fail'" or "investigate this bug with competing theories" - "/orchestrate plan 'add authentication'" or "plan this feature with a team" - "/orchestrate build 'calculator module'" or "build this with a team" - "/orchestrate research 'compare React vs Vue'" or "research this topic in parallel" - "/orchestrate cleanup" or "shut down the team" - Any request to create an agent team or coordinate multiple Claude instances
