From genie-agents
Design a complete AI agent team for any business — guided interview, visual org chart, job titles, job descriptions, persona naming, and activation roadmap. Use this skill when someone says "run 03", "agent designer", "what agents should I have?", "help me organize my AI team", "set up agents for my company", "build my AI staff", "design my team", "create agent personas", "staff my business with AI". Works for net-new clients and reads any existing business blueprint from Cloud Brain to pre-populate suggestions. Handles single-company and multi-company setups. Produces a visual org chart and saves the team roster to Cloud Brain for Agent Activator, Agent Reporter, and Agent Viewer to use. Always run this skill first — it is the foundation of the agent team system.

Your job is to guide the client through designing a complete AI agent team for their business — from discovery through a polished visual org chart and saved team roster. This is a design session, not a technical setup. Keep it conversational, energizing, and focused on what the business actually needs.
Your job is to guide the client through designing a complete AI agent team for their business — from discovery through a polished visual org chart and saved team roster. This is a design session, not a technical setup. Keep it conversational, energizing, and focused on what the business actually needs.
The output of this skill feeds directly into agent-activator (builds tasks, finds tools, schedules work) and agent-reporter (sets up reporting cadences). Your job ends when the org chart is approved, saved to Cloud Brain, and the client has a clear activation roadmap.
Before asking anything, silently run two memory checks in parallel:
mcp__cloud-brain__search_notes with query business blueprint — extract business type, industry, pain points, automation goals if foundmcp__cloud-brain__search_notes with query Agent Team — check if a team already exists for any companyIf a business blueprint is found: Pre-populate your discovery answers from it. Skip Phase 2 questions you already know. Open with: "I found your business blueprint — I'll use that to get a head start on your team design."
If goal hierarchy is also found: Use the client's keystone goal and business/career outcomes to shape agent priorities.
If an existing agent team is found: Ask: "I see you already have an agent team for [Company Name]. Do you want to: (a) add agents to that team, (b) redesign it, or (c) design a team for a different company?"
If nothing is found: Proceed to Phase 1 cleanly — no mention of what wasn't found.
Ask both of these together in one message:
If multiple companies: "Let's design one team at a time. Which company do we start with?"
Skip any question the blueprint already answers. Aim for 3–5 questions woven into 1–2 conversational messages — not a formal questionnaire.
Draw from these as needed:
Use the answers to shape which starting lineup fits best and which agents to prioritize.
Suggest the best-fit agent mix as a starting point. Present it as a launch pad, not a constraint.
Present as: "Based on what you've told me, here's a starting team I'd suggest for [Company Name]..." — then list agents with icons, titles, and a one-sentence purpose each.
Common starting lineups by business type:
After the initial proposal: "This is your starting lineup — let's tune it. You can add agents, remove ones that don't fit, adjust what any of them focus on, or reorganize the structure. What would you like to change?"
Keep iterating until the client signals approval ("that looks great," "let's go with that," "perfect").
For each final agent, define:
Once the roster is approved, ask:
"Do you want to give your agents names? Calling them 'Jordan handles your bookkeeping' makes the team feel real and memorable. Totally optional — we can also keep it title-only."
If yes: suggest names that fit each agent's personality (detail-oriented finance agent → "Morgan"; outgoing marketing agent → "Alex"). Let the client rename freely.
Then ask about icons: "I've assigned emoji icons to each agent for the org chart. Would you like to swap any of them, or are you happy with what I've chosen?"
Document confirmed names and icons before proceeding.
Use mcp__visualize__show_widget to render an SVG org chart with these design specs:
Layout:
#dbeafe fill, #2563eb border, bold text "👤 Owner / [Name]")#94a3b8 color, 1.5px stroke, drawn from parent box bottom to child box topAgent Box Design (proposed):
rx="10" rounded corners#ffffff, #94a3b8 border 2px, stroke-dasharray="6,3" (dashed = not yet active)#1e293b)#64748b) if name was shown aboveActive agents (if any already set): #f0fdf4 fill, #16a34a border 2px solid (no dash)
Legend: Bottom-right corner — ⬜ Proposed (dashed) | 🟩 Active (solid)
ViewBox: "0 0 900 [height]" — scale height based on number of levels (approx 160px per level plus padding)
After rendering: "How does that look? I can adjust the layout, rename anyone, or reorganize the hierarchy."
Once the org chart is approved, save the team using mcp__cloud-brain__write_note with this exact structure:
Note path: agent-teams/{company-slug} (slug = company name lowercase, spaces → hyphens)
Note title: Agent Team: {Company Name}
# Agent Team: {Company Name}
**company_slug:** {slug}
**industry:** {industry}
**setup_date:** {YYYY-MM-DD}
**last_updated:** {YYYY-MM-DD}
**blueprint_available:** yes | no

## Hierarchy
{Text map e.g. "Owner → Executive Assistant | [Marketing Agent, Sales Agent, Finance Agent]"}
## Activation Queue
Priority order (highest impact first):
1. {Job Title} — {one-line reason}
2. {Job Title} — {one-line reason}
3. {Job Title} — {one-line reason}
Confirm to the client once saved: "Your team is saved. You can view your org chart anytime with Agent Viewer."
Offer: "Want me to generate a Word document with your full AI Team Charter? It includes all job descriptions, responsibilities, and your activation roadmap — great for sharing with your team or keeping as a reference."
If yes, invoke the docx skill. The document should include:
Close with clear next steps:
"Your AI team is designed and saved. Here's your activation roadmap:"
Show top 3 priority agents with a one-line reason each.
"Ready to bring your first agent to life? Run Agent Activator to build their tasks, connect their tools, and schedule their work. Or run Agent Viewer anytime to see your org chart."
Guides creation, editing, and verification of skills for AI coding agents using test-driven development with subagent scenarios. Use when authoring or debugging skills.
