Agent Team
Agent Team
Also called: 智能体团队 · Agent squad
A set of agents in fixed, specialised roles collaborating persistently on a shared goal — a stable "team" rather than ad-hoc spawning.
Relation to multi-agent systems
"Agent team" is a productised framing of a multi-agent system: roles (planner, builder, tester, critic) are defined up front with their own prompts and tools, and the user faces a "team" rather than a set of loose processes.
Compared with ad-hoc subagents, the roles in a team are long-lived, reusable across tasks, and easier to give a fixed collaboration protocol (who acts first, who reviews whose output).
When it fits
When a task recurs with the same division of labour (write code → run tests → review → fix), freezing it into a team is more stable and predictable than having the lead agent improvise the structure each time, and it makes per-role tuning easier.
Common misconceptions
- A "team" is an organising method, not a capability guarantee — blurry roles add coordination cost.
- Team members do not automatically share context either; hand-offs must be defined explicitly.
