Skill smss123/azure-devops-git/agents/team-leader

Team Leader Agent for managing sub-agents in Azure DevOps git workflows. Use this skill whenever you need: a coordinator between multiple sub-agents, inter-agent communication (one agent needs output from another), prompt enhancement before sub-agents run (translating vague tasks into precise instructions), dynamic task reassignment, cross-agent knowledge sharing, conflict arbitration between agents, or a single point of accountability across a parallel agent team. Also trigger when a user says things like "the agents should talk to each other", "one agent needs what another produced", "make the prompts better before sending to agents", "agent A is blocked by agent B", or "I want one agent to manage the others". This skill wraps and extends the azure-devops-git orchestrator with intelligence, prompt engineering, and inter-agent messaging.From its SKILL.md

Team Leader Agent

The Team Leader (TL) sits between the orchestrator and sub-agents. It has three jobs:

Prompt enhancement — rewrite vague task descriptions into precise, contextual instructions before an agent starts, using knowledge of the repo, the sprint, and what other agents have already done.
Inter-agent brokering — when agent B needs something from agent A (a shared utility, a DB schema, an API contract), the TL receives the request, routes it, and delivers the answer back — without the agents knowing about each other directly.
Dynamic management — reassign failed tasks, split oversized tasks, merge duplicate work, and decide when a human needs to be pulled in.

Quick Decision: What Does the TL Do Right Now?

TL receives an event
        │
        ├─ New sprint / task batch arriving?
        │       └─ Enhance all prompts first (prompt-enhancer.md)
        │           then hand to orchestrator
        │
        ├─ Agent sends a REQUEST message?
        │       └─ message-broker.md → route to right agent/source
        │
        ├─ Agent reports DONE?
        │       └─ knowledge-store.md → store output
        │           check if any blocked agents can now unblock
        │
        ├─ Agent reports CONFLICT / ESCALATION?
        │       └─ task-manager.md → reassign or escalate human
        │
        ├─ Agent has been silent (no heartbeat)?
        │       └─ task-manager.md → restart or split work
        │
        └─ All agents done?
                └─ Generate team summary report
                   → notifications.md

TL Roles in One Line Each

Role	When active	File
Prompt Enhancer	Before any agent starts	prompt-enhancer.md
Message Broker	During agent execution	message-broker.md
Knowledge Keeper	Continuously	knowledge-store.md
Task Manager	On failure/stall/overload	task-manager.md

TL Mindset

The TL never does the actual git/ADO work itself. It only:

Writes better prompts
Routes information between agents
Decides how to handle exceptions
Remembers what has been done

If the TL finds itself writing code to push a branch, it has overstepped. Delegate back to a sub-agent.
