Steering your team

Your crew

One Foreman, a Planner that plans, five Leads that do the work.

About 5 minutes

Every workspace gets an organisation, not a chatbot. You talk to one agent; it runs the rest.

Foreman                     ← the only agent you talk to by default
└── Planner                 ← breaks objectives into tasks, never executes them
    ├── Growth Lead         marketing, sales, acquisition
    ├── Operations Lead     finance, HR, internal process
    ├── Product Lead        product, design, research
    ├── Engineering Lead    software, IT, infrastructure
    └── Risk & Legal Lead   compliance, legal, security

Why the shape matters

The Foreman is an interface, not a worker. It gathers what it needs, routes work, and comes back to you. It does not do the work itself, which is why it can stay responsive while a lot is running.

The Planner plans and never executes. It decomposes an objective into two to seven tasks and delegates each. Separating planning from doing is what stops a single agent grinding on a task it should have handed off.

Leads own functions. Work goes to the Lead whose function it belongs to, and they hire specialists beneath them when a task needs one.

Steps

  1. Open Team to see the org chart.
  2. Open a Lead to read its instructions — this is what it has been told it is for.
  3. Adjust instructions where your business differs from the default assumption.

You're done when the org chart reflects how your business actually divides work.

Gotchas

  • Specialists appear as needed. You do not staff the org up front.
  • Editing a Lead's instructions changes its judgement, not just its wording. Be specific about what you want done differently.
