Issue triage, sprint coordination, meeting actions and a Friday status as a team of agents that reads your repository and your board, never the open web.
Start guideYOUR OUTCOME
You will run an engineering pod that labels every new issue, plans the sprint from the labelled list, turns stand-ups into owned actions and reports on Friday without inventing progress.
Triage reads the repo and the issue text, nothing from the web Plan from the labelled list, not the raw backlog A stale ticket is reported as stale, with its owner

The team for this work
Which agents to hire, which Marketplace templates start them, and the order they need each other in.
Start from the work, not the tool: Issue triage, sprint coordination, meeting actions and a Friday status as a team of agents that reads your repository and your board, never the open web. The team is Dev · Triage (Code review and issue triage), Cass · Sprint (Project coordinator), Notes · Actions (Meeting notes and actions), Friday · Status (Weekly status reporting). Each starts from a Marketplace template, imported as your own copy, renamed and re-goaled on the setup card; nothing personal and no creator credentials come with a template.
Practice. Open Marketplace, Agent templates, and read the Instructions and Integrations of each template on this list before you import anything. Note which sources each one will ask you for.
Marketplace → Agent templates → open Code review and issue triage. Read Instructions, then Integrations.
Hire the first wave
Import, rename, and give a goal with the deliverable, the sources and the finish line.
Import agent creates your copy and opens the setup card. Rename it, replace the goal with yours, and choose When to work. Triage is the first hire because every plan and every report leans on issues that are already labelled, sized and de-duplicated.
Practice. Import Code review and issue triage, rename it Dev · Triage, and paste your goal on the setup card. Choose Now, once, and Continue. Check its first deliverable in Doc Manager before the next hire.
Name: Dev · Triage. Goal: Read the attached repository and the new issues in the attached export. For each issue attach an area, a severity, the file the stack trace points at, and any duplicate you find. Read only what I attached; if you cannot place an issue, say so rather than guess. When to work: Now, once.
The group and the second wave
Run the team in one room; hire the rest once the first deliverable exists.
Create group chat, name it Engineering pod, add Dev · Triage, and post what the team is for. Then hire the second wave with goals that start by reading the first wave's document. @Name directs one member, @everyone the room, Work ↗ opens a member's own session. The coordinator plans the sprint from the labelled list; the actions agent turns each stand-up into owned items with dates; the status agent reports only what the board shows.
Practice. Create Engineering pod, add each hire as it joins, and ask every member to post what it made and the one thing it would flag.
@everyone Welcome to the engineering pod. Dev's labelled issue list is in the workspace. Cass: plan a two-week sprint from it with owners and a capacity check. Notes: take today's stand-up transcript and post the actions with owners and dates. Friday: on Friday, report from the board only.
The routine that keeps working
One recurring job on a schedule, then a status round and a grade.
Issues arrive all day; a daily triage routine labels what came in overnight so the morning starts with a sorted list. Every run is a session under Finished today. Close each cycle with a status round, "@everyone one line each", and a grade against the acceptance checks each agent wrote first.
Practice. Create the routine, use Run now to get today's first report, then run one status round in Engineering pod.
New routine. Name: Daily issue triage. Instructions: Read the issues opened since the last run and attach an area, a severity, the file the stack trace points at, and any duplicate. Post the labelled list and mark anything you could not place. Frequency: Every day at 07:30.
