# Team Admin

Use this skill when you need fresh organization state or need to change the agent roster.

## First checks

```bash
$KANDEV_CLI kandev agents list
$KANDEV_CLI kandev budget get
```

Before hiring, confirm no existing idle specialist or worker already fits. Before approving budget grants, check workspace and per-agent spend.

## Common actions

- List and inspect agents: read `references/team.md`.
- Hire a new worker, specialist, assistant, or reviewer: read `references/hiring.md`.
- Rename, cap, or retire an agent: read `references/agent-edit.md`.
- Review workspace or per-agent spend: read `references/budget.md`.

## Guardrails

- Do not hire for one-off work that an existing agent can handle.
- Do not assign work to agents in `pending_approval`.
- Do not silently pause or cap an over-budget agent. Leave a task comment explaining the reason first.

SkillDescription
acp-debugDebug an ACP agent CLI by spawning it, speaking raw JSON-RPC, and capturing every frame to a JSONL file. Use when the user asks to probe an agent's capabilities, compare agents, test a prompt against an agent, inspect raw ACP wire frames, or investigate why an agent fails to initialize.
add-integrationAdd a new third-party integration (Jira/Linear-style) — per-workspace credentials, 90s auth-health poller, settings page, link/import buttons. Use when scaffolding a new external service integration.
clean-branchesDelete local branches whose remote has been deleted ([gone]), including their worktrees. Use for branch cleanup after merging PRs.
create-kandev-pluginCreate, modify, debug, test, package, or publish a Kandev runtime plugin in its dedicated repository. Use only when the requested work targets a Kandev plugin implementation or its release and marketplace lifecycle, including fixing a bug in an existing plugin. Do not use for agent skills, MCP servers, general integrations, or Kandev host, SDK, loader, and registry changes that do not also change a plugin.
docs-maintainerKeep public Kandev docs current when code or behavior changes affect CLI commands, config keys, install/deploy flows, workflows, executors, APIs, screenshots, or user-facing terminology. Use this before finishing any change with public documentation impact, and when reviewing whether a change needs docs.
harness-improvementImprove Kandev's AI harness from session learnings or explicit requests. Use when the user asks to record learnings, update or create skills, agents, subagents, commands, AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md guidance, or adapt harness files across Claude, Codex, Cursor, or OpenCode.
kandev-approvalsClear the CEO approval queue when hire requests, budget grants, or other sensitive Office mutations are waiting for approve or reject decisions.
kandev-config-syncSynchronize Office workspace configuration with the .kandev folder when exporting reviewable config, importing committed config, seeding a workspace, or reviewing a config diff.
kandev-escalationEscalate to a human when required information, access, credentials, or a product decision blocks completion and no reasonable default is available.
