Use when the user wants a pre-designed agent team configuration for a specific development phase. Triggers: "research team", "feature development team", "code review team", "debug team", "design team", "planning team", "roadmap team", "productivity team", "brainstorming team", "team blueprint", "team template", "spawn a team for [development phase]". Provides 8 ready-to-use team blueprints across the application development lifecycle. Routes to the unified spawn commands (`/spawn-build`, `/spawn-think`, `/spawn-create`).

# Agent Team Blueprints

Pre-designed team configurations for eight application development phases. Each blueprint defines team composition, teammate roles, task structure, and the unified command that spawns it.

## Blueprints

| # | Blueprint | Command | Best For | Team Size |
|---|-----------|---------|----------|-----------|
| 1 | Research & Discovery | `/spawn-think --mode research` | Evaluating tech, landscape surveys, risk assessment | 3-5 |
| 2 | Feature Development | `/spawn-build --mode feature` | Multi-layer features (UI+API+DB) | 3-5 |
| 3 | Code Review & QA | `/spawn-think --mode review` | PR review, quality audit | 3-5 |
| 4 | Debugging | `/spawn-build --mode debug` | Hard bugs, production incidents | 3 |
| 5 | Frontend Design | `/spawn-create --mode design` | UI features needing design process | 4 |
| 6 | Adaptive Planning | `/spawn-think --mode planning` | Roadmaps, specs, ADRs, migrations, business cases, GTM, OKRs | 3-4 |
| 7 | Productivity Systems | `/spawn-create --mode productivity` | Workflow optimization (full 5-persona loop) | 5 |
| 8 | Brainstorming | `/spawn-create --mode brainstorm` | Creative ideation (tech, product, process, ops categories) | 3-5 |

For full team compositions, task structures, modes, and mechanisms, see [references/blueprint-definitions.md](references/blueprint-definitions.md).

## Choosing the Right Blueprint

```
Is the task about understanding something?     → Research & Discovery (3 modes)
Is the task about building something new?      → Feature Development
Is the task about reviewing existing work?     → Code Review & QA (3 modes)
Is the task about fixing something broken?     → Debugging & Investigation
Is the task about designing a user interface?  → Frontend Design (3 modes)
Is the task about sequencing what to build?    → Planning & Roadmapping (7 modes)
Is the task about optimizing workflows?        → Productivity Systems
Is the task about generating creative ideas?   → Brainstorming & Ideation
Is it a mix?                                   → Use team-architect agent for custom design
```

## Pipeline Composition

When a task spans multiple phases, chain blueprints together (or wrap them in a `/project` pipeline for shared accumulating context):

```
Need to explore before building?      → Research → Feature Dev
Need to plan before building?         → Planning → Feature Dev
Need design before implementation?    → Design → Feature Dev → Review
Need ideas before planning?           → Brainstorming → Planning → Feature Dev
Found bugs during review?             → Review → Debug → Feature Dev (fix)
Need to optimize an existing flow?    → Productivity → Feature Dev (automation)
Full product cycle?                   → Business Case → Roadmap → Spec → Feature Dev → Review
```

## Design Patterns

Five reusable patterns across all blueprints:
- **Adaptive Mode** — Single command supports multiple operational modes
- **Cross-Team Pipeline** — Chain teams for multi-phase workflows
- **Discovery Interview** — Rich shared context via structured intake (universal core in `shared/discovery-interview.md`; mode-specific in `shared/discovery-modes/<mode>.md`)
- **User Feedback Gate** — Mid-course correction checkpoints
- **Artifact Output** — Persistent deliverables to `docs/teams/[team-name]/` (or `docs/projects/<name>/<stage>/` when using project pipelines)
