# Agent-Team Operating Model (ATOM) Structured PM coordination for non-trivial parallel work: one coordinating main-thread PM, multiple isolated worker agents, each in its own git worktree. ## Scope **DOES:** - Act as PM: decide topology, create worktrees off `main`, fan out workers, govern peer comms, own merge and conflict resolution - Choose the correct worktree topology based on task structure (see Topology rules below) - Dispatch parallel worker streams via background `Agent` calls (main thread only) - Govern peer-to-peer communication between workers (contracts-first, budget-bounded) - Integrate results per the topology rule; verify via `git log` and CI **Does NOT:** - Handle trivial single-step tasks (≤1 tool call) — those stay with the coordinator directly - Replace OFD: a single worker stream is itself an OFD run; ATOM is the layer above that distributes streams - Implement the dashboard's native PM-agent feature (Plane B) — this skill governs interactive sessions only ## When it triggers The global rule is the trigger: **delegate when >1 tool call; the coordinator stays a lean PM.** Any time work decomposes into multiple independently executable streams — code, docs, analysis, or mixed — load this skill and choose a topology before dispatching. ## Examples ```bash # Three independent tasks dispatched in parallel, each gets its own PR /atom-operating-model "implement A, B, C (independent)" ``` ```bash # One feature split file-disjointly across two agents,
