Slash commands
Slash commands
Section titled “Slash commands”The Agentic Team Protocol installs six global slash commands into Claude Code. They are the user-facing control surface for starting, continuing, and governing goals.
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
/team |
Start or continue a goal. |
/team-charter |
Ratify the project charter. |
/team-status |
Show active goals and stages. |
/team-escalate |
Write an escalation record for a blocked or risky goal. |
/team-continue |
Resume an unfinished goal from eden-memory. |
/team-handoff |
Transfer goal ownership to another role. |
Top-level entry point. It is intentionally thin: it parses the argument and delegates to the Dispatcher or /team-continue.
Usage
/team/team <request>/team <goal_id>Behaviour
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| No argument | Show status and ask for a goal. |
UUID-like or contains - |

Output
- A
goal_recordanddispatch_instructionstored in eden-memory. - A hand-off to the assigned role subagent.
/team-charter
Section titled “/team-charter”Reads the project charter and stores a ratification record.

- Checks for unresolved placeholders and role mismatches with
.claude/agentic-team-config.yaml. - Stores a
charter_ratificationrecord in eden-memory.
Output
Charter path: .claude/agentic-team-charter.mdVersion: <16-char-sha>Record ID: <uuid>Status: proceed | no-proceed/team-status
Section titled “/team-status”Lists active goals, current stage, owner role, latest record ID, and whether each goal is continueable, blocked, or closed.

/team-continue
Section titled “/team-continue”Resumes an unfinished goal by reading the latest records from eden-memory and dispatching the correct next role.

goal_idto_role:dispatcher,researcher,builder,runtime,verifier,archivist, orrouterreason(optional but recommended)
What it copies
