Team Packs

Team Packs are curated subsets of the 61-role spine. Instead of selecting individual roles, you pick a named pack that already contains the right roles in the right order for a given class of work. Each pack includes mismatch detection: if your task does not fit the pack, it suggests the right one instead.

Terminal window
roleos run --pack=feature "add export command"
roleos packs list
roleos packs suggest .claude/packets/my-task.md

When to use a pack vs. free routing

Use a pack when the work is well-scoped and the domain is clear. Use free routing (roleos route) when the work cuts across domains or you need a custom chain. roleos start picks the right level automatically (mission, pack, or free routing) based on your task description.

The 10 packs

1. Feature Build

Full feature delivery: scope, spec, implement, test, review.

RolesOrchestrator, Product Strategist, Spec Writer, Backend Engineer, Test Engineer, Critic Reviewer
OptionalUI Designer, Frontend Developer, Security Reviewer
ChainProduct Strategist, Spec Writer, Backend Engineer, Test Engineer
OrchestratorRequired (multi-role, cross-functional)
ArtifactsScope doc, spec, implementation, test results, verdict

2. Bugfix / Repair

Diagnose, fix, verify, review. Minimal chain, fast turnaround.

RolesRepo Researcher, Backend Engineer, Test Engineer, Critic Reviewer
OptionalFrontend Developer, Performance Engineer
ChainRepo Researcher, Backend Engineer, Test Engineer
OrchestratorNot required
ArtifactsRepo map / diagnosis, fix implementation, regression tests, verdict

3. Security Review

Threat model, code review, dependency audit, verdict.

RolesSecurity Reviewer, Dependency Auditor, Critic Reviewer
OptionalBackend Engineer, Test Engineer
ChainSecurity Reviewer, Dependency Auditor
OrchestratorNot required
ArtifactsThreat model, code review findings, dependency audit, verdict

4. Docs / Handbook

Triage raw input, synthesize themes, structure docs, verify metadata, review.

RolesSupport Triage Lead, Feedback Synthesizer, Docs Architect, Metadata Curator, Critic Reviewer
OptionalRepo Translator, Brand Guardian, Release Engineer, Deployment Verifier
ChainSupport Triage Lead, Feedback Synthesizer, Docs Architect, Metadata Curator
OrchestratorNot required
ArtifactsClassified input, synthesized themes, docs structure, metadata audit, verdict

5. Launch / Messaging

Plan launch strategy, write copy, review.

RolesLaunch Strategist, Launch Copywriter, Critic Reviewer
OptionalContent Strategist, Community Manager
ChainLaunch Strategist, Launch Copywriter
OrchestratorNot required
ArtifactsLaunch plan, release copy, verdict

6. Research / Strategy

Frame the decision, gather evidence, synthesize, recommend.

RolesProduct Strategist, UX Researcher, Competitive Analyst, Feedback Synthesizer, Critic Reviewer
OptionalTrend Researcher, User Interview Synthesizer
ChainProduct Strategist, UX Researcher, Competitive Analyst, Feedback Synthesizer
OrchestratorNot required
ArtifactsDecision frame, friction inventory, competitive landscape, signal synthesis, verdict

7. Treatment (Repo Polish)

Full repo treatment: research, security, audit, docs, metadata, release, deploy, verify.

RolesRepo Researcher, Security Reviewer, Coverage Auditor, Docs Architect, Metadata Curator, Release Engineer, Deployment Verifier, Critic Reviewer
OptionalBrand Guardian, Repo Translator, Dependency Auditor
ChainRepo Researcher, Security Reviewer, Coverage Auditor, Docs Architect, Metadata Curator, Release Engineer, Deployment Verifier
OrchestratorNot required (long but sequential, clear handoffs)
ArtifactsRepo map, security findings, coverage audit, docs, metadata audit, release, deployment verification, verdict

8. Deep Audit

Decompose repo into components, audit each deeply, inspect seams from dependency graph, synthesize verdict. Worker count scales with repo manifest via dynamic dispatch.

RolesComponent Auditor, Test Truth Auditor, Seam Auditor, Audit Synthesizer, Critic Reviewer
OptionalSecurity Reviewer, Dependency Auditor
ChainComponent Auditor (×N, parallel) + Test Truth Auditor (×M) → Seam Auditor (×K, from graph) → Audit Synthesizer
OrchestratorNot required
ArtifactsAudit manifest, component audit reports, test truth reports, seam audit reports, audit summary, action plan, verdict

9. Brainstorm

Structured multi-perspective inquiry with traceable disagreement and verdict-bearing output.

RolesContext Analyst, User Value Analyst, Mechanics Analyst, Positioning Analyst, Normalizer, Cross-Examiner, Rebuttal Defender, Synthesizer, Judge
Chain4 Analysts (parallel) → Normalize → Cross-Examine → Rebut → Synthesize → Expand → Judge
OrchestratorNot required
ArtifactsRole-native schemas, provenance atoms, cross-exam dispute graph, synthesis, verdict

Mismatch detection

Every pack includes guards that detect when a task does not belong. If you route a bugfix task through the feature pack, the system warns you and suggests bugfix instead. This prevents wasted work from routing through the wrong abstraction.

Terminal window
roleos packs suggest .claude/packets/my-task.md
# → Suggested: bugfix (high confidence)
# → Mismatch: feature pack is wrong for this task — this is a bug to fix, not a feature to build

Calibration

Packs were calibrated through execution trials and pack comparison trials. Key calibration findings:

  • Orchestrator is conditional: only included when the task is multi-role and cross-functional (not for linear chains like bugfix)
  • Treatment includes Security Reviewer by default (security before polish)
  • Research opens with Product Strategist (framing before investigation)
  • Docs has an upstream-synthesis gate (prevents stale documentation)

Outcome calibration records run results and tunes pack weights over time. Use roleos run with different packs to build calibration data for your project.

Combining packs

Packs are not mutually exclusive. A treatment often runs the treatment pack end-to-end, but you can also chain packs manually. The output of each pack is the input for the next. Use roleos review to record the verdict between packs.
