teammode

teammode is an open-source workflow skill for Codex, published by code-yeongyu. Its author describes it as: “Codex-only team orchestration: run a named team of cooperating Codex workers with durable, script-managed state. MUST USE when the user asks Codex to create, run, coordinate, inspect, archive, or delete a team of agen…”. The project has 68k stars on GitHub and ships custom license terms, so review them before reuse. Add it to your setup with `git clone https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent ~/.claude/skills/teammode`.

What teammode does

Run a named team of cooperating Codex workers under one leader, with durable state on disk. This is a Codex-only workflow. It never depends on an external terminal runner - it coordinates through Codex's own collaboration tools plus a bundled state script, on ONE of two transports chosen up front: native MultiAgentV2 agents, or Codex App threads as the fallback.

Installation

Add teammode to your agent with:

git clone https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent ~/.claude/skills/teammode

Always review a skill's source before installing it. This command comes from the skill's public repository; the linked repo is the source of truth for exact setup steps.

What's inside

The SKILL.md for teammode is organised into these sections:

• When to use a team (and when to use plain subagents instead)
• Pick the transport FIRST - then tell the user
• You are the leader - orchestrate, do not implement
• Compose by part, ownership, or perspective - not by job title
• Run the script - never hand-write team state
• Create the team and its members
• Communication
• Let members work - do not rush them
• Worktrees - isolate members who would touch the same files
• Run a ulw-plan in parallel
• Archive, delete, and cleanup
• Stop rules

When to use it

Reach for teammode when you want workflow help from Codex without writing the same instructions every session. Load the skill and the agent picks it up automatically for relevant tasks.

Frequently asked questions

What does teammode do?

Codex-only team orchestration: run a named team of cooperating Codex workers with durable, script-managed state. MUST USE when the user asks Codex to create, run, coordinate, inspect, archive, or delete a team of agents/threads/sessions, or to work on something as a team in parallel. FIRST inspects the active tool surface (checking tool_search for deferred tools) and tells the user the route: native MultiAgentV2 agents (flat spawn_agent with task_name) when available, Codex App threads as the fallback, or a plain-subagent split when neither set exists. The main session is always the leader; members are defined by a concrete part, ownership area, or perspective - never a vague job role; a bundled cross-platform script writes the .omo/teams state plus an auto-generated member field manual. Use a team when the work is not perfectly isolated but parallelizing helps; use plain subagents when scope is perfectly isolated or the goal is ambiguous. Triggers: team mode, teammode, make a team, run as a team, team of agents, coordinate threads, parallel Codex threads, archive the team.

How do I install teammode?

Run git clone https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent ~/.claude/skills/teammode in your agent, then reload your skills. Review the source at https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent before installing.

teammode is publicly available on GitHub, but code-yeongyu has not declared a standard open-source license (Other). Confirm the terms with the author before reusing it.

Which agents does teammode work with?

teammode declares compatibility with Codex. Agent Skills use a portable SKILL.md format, so other compatible clients can usually load it too.

Where does teammode come from?

teammode ships inside code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent, a repository that contains 46 catalogued skills in total. The repository's 68,032 GitHub stars apply to that whole collection, not to this skill on its own.
