evolve-team

Improve, restructure, or create a specialized variant of a team that was originally authored with create-team. This procedure covers the maintenance side of the team lifecycle: assessing gaps against the template and coordination patterns, applying targeted improvements to composition and workflow, bumping versions, and keeping the registry and cross-references in sync.

Read the existing team file and evaluate each section against the team template (teams/template.md):

| Section | What to Check | Common Issues |

Evolve an existing team composition by refining its structure in-place or creating a specialized variant. Covers assessing the current team against template and coordination patterns, gathering evolution requirements, choosing scope (adjust members, change coordination pattern, split/merge teams), applying changes to the team file and CONFIG block, updating version metadata, and synchronizing the registry and cross-references. Use when a team's member roster is outdated, coordination pattern no longer fits, user feedback reveals workflow gaps, a specialized variant is needed alongside the original, or agents have been added or removed from the library affecting team composition.
