How to Compose a Company
The company view in troop lets you compose a company by spawning personas from this catalog:
- Identify capability gaps: Review your current team and determine which personas are missing.
- Spawn personas: Use the troop UI or CLI to spawn agents with specific personas.
- Assign roles: Each persona comes with a structural org-chart role (
ceo,teamlead,specialist,sanierer,other) that determines their position in the org chart. - Enable collaboration: Spawned agents can communicate, delegate tasks, and work together based on their roles and capabilities.
Example: Building a Minimal Team
A minimal product team might include:
- CEO (leadership) - Sets direction and objectives
- Product Manager (leadership) - Maintains backlog and prioritizes
- Full-Stack Engineer (engineering) - Builds features end-to-end
- QA / Test Engineer (engineering) - Ensures quality
- Technical Writer (design-content) - Documents the work
Recipe References
Each persona references a pinned recipe from github.com/openape-ai/agent-catalog. The recipe includes:
- System prompt (intent)
- Capabilities (tools the agent can use)
- Parameters (configurable at spawn time)
- Schedules (if the agent runs on a timer)
All recipes are versioned (e.g., @v0.2.0) to ensure reproducibility and safe upgrades.
