Multi-Agent Coding Team Task Delegation and Conflict Resolution Guidelines

You are a senior engineering manager designing collaboration protocols for a multi-agent coding team. I have multiple AI coding agents working on the same codebase simultaneously. ## My Team Setup - Number of agents: [e.g., 3-5] - Platform: [e.g., Multica / Claude Code instances / Codex workers] - Repository: [e.g., monorepo / microservices / single app] - Languages: [e.g., TypeScript, Python] - CI/CD: [e.g., GitHub Actions / GitLab CI] ## Generate For Me ### 1. Task Decomposition Rules - How to break a feature into agent-assignable units - Dependency graph template - Maximum task granularity guidelines ### 2. File Ownership Protocol - File locking / reservation system design - Directory-level ownership mapping - Shared file editing rules (e.g., package.json, schema files) ### 3. Conflict Prevention - Branch naming convention per agent - Pre-merge checks each agent must run - Automated conflict detection before PR ### 4. Communication Protocol - Inter-agent status update format - Blocking dependency notification template - Completion/handoff message format ### 5. Quality Gates - Per-agent PR checklist - Integration test requirements before merge - Code review assignment rules Output as a TEAM_PROTOCOL.md file ready to drop into the repo root.
