Teams in Practice

When a job needs several roles working together, you can create experts in Silicon Worker, combine them into a team, and let a lead agent break the work down and delegate it across experts. This guide walks through the full flow, from creating an expert to team collaboration.

To understand the concept first, see Experts & teams.

Create an expert

An expert is a saved, reusable role definition.

  1. Open the Experts page and create a new expert.
  2. Fill in its role description (instructions): its responsibilities, how it works, and what it focuses on — for example, "Senior research analyst; verify sources before answering."
  3. Bind the skills commonly used for this kind of work (see Use and manage skills).
  4. Choose the tools it can use while working.
  5. Save. From then on you can pick this role directly for the matching tasks.

Silicon Worker also ships with a set of common experts you can use out of the box; you can start from those and create your own as needed.

Private memory

Each expert can have its own private memory, remembering preferences and lessons for its kind of work without affecting other roles.

Combine experts into a team

A team is a group of experts plus the skills they share. When a job needs several roles, a team lets those experts work around the same task together.

  1. Open the team section and create a new team.
  2. Fill in the team's name and description.
  3. Choose the members (experts you've already created).
  4. Configure the team's shared skills.
  5. Save. A team definition itself can also be packaged and shared.

Let the lead agent break down and delegate

For a complex task, Silicon Worker can have a lead agent take charge:

  1. Hand it the overall goal clearly, e.g. "Research three competitors and produce a comparison report."
  2. The lead agent breaks the big task into smaller subtasks.
  3. It delegates the subtasks to different experts or child agents to handle separately.
  4. Finally it gathers the results and keeps driving toward the overall goal.

You face a single entry point

You don't need to manage subtask scheduling by hand — the lead agent handles delegation and consolidation, and you see the overall progress in the session.

What kind of complex tasks fit

Team collaboration fits tasks that can be split into relatively independent parts and need different specialties, for example:

  • Multi-source research and synthesis (each source or angle handled by a subtask).
  • Combined jobs that need both coding and source-checking or document work.
  • Batch work where parts are handled separately and then merged.

If a task is simple and done in one step, just chat directly — there's no need to involve a team.

Result and verification

Seeing the roles and team you created on the Experts and team pages means they're ready. Then give the lead agent a task that needs division of labor and watch whether it breaks it down, delegates to the right experts, and consolidates an overall result to confirm collaboration is working.
