Summary

Adds the /blog/build-your-first-agent-team playbook: how to staff a five-agent team on Agent Relay (roles, engines, soul/memory/goals/heartbeat, reviewer loop, first-week order) using the CLIs you already pay for.

Test plan

  • Open /blog/build-your-first-agent-team on the preview deploy
  • Confirm frontmatter renders (title, author Will Washburn, date, tags, TOC)
  • Spot-check that install/spawn commands and skill URL match current product docs
  • Skim tone against other playbook posts for fit

Summary by cubic

Adds the “Build Your First Team of AI Agents” playbook post at /blog/build-your-first-agent-team to guide readers on staffing a five-agent team on Agent Relay. Covers roles and routing, a self-improving reviewer loop, CLI setup using agent-relay, and a first-week plan.

  • Updates the setup block so the broker detaches with --background, keeping the pasted sequence from stalling before status, spawn, and tail.

Written for commit c8d7099. Summary will update on new commits.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only addition with no application or infrastructure changes; main review risk is factual alignment of CLI commands and product URLs with current docs.

Overview
Adds a new Playbooks blog post at /blog/build-your-first-agent-team (web/content/blog/build-your-first-agent-team.mdx) with standard frontmatter (title, author Will Washburn, date 2026-07-18, tags).

The article walks readers through staffing a five-role agent team (planning, building, reviewing, researching, ops) on Agent Relay using existing CLIs, including engine routing, the name/soul/memory/goals/heartbeat pattern, channel-based coordination, a cross-agent reviewer loop, copy-pasteable agent-relay spawn/setup commands, and a phased first-week rollout.

node/local up stays attached by default, so the pasted block stalled
before status/spawn/tail. --background lets the rest of the block run.
