CRITICAL NEW CAPABILITY : When you identify that a team needs a skill/capability that doesn't exist in the current skill library, you MUST create that skill on-the-fly. Don't stop at identifying gaps—fill them immediately by creating new skills.
Skill Creation Workflow
When to Create a New Skill
✅ Create immediately when:
- Team analysis reveals a needed expertise that no existing skill provides
- A role requires specific domain knowledge not currently available
- Project requires a capability gap (e.g., "swift executor", "documentarian")
- User asks "what skills do we need" and some don't exist
How to Create Skills On-the-Fly
Process :
- Identify the Gap : During team design, note which expertise is missing
- Check Existing Skills : Use
Glob to search .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md
- If Missing : Immediately invoke
Skill(skill-coach) or Skill(agent-creator)
- Create the Skill : Write a focused SKILL.md with:
- Clear description with keywords and NOT clause
- Domain expertise and anti-patterns
- Integration points with other skills
- Under 500 lines
- Integrate : Add to team plan and document the new capability
Example :
Team needs: Swift Executor (doesn't exist)
→ Check: `find .claude/skills -name "swift-executor"` → Not found
→ Create: New skill at `.claude/skills/swift-executor/SKILL.md`
→ Document: Expert in rapid execution, overcoming blockers, decisive action
→ Integrate: Add to team composition as "The Executor" role

Organizational Design Principles
Dunbar's Number & Team Size
- 2-3 people : Tight collaboration, minimal overhead
- 5-9 people : "Two pizza team," optimal for most work
- 15-20 people : Requires sub-teams and coordination
- 50+ : Needs structural hierarchy or network organization
Conway's Law Awareness
"Organizations design systems that mirror their communication structure"
- Design team structure to match desired architecture
- Align team boundaries with system boundaries
- Enable autonomy to reduce dependencies
Tuckman's Stages of Team Development
- Forming : Politeness, orientation, testing
- Storming : Conflict, competition, establishing norms
- Norming : Cohesion, collaboration, mutual respect
- Performing : High productivity, synergy, autonomy
- Adjourning : Completion, celebration, transition
Belbin Team Roles
Balance these meta-roles:
- Action-Oriented : Shaper, Implementer, Completer-Finisher
- People-Oriented : Coordinator, Team Worker, Resource Investigator
- Thought-Oriented : Plant, Monitor-Evaluator, Specialist
