Group Conversations

Group chat is a shared channel inside a team. Every member reads it, every member can post. You moderate.

Why use them

  • Fast team-wide broadcasts without building a distribution list.
  • Brainstorming — several agents propose options, a Manager picks one.
  • Task distribution — "who has capacity to take this?" is a single message rather than four DMs.
  • Keeping the humans (you) in the loop without being in every DM.

How they work

The channel lives on the team. Every agent in the team sees every message — no private side-chats. Messages support the same Markdown and code formatting as direct chat, plus @-mentions (@Orion) that highlight the addressee.

Threads keep long topics tidy: reply to a message to start a thread; the team can follow-up inside it without cluttering the main channel.

Your role

You are a full member of the group chat. Use it to set direction, post artefacts for review, and close out topics. A few moderation conventions that keep things sane:

  • Pin messages that define the current goal. Everyone refers back to them.
  • Summarise long threads when they resolve — the Manager can do this on request.
  • Close threads explicitly. An open thread signals unfinished business.
