Playbook：多团队

Most of the time I run my Grok Bots as separate chats. Coder in one, Writer in another, Researcher in a third. That's all fine until you need to juggle a couple of different projects at the same time. It becomes hard to filter out signal from noise, and keep them in sync.

多数时候，我的 Grok Bot 是分开的私聊。Coder 一个窗，Writer 一个窗，Researcher 再一个。这样没问题，直到你要同时顾好几个不同项目。信号和噪音就难分开，也难让它们同步。

As a human and a team of humans, we tend to coordinate work in projects. Each project gets a spec, a plan, perhaps a Slack channel to communicate in. Then for each project, you'd have different tasks that someone takes on. So I replicated that. Each project gets a Grok Bot channel and an entry in a Notion database. Note that this is an experimental pattern I'm still trying out.

作为一个人、以及一支人的团队，我们倾向按项目协调。每个项目有规格、有计划，也许还有一个 Slack 频道说话。然后每个项目里，再有不同任务，有人认领。于是我照着复制。每个项目有一个 Grok Bot 频道，Notion 库里有一条。注意：这是实验性做法，我还在试。

One project, one channel, one roster.

一个项目，一个频道，一份编制。

I created two databases in Notion, Projects and Tasks. Then I created a projects (plural) Manager bot. This takes care of the higher-level coordination of projects and tasks. It has a Project Ops skill that takes care of creating a project, opening a channel, and staffing it with the right bots. It's responsible for the meta work.

我在 Notion 里建了两个库：Projects 和 Tasks。然后建了一个管「多个项目」的 Manager Bot。它负责项目和任务的更高一层协调。它有一个 Project Ops skill，负责建项目、开频道、配上对的 Bot。它管的是管事本身的活。

One project equals one channel in the sidebar, and the channel has the team of bots (and me) in it.

一个项目等于侧栏里一个频道，频道里是这队 Bot，加上我。

Staffing rules I added: Reuse existing bots first. This can be a Coder, Researcher, Writer, or anything else that I've already defined. Propose at most five bots besides the PM. Each channel is limited at six bots (just an arbitrary number I came up with). Create a new bot only when nothing on the bench fits, and only after I say yes. This could be a specialist in a domain that gets reused in the future, or an ephemeral one only for this project.

我加的配人规矩：先复用现成的 Bot。可以是已经定义过的 Coder、Researcher、Writer，或任何别的。PM 之外最多再提议五个。每个频道限六个 Bot（作者自己拍的数，不是官方上限）。板凳席上没有合适的，才新建；而且要我点头。新建的可以是以后还能复用的领域专家，也可以是只为这个项目存在的一次性 Bot。

Here's what the Projects database looks like: (screenshot on the original page: Projects database in Notion)

原页有一张 Notion 里 Projects 库的截图。这里不重画。意思就是：项目落在库里，频道和编制跟它绑在一起。

Once the channel exists, I talk in it with the roster and we scope out the tasks for the project. The PM sits in the channel too, but mostly watches progress and makes sure the databases are up to date.

频道一有，我就在里面跟编制说话，把这个项目的任务范围谈清楚。PM 也坐在频道里，但多半是看进度，并确保两个库是新的。

When a bot gets stuck, or needs more input, it'll mark its task as Blocked and then ping me in the channel. Often the bots can accomplish a lot on their own, and I can just watch the cards getting moved around. Quite satisfying, to be honest.

Bot 卡住了，或需要更多输入，会把任务标成 Blocked，再在频道里 ping 我。很多时候 Bot 自己就能干完不少，我只要看着卡片在挪。说实话挺爽。

The interesting part is that the more I build on this, the more it resembles a system initially built for humans. A board, a manager, specialists claiming tasks, a blocked column, a channel. That is the experiment so far. If you run a team of bots, I want to see your setup. How do you run yours?

有意思的是：我在这上面建得越多，它越像一套一开始为人设计的系统。一块看板、一个经理、专家认领任务、一列 Blocked、一个频道。实验到目前就是这样。如果你也在跑一队 Bot，作者想看你的搭法。
