Teams

An agent team holds a group of agents who work together for a common goal, which is the most granular collaboration unit. On a high level, a team consists of:

Member agents
Collaboration mechanism (e.g., decision making rules)
Services such as team toolbox and shared storage

Team properties

A team has the following properties:

Property Name	Type	Description
`name`	string	The name of the team
`agents`	list of agent names	The IDs of the agents in the team
`collaboration`	a `Collaboration` object	The collaboration mechanism that defines rules for team decision making
`services`	a list of `Services` objects	A list of services provided by the team

Creating a Team

In Chorus, you can create a team by instantiating the Team class and providing the necessary properties:

from chorus.teams import Team
from chorus.collaboration import CentralizedCollaboration
from chorus.agents import ConversationalTaskAgent, TaskCoordinatorAgent

# Create agents
coordinator = TaskCoordinatorAgent(
    "TeamCoordinator",
    instruction="Coordinate the team to solve problems",
    reachable_agents={
        "Researcher": "Finds information through web search",
        "Analyst": "Analyzes data and provides insights"
    }
)

researcher = ConversationalTaskAgent(
    "Researcher",
    instruction="Find information through web search",
    tools=[WebSearchTool(), WebRetrieverTool()]
)

analyst = ConversationalTaskAgent(
    "Analyst",
    instruction="Analyze data and provide insights"
)

# Create a team with centralized collaboration
team = Team(
    name="ResearchTeam",
    agents=[coordinator, researcher, analyst],
    collaboration=CentralizedCollaboration(
        coordinator=coordinator.get_name()
    )
)

Team Communication

Agents within a team can communicate with each other through messages. The team provides a communication channel that allows agents to send and receive messages:

# Send a message to the team
chorus.get_environment().send_message(
    source="human",
    destination=team.get_identifier(),
    content="Research the impact of climate change on agriculture"
)

Team Services

Teams can provide various services to their member agents, such as:

Shared Storage: A shared space where agents can store and retrieve information
Team Toolbox: A collection of tools that all team members can access
Voting Mechanisms: Services for collective decision making

These services enhance the collaboration capabilities of the team and allow agents to work together more effectively.
