By pattern
Patterns are reusable shapes behind many guides. Use this page when your use case is not listed exactly, but the workflow shape is familiar.
Common patterns
| Pattern | What it looks like in TeamMate |
|---|---|
| Intake and routing | A form, email, webhook, or chat message creates structured work and sends it to the right agent or human reviewer. |
| Research brief | An agent gathers internal knowledge and external context, then returns a concise brief in chat, Slack, email, or a document. |
| Draft and review | An agent produces a first draft, applies guardrails, and asks a human to approve before sending. |
| Triage and escalation | An agent classifies urgency, gathers context, and escalates only the cases that need people. |
| Scheduled digest | A trigger runs an agent on a schedule and sends a summary to the team. |
| Multi-step execution | A workflow or agent chain splits a larger process into collection, analysis, action, and follow-up. |
How to reuse a pattern
- Pick the closest pattern.
- Keep the structure of the guide.
- Replace the agent instructions, knowledge base, data source, and channel with the ones for your team.
- Test with a small set of realistic examples before publishing.
