The team catalog
A pre-built team is faster than assembling agents yourself. The catalog gives you twenty-one of them — lead, roster, suggested prompts, and a business area, ready to install in one click.
This is the right path most of the time. Build a team from scratch only when nothing in the catalog is close to the work you're doing.
What the catalog is
Open the Teams tab in the sidebar. Your own teams — the ones you've kept, built, or installed — sit at the top. Below them is the Templates section: a library of pre-built teams you can install as-is or copy and customize. Templates in the catalog carry a small System badge on the card.
How they're organized
Each template has a business area — Operations, Marketing, Engineering, Legal, Strategy, Sales, or HR. The Templates section has a category filter dropdown to narrow by business area, plus a search box for finer matches (name, description, member job titles). There's no separate use-case filter — pick by what kind of work the team does, then read the description to confirm fit.
What's on a team card
A card shows what you'll get:
- Name — what the team is called.
- Description — a one-or-two-line pitch.
- Member count — how many agents are on the roster.
- Business area — the team's category badge.
- Lead — the lead agent's name, shown on the card so you know who'll front the team.
The card itself is the action — click anywhere on it to install.
Using a template
Click a team card. Claos creates a new copy of the template in your workspace: the team record itself, a new agent definition for every member that doesn't already exist in your workspace, and the join records that tie the roster together. The first listed agent becomes the lead by default.
This is a copy, not a reference. Editing the team you just installed won't change the template, and updates to the catalog won't reach back to your copy. If you install the same template twice you get two separate teams.
If the workspace already has an agent with the same slug as one in the template, that existing agent is reused rather than duplicated — useful when a utility agent like a daily-briefer is shared across packs.
A few teams to know
Worth previewing a handful before you scroll the whole list:
- Daily Office. The universal personal-productivity bundle — the team most users meet first.
- Office of the CEO. Strategy and executive-level coordination.
- Knowledge & Operations. Internal-ops focused; good when the work is documentation, SOPs, and process upkeep.
- Founder. Strategy team shaped around the things a founder does in week one — pitch, hiring, fundraising support.
The full list is on the Templates section itself; browse by category if you have a specific area in mind.
Templates vs packs
Easy to mix up:
- A team template is one team — a lead and a roster, ready to use.
- A pack is a workspace-shaped bundle — usually a team plus the projects and folders the team needs. See What is a pack?.
Most new workspaces start with a pack rather than a single team. Use a team template when you want to add another team to an already-set-up workspace.
Tips and gotchas
- "Use" copies; it doesn't subscribe. Catalog updates won't flow into teams you've already installed.
- The catalog is curated — no ratings, no reviews, no popularity scores. Each template was authored and tested before shipping.
- Counts and names can change as new teams are added. The number cited above and the highlight picks were accurate at writing; if the catalog looks different in your workspace, the live UI is the source of truth.
