| An agent is on teams the way a person is: through team membership, with no team or department of its own. Add it to teams when you create it, from its profile or from the team's page; the Agents sidebar groups agents by the teams they're on, with those on none last; what an agent is told about its teammates, team budgets, skills reach, Spend's By team and the People pages all read memberships. Agents with an old team name matching a team are moved onto it once; the rest are left off a team. Templates name a role only. The agents, teams and people guides say how. | 2 | * The roles g1t offers to hire an agent into, by title |
| 3 | * (docs.g1t.sh/guides/agents/, "Role templates"). A template names a role, | |
| 4 | * never a team: teams are memberships, added on the team or the agent. Each is an ordinary | |
| The docs folder is gone, and what it held lives where people read it: how a self-hosted g1t runs and how to deploy g1t to Cloudflare are pages on docs.g1t.sh under Run g1t yourself, and speed, rate limits and operating g1t.sh are sections of CONTRIBUTING.md; code that cited a file in docs/ now points to the page or section that covers it, or says what it means itself, and applied migrations and the runner images are left as they were. | 5 | * definition a workspace adopts, renames and changes: a fun name (with more |
| 6 | * to shuffle through), a title, broad responsibilities, a voice, routing | |
