Build a 4-role AI team (PM + DEV + OPS + QA) in Cursor IDE. The AIs collaborate autonomously โ€” developing, deploying, and testing on their own. You only talk to the PM.

What's Inside

Content
Ch.1Why split into roles โ€” limits of single-agent AI
Ch.2Step-by-step setup: directory structure โ†’ role definitions โ†’ patrol rules โ†’ 4 chat tabs
Ch.3Core innovation: Filename as Protocol โ€” zero databases, zero message queues, 7 fields in one filename
Ch.4Task flow: 7-step closed loop from assignment โ†’ dev โ†’ deploy โ†’ test โ†’ archive
Ch.5Work standards: each role's "rules of engagement" + mandatory documentation
Ch.6Auto patrol bot: screen image recognition + event-driven, with full Python source (280 lines)
Ch.7Real-world results: production data + 9 running screenshots

Core Innovation: Filename as Protocol

No database, no message queue, no API โ€” one filename carries all routing information:

How It Works

You: "Do a round of security hardening."
PM-01: "Got it. Breaking it down now."

              โ€” Go do something else โ€”

PM-01 breaks down tasks โ†’ writes tickets to tasks/
DEV-01 auto picks up    โ†’ codes, self-tests, submits report
PM-01 auto reviews      โ†’ creates deploy task
OPS-01 auto deploys     โ†’ health check, writes report
PM-01 auto assigns      โ†’ creates test task
QA-01 auto tests        โ†’ security + stress tests, writes report
PM-01 auto archives     โ†’ all done

You come back: "Done?"
PM-01: "All complete. Here's the report."
