Problem Statement

When spinning up an agent team, the team lead is always there and they're expected to manage what all the other agents are doing. However, in my experience, they're really bad at managing.
A few examples:

• They have a tendency to micro-manage: giving agents detailed instructions of what to do, rather than a problem statement they need to solve
• They rush in to answer questions themselves, rather than asking an agent with subject matter expertise
• They struggle to follow any tasks an agent has picked up which didn't come from them directly
• When there's a communication problem with one agent, they re-delegate work to another agent instead of diagnosing where the communication fault is. This can lead to duplicate work happening in parallel.
• They assume something hasn't happen (eg a pull request merged) because no-one has told them explicitly that it happened, rather than checking whether it has happened or not.
• They spin down the team when they consider it "idle", without any confirmation that it is.

In my experience, this is a really bad way to run a team.

Proposed Solution

Train the default team lead with some modern management skills.

Alternative Solutions

I've tried giving the team lead better instructions, but #34312 means those instructions get passed down to all agents, which is far from ideal.

But regardless, I think the default team lead should be a better manager out-of-the-box.
