Frequently Asked Questions
FAQPage SchemaHow to install Squad?▼
Run `npx skills add bradygaster/squad --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all skills in this suite globally.
What does Squad do?▼
Squad creates a team of specialist AI agents (lead, frontend, backend, tester) that live as files in your repo and coordinate work through GitHub Copilot. They persist across sessions, share decisions, and handle triage, planning, and PRs.
How do I control Squad from GitHub issues?▼
Post slash commands like `/squad cast`, `/squad plan`, or `/squad triage` as issue comments. Squad's workflows respond by opening PRs, posting plans, and creating issues automatically.
Does Squad work with VS Code and the Copilot CLI?▼
Yes. Squad runs as a custom Copilot agent in VS Code Chat and via `copilot --agent squad` in the CLI, adapting its behavior to each platform.
Can non-developers use Squad?▼
Yes. You describe what you're building in plain English, confirm the proposed team, and the agents handle the technical execution while you keep approval control.
