To standardize multi-agent collaboration, apply structured patterns for worktree awareness, decision logging to a shared inbox, and reviewer protocols to prevent conflicting actions. This ensures all squad agents coordinate shared workspaces consistently.

Decision recording works by having agents write decisions to a shared inbox directory, such as .squad/decisions/inbox/, using a standardized file naming convention with clear metadata. This centralizes team communication and prevents unilateral work.

The best way to log multi-agent decisions is writing a markdown file to the .squad/decisions/inbox/ directory using your TEAM ROOT path. This structured approach notifies relevant teammates and coordinates input requests effectively.

You need centralized collaboration patterns when a feature requires input from multiple agents operating in the same repository. Applying these patterns ensures consistent worktree awareness, cross-agent communication, and structured decision recording.

These collaboration patterns are designed for multi-agent environments where teams coordinate shared workspaces. While they encourage requesting input from teammates and coordinating with a coordinator, the structured inbox-based workflows also standardize communication independently.

Your squad agent needs to reference the TEAM ROOT to stay aligned across the repository and ensure decisions are written to the correct relative .squad paths. This prevents duplication and maintains consistent worktree awareness.
