What problem does it solve? When multiple agents collaborate in a Squad workspace, it is often unclear which file is authoritative, who is allowed to write a given file, and which file wins when two sources conflict. This Skill provides the complete file-by-file source-of-truth hierarchy so the coordinator can resolve write conflicts, decide where state belongs, and answer ownership questions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - File Hierarchy Reference: A full table mapping every Squad file (decisions.md, team.md, routing.md, charters, audit trails, and more) to its status, allowed writers, and allowed readers. - Precedence and Append-Only Rules: Explicit rules stating that squad.agent.md overrides all other files and that append-only logs must never be retroactively edited. - State Backend Awareness: Distinguishes static on-disk config from mutable runtime state accessed via squad_state_read/write/append tools. - Use Case: Before writing to .squad/decisions.md or reviewing whether an agent violated the append-only rule on history.md, the coordinator loads this Skill to confirm the correct writer and enforcement rule. ## Quick Start Ask the coordinator to load the coordinator-source-of-truth skill to determine which agent may write a specific Squad file.
