SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enables squad agents on different machines to securely share work, coordinate execution, and pass results via a git-based task queue and lightweight signals.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Git-based task queue: submit tasks from one machine and fetch results on another.
  • Cross-machine coordination: supports laptops, DevBoxes, and cloud VMs with automated cycles.
  • Audit-ready: every task and result is recorded in git for traceability.

Quick Start

Create a task under .squad/cross-machine/tasks/ and push to the main branch to trigger the first cycle.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate tasks across multiple machines using git?

You can coordinate distributed work across machines using a git-based task queue. Machines exchange tasks and results through automated git pull and push cycles, keeping everything synchronized without a central server.

What is a git-based task queue for distributed work?

A git-based task queue is a system where tasks and results are shared via git repositories. It uses a YAML task format and schema validation to securely pass work between laptops, DevBoxes, and cloud VMs.

How do I submit a task to a cross-machine DevBox environment?

To submit a task, create a file under the .squad/cross-machine/tasks/ directory and push it to the main branch. This push triggers the automated cycle for other machines to fetch and execute the task.

Can I use GitHub issues to orchestrate cross-machine automation?

Yes, cross-machine coordination supports exchanging tasks and results via GitHub issues. This allows squad agents on different machines to securely share work and coordinate execution using lightweight signals.

How are task results audited in a distributed git workflow?

Task results are audited through immutable audit trails recorded in git. Every task and result is committed to the repository, ensuring complete traceability and audit readiness for all distributed squad work.

What security measures exist for remote task execution on cloud VMs?

Remote task execution is secured through command whitelisting and execution isolation. These measures prevent unauthorized commands from running when machines fetch tasks from the git-based queue.
