SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating work across multiple Squad instances can be error-prone and slow without a shared protocol. This Skill defines a standardized approach to discovery, context sharing, and handoffs across squads.

Core Features & Use Cases

Discovery and delegation: Discover neighboring squads and delegate work across repo boundaries using a simple manifest-based protocol.
Context sharing: Share only necessary decisions and context to minimize coupling while maintaining governance.
Handoff protocol: Create cross-squad tasks, track progress, and close feedback loops as work is completed.

Quick Start

Coordinate a cross-squad handoff between platform-squad and frontend-squad for a multi-repo feature.

FAQPage Schema

How do I coordinate tasks across multiple development squads?▼

Coordinate tasks across multiple development squads by using a manifest-based discovery protocol to delegate work and share necessary context across repository boundaries. This standardizes handoffs and tracks progress until completion.

What is a .squad manifest and how does it work for cross-repo delegation?▼

A .squad manifest is a discovery file used to identify neighboring squads and enable cross-repo delegation. It allows instances to find each other and apply a standardized context-sharing protocol for governance.

How do I share context between squads without tight coupling?▼

Share context between squads without tight coupling by applying a standardized protocol that transfers only necessary decisions. This minimizes dependencies while maintaining visibility and governance across repo boundaries.

Can I track cross-squad handoffs and feedback loops across different repositories?▼

Yes, you can track cross-squad handoffs across different repositories using a standard delegation workflow. This protocol allows you to create inter-squad tasks, monitor progress, and close feedback loops as work completes.

When should I use a cross-squad orchestration workflow for my feature?▼

Use a cross-squad orchestration workflow when your feature or task spans several squads, requires shared context, or needs governance and visibility across repository boundaries to ensure coordinated delivery.
