FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate cross-squad work with safe handoffs?

Cross-squad coordination applies when tasks span multiple squads, require shared decisions, or involve cross-repo handoffs. You use it for scenarios like architectural changes or platform-wide features that require shared decisions.

How does manifest-based discovery work for cross-squad coordination?

Manifest-based discovery locates other squads via well-known paths, upstream configs, and registries. This mechanism allows your squad to find and interact with other squads for controlled delegation.

Can I share context across squads without leaking internal state or secrets?

Yes, context sharing and safe handoffs are designed with minimal exposure of secrets and controlled delegation. This ensures internal state leakage is minimized during cross-squad task governance.

What is the best way to delegate tasks across multiple Squad instances?

The best way to delegate tasks is by initiating a cross-squad handoff with a concise description and acceptance criteria. This provides traceability and governance for cross-squad workflows.

When should I not use cross-squad coordination for task delegation?

You should not use cross-squad coordination for tasks that remain entirely within a single squad. It is specifically built for tasks spanning multiple squads or requiring cross-repo handoffs.
