What problem does it solve?
Coordinating work across multiple Squad instances can create friction if context isn't shared and handoffs are not clearly defined. This Skill provides a structured approach to discovery, context sharing, and controlled delegation across repository boundaries to keep squads loosely coupled.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Discovery via Manifest: Squads publish a .squad/manifest.json declaring name, capabilities, and contact information to enable automatic cross-squad discovery.
- Context Sharing: When delegating work, share only what the target squad needs, including capability lists, relevant decisions, and a concise handoff description; avoid exposing internal state or secrets.
- Work Handoff Protocol: Verify manifest acceptance, create an issue in the target repository with a clear title and cross-squad label, and track progress until completion.
- Feedback Loop: Poll the delegated work status and update the originating context to close the loop when the work merges.
Quick Start
Publish a squad manifest, share decisions, and delegate work across repositories using the cross-squad handoff protocol.
