What problem does it solve?
When an organization runs multiple Squad instances, teams need a reliable, low-coupling way to discover capabilities, share only relevant context, and hand off work across repository boundaries without modifying another squad's internal files.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Manifest-based discovery: Locate squads and their capabilities via .squad/manifest.json, upstream lists, or a central registry.
- Safe context sharing: Provide concise handoff details and acceptance criteria while excluding secrets and internal state.
- Issue-based delegation & tracking: Create issues or PRs in target repos with a cross-squad label, record links back to the origin, and poll status until completion.
- Guardrails & anti-patterns: Enforce non-destructive communication (issues/PRs only), avoid tight coupling, and prevent circular delegation.
Quick Start
Delegate a task to another squad by creating an issue in the target repository that includes context, acceptance criteria, a cross-squad label, and a link back to the originating work.
