FAQPage Schema

How do I delegate tasks across cross-functional teams working in different repositories?▼

Task delegation across cross-functional teams is managed by delegating work to another Squad's repository using the `squad-delegate` tool when a task falls outside the current Squad's scope, ensuring smooth handoff and shared context between boundaries.

What is a manifest file and why do I need one for squad coordination?▼

A manifest file for squad coordination is a required configuration that lists all known Squad details, enabling the system to identify available instances and their capabilities so that tasks can be discovered and delegated across team boundaries.

How do I discover all available Squad instances and their capabilities?▼

You can discover all available Squad instances and their capabilities by using the `squad-discover` tool, which reads the manifest files to list known Squads and identify what functions each cross-functional team can handle.

Can I share context with a receiving Squad during task handoff?▼

Yes, context sharing is supported during task handoff to ensure the receiving Squad can effectively take over the delegated work, providing them with the relevant information needed to continue processing across Squad boundaries.

What's the best way to orchestrate work across multiple Squad instances?▼

The best way to orchestrate work across multiple Squad instances is to use manifest files for discovery and apply `squad-delegate` for task delegation, reducing coordination overhead and ensuring context is shared for effective cross-team handoffs.

Do I need any external dependencies to manage cross-squad coordination?▼

No external dependencies are required to manage cross-squad coordination; the Skill operates independently using built-in scripts and reference components to handle manifest management, squad discovery, and task delegation.
