cross-squad

Cross-squad orchestration coordinates task handoffs by enforcing a structured protocol that creates issues with clear acceptance criteria, tracks progress, and closes the loop between squads. It ensures safe collaboration through selective context transfer.

Manifest-based discovery allows squads to publish manifests and registries that agents query to locate the right squad for a task. This enables automated discovery of capable squads across an organization without manual routing.

Selective context transfer shares only relevant decisions and rationale with the target squad to reduce coupling. This structured handoff protocol ensures the receiving squad gets necessary information without inheriting unrelated dependencies.

You need cross-squad orchestration when work spans multiple Squad instances and requires coordinated discovery, context sharing, and seamless handoffs. It solves the problem of safely delegating responsibilities across organizational boundaries.

Yes, the handoff protocol creates issues or tasks in the target squad with clear acceptance criteria, tracks progress, and closes the loop upon completion. This ensures accountability throughout the cross-repo collaboration lifecycle.

No dependencies are required. The Skill operates independently using manifest-based discovery and a structured handoff protocol to coordinate work across multiple Squad instances without external integrations.
