How do I initialize a new squad roster without making premature file changes?▼

Squad initialization can be done safely by proposing a roster first and awaiting explicit user confirmation before any file operations occur. This phased approach prevents premature setup by guiding you through proposal and creation workflows.

What is phased team initiation and how does it manage casting state?▼

Phased team initiation coordinates squad setup by proposing a cast based on project description, validating it via user prompt, then initializing the .squad directory structure and casting state after approval.

How do I set up a Copilot squad when the roster under Members is empty?▼

When the roster is empty, you can prompt for project details to propose an initial roster, wait for explicit confirmation, and then proceed with squad creation and memory initialization.

Does the team initialization workflow create files before user confirmation?▼

No, the team initialization workflow uses a fixed flow with no file creation until explicit confirmation is received via an ask_user prompt, ensuring no structural changes happen prematurely.

Can I use squad management to seed agents with project context after roster approval?▼

Yes, after roster approval, squad management initializes the .squad directory structure and casting state, seeding agents with the project context to complete the team setup.
