SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the initial team formation phase of a project by proposing a roster and awaiting explicit user confirmation before any files or state are created.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Proposes an initial project team roster when no roster exists, using a defined casting process.
  • Uses an interactive confirmation step (ask_user) to align on roles before proceeding to Phase 2.
  • Seeds the project workspace scaffolding (.squad/) only after user approval, ensuring deliberate setup.

Quick Start

Initiate Phase 1 by identifying the user, proposing a candidate team roster, and awaiting explicit confirmation before creating any files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize a project team roster for a new initiative?

This workflow proposes a candidate team roster using a defined casting process and pauses for your explicit confirmation before creating any project state or files.

When do I need to redefine an existing project team roster?

You need to redefine a project team roster when no roster exists or when the current roster must be restructured, triggering the casting process for Phase 1 and Phase 2 role assignments.

How does the team setup workflow handle workspace scaffolding?

The team setup workflow enforces .squad directory scaffolding only after you provide explicit user approval, ensuring deliberate setup before any project state is created.

Can I automate team formation without manual confirmation steps?

No, the team formation workflow requires an explicit confirmation step using ask_user to align on roles before proceeding to Phase 2, preventing fully automated roster creation.

What is the casting process for assigning project team roles?

The casting process for project team roles involves proposing a candidate roster in Phase 1, awaiting user confirmation, and then guiding role assignments for Phase 2 initialization.
