SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Users of the Squad multi-agent framework often do not know which operations are available or how to invoke them. This Skill gives the coordinator a structured catalog of common Squad commands so it can present an interactive menu, collect arguments, and execute the right operation without the user memorizing CLI syntax. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Categorized command catalog: Covers Install & Upgrade, Team Management, Issues & PRs, Plugins & Skills, Model & Cost, and Sessions & State operations. - Interactive menu flow: Presents categories first, drills down into operations, collects arguments with defaults, and asks for confirmation on destructive actions. - Direct intent matching: Phrases like "upgrade squad" or "add team member" skip the menu and go straight to the matching operation. - Use Case: A user types "what can squad do" and the coordinator shows a six-category menu, then walks them through running squad watch with a chosen polling interval. ## Quick Start Ask the coordinator "show me squad commands" or "what can squad do" to open the interactive category menu.

Frequently Asked Questions about squad-commands

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I see all available Squad commands?▼

Say "squad commands", "help", or "what can squad do" and the coordinator presents a category menu covering install, team management, issues, plugins, model settings, and session state. Pick a category to drill into specific operations.

How do I upgrade the Squad CLI to the latest version?▼

Run `squad upgrade` in a terminal, optionally choosing a state backend such as worktree, git-notes, orphan, or two-layer. In VS Code, use the integrated terminal to execute the command directly.

Can Squad commands run without an interactive prompt?▼

Yes. When ask_user interaction is unavailable, the catalog renders as a markdown table instead of a menu. Direct intent phrases like "how do I upgrade with state backend" also skip the menu entirely.

Which Squad operations require confirmation before running?▼

Destructive or state-changing operations ask for confirmation, including removing a team member, switching the state backend, removing a marketplace plugin, and archiving old decisions. Read-only actions like showing the roster do not confirm.

What are the limitations of squad watch in VS Code?▼

squad watch is a long-running foreground CLI process, so it is not viable inside VS Code without an integrated terminal. Run `squad watch --interval {n}` in a standalone terminal for continuous issue polling.
