SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating work across multiple Squad instances requires discovery, safe context sharing, and reliable handoffs across repository boundaries to prevent fragmentation and delays.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discovery via .squad manifests, upstream references, and optional registries to locate capable squads
  • Context sharing during delegation to minimize exposed decisions and protect sensitive data
  • Work handoff protocol including issue creation, status tracking, and cross-squad feedback
  • Real-world use: coordinating UI and backend tasks spanning multiple repos

Quick Start

Publish your squad manifest and use the cross-squad tools to delegate a task to another squad.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate work handoffs across multiple squads and repositories?▼

You can coordinate cross-squad work by publishing a squad manifest to locate capable squads, sharing context during delegation, and using a handoff protocol with issue creation and status tracking to prevent fragmentation.

What is a .squad manifest and how does it help with cross-squad coordination?▼

A .squad manifest is a discovery file used to locate capable squads within an organization. It enables cross-squad coordination by allowing upstream references and optional registries to identify available teams for task delegation.

How do I delegate tasks to another squad without exposing sensitive decisions?▼

You delegate tasks safely by using controlled context sharing during the delegation process, which minimizes exposed decisions and protects sensitive data while transferring work across squad boundaries.

Can I use cross-squad coordination for multi-repo workflows spanning platform, frontend, data, and infra?▼

Yes, cross-squad coordination supports multi-repo workflows spanning platform, frontend, data, and infra, allowing you to seamlessly coordinate tasks like UI and backend dependencies across different repository boundaries.

What's the best way to track cross-squad task status after handing off work?▼

The best way to track cross-squad task status is by using a work handoff protocol that includes issue creation, status tracking, and cross-squad feedback to maintain visibility after delegation.

Why does cross-squad work often face fragmentation and delays, and how can I prevent it?▼

Cross-squad work faces fragmentation and delays due to disconnected repository boundaries. You can prevent this by using manifest discovery, protected context sharing, and a structured handoff protocol with issue tracking.
