SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Users of the Squad multi-agent framework often do not know which CLI command or coordinator flow handles a given task, forcing them to memorize command syntax and configuration file locations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Interactive Command Menu: Presents six categories (Install & Upgrade, Team Management, Issues & PRs, Plugins & Skills, Model & Cost, Sessions & State) as a drill-down picker with back and cancel support. - Intent Matching: Maps natural language phrases like "upgrade squad" or "add team member" directly to the correct operation, skipping the menu when a direct match exists. - Guided Argument Collection: Prompts for required arguments with choices and defaults, then executes shell commands, edits .squad/config.json, or delegates to the Squad coordinator agent. - Use Case: A user types "squad commands" and is walked through connecting a GitHub repo, triaging issues, and activating the Ralph work monitor without reading any documentation. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show squad commands or say "what can squad do" to open the interactive category menu.

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

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

Invoke the /squad slash command or say "squad commands" to open an interactive menu organized into six categories. Pick a category, then select an operation, and the skill collects any required arguments before running it.

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

Run the Upgrade Squad CLI entry, which executes "squad upgrade" in your terminal. You can optionally specify a state backend (worktree, git-notes, orphan, or two-layer), or keep the current one by default.

Can I change the default model for Squad agents?▼

Yes, the Set Default Model operation edits the defaultModel field in .squad/config.json. You can also set per-agent overrides via agentModelOverrides or clear preferences to revert to the system default.

Does squad watch work inside VS Code?▼

Squad watch is a long-running foreground CLI process, so it requires a terminal. In VS Code you must run "squad watch --interval N" in the integrated terminal rather than through the skill.

What happens when I remove a team member from Squad?▼

The Remove Team Member flow deletes the agent from the roster along with their charter and history files. Because this is destructive, the skill asks for explicit confirmation before proceeding.
