The prompt is the only required parameter — pass the full agent prompt (charter, identity, task, hygiene, response order) exactly as you would on CLI. +- **Parallelism:** Spawn ALL concurrent agents in a SINGLE turn. They run in parallel automatically. This replaces `mode: "background"` + `read_agent` polling. +- **Model selection:** Accept the session model. Do NOT attempt per-spawn model selection or fallback chains — they only work on CLI. In Phase 1, all subagents use whatever model the user selected in VS Code's model picker. +- **Scribe:** Cannot fire-and-forget. Batch Scribe as the LAST subagent in any parallel group. Scribe is light work (file ops only), so the blocking is tolerable. +- **Launch table:** Skip it. Results arrive with the response, not separately. By the time the coordinator speaks, the work is already done. +- **`read_agent`:** Skip entirely. Results return automatically when subagents complete. +- **`agent_type`:** Drop it. All VS Code subagents have full tool access by default. Subagents inherit the parent's tools. +- **`description`:** Drop it. The agent name is already in the prompt. +- **Prompt content:** Keep ALL prompt structure — charter, identity, task, hygiene, response order blocks are surface-independent. + +### Feature Degradation Table + +| Feature | CLI | VS Code | Degradation | +|---------|-----|---------|-------------| +| Parallel fan-out | `mode: "background"` + `read_agent` | Multiple subagents in one turn | None — equivalent concurrency | +| Model selection | Per-spawn `model` param (4-layer hierarchy) | Session model only (Phase 1) | Accept session model, log intent | +| Scribe fire-and-forget | Background, never read | Sync, must wait | Batch with last parallel group | +| Launch table UX | Show table → results later | Skip table → results with response | UX only — results are correct | +| SQL tool | Available | Not available | Avoid SQL in cross-platform code paths | +| Response order bug | Critical workaround | Possibly necessary (unverified) | Keep the block — harmless if unnecessary | + +### SQL Tool Caveat + +The `sql` tool is **CLI-only**.

Steps 1 and 5 are the entire distributed extension. **Note:** "WORK" means the agent performs its normal squad duties — it does NOT mean "build mesh infrastructure." + +### The mesh.json Config + +```json +{ + "squads": { + "auth-squad": { "zone": "local", "path": "../auth-squad/.mesh" }, + "ci-squad": { + "zone": "remote-trusted", + "source": "git@github.com:our-org/ci-squad.git", + "ref": "main", + "sync_to": ".mesh/remotes/ci-squad" + }, + "partner-fraud": { + "zone": "remote-opaque", + "source": "https://partner.dev/squad-contracts/fraud/SUMMARY.md", + "sync_to": ".mesh/remotes/partner-fraud", + "auth": "bearer" + } + } +} +``` + +Three zone types, one file. Local squads need only a path. Remote-trusted need a git URL. Remote-opaque need an HTTP URL. + +### Write Partitioning + +Each squad writes only to its own directory (`boards/{self}.md`, `squads/{self}/*`, `drops/{date}-{self}-*.md`). No two squads write to the same file. Git push/pull never conflicts. If push fails ("branch is behind"), the fix is always `git pull --rebase && git push`. + +### Trust Boundaries + +Trust maps to git permissions: +- **Same repo access** = full mesh visibility +- **Read-only access** = can observe, can't write +- **No access** = invisible (correct behavior) + +For selective visibility, use separate repos per audience (internal, partner, public). Git permissions ARE the trust negotiation. + +### Phased Rollout + +- **Phase 0:** Convention only — document zones, agree on mesh.json fields, manually run `git pull`/`git push`. Zero new code. +- **Phase 1:** Sync script (~30 lines bash or PowerShell) when manual sync gets tedious. +- **Phase 2:** Published contracts + curl fetch when a Zone 3 partner appears. +- **Phase 3:** Never. No MCP federation, A2A, service discovery, message queues. + +**Important:** Phases are NOT auto-advanced. These are project-level decisions — you start at Phase 0 (manual sync) and only move forward when the team decides complexity is justified. + +### Mesh State Repo + +The shared mesh state repo is a plain git repository — NOT a Squad project. It holds: +- One directory per participating squad +- Each directory contains at minimum a SUMMARY.md with the squad's current state +- A root README explaining what the repo is and who participates + +No `.squad/` folder, no agents, no automation. Write partitioning means each squad only pushes to its own directory. The repo is a rendezvous point, not an intelligent system. + +If you want a squad that *observes* mesh health, that's a separate Squad project that lists the state repo as a Zone 2 remote in its `mesh.json` — it does NOT live inside the state repo. + +## Examples + +### Developer Laptop + CI Squad (Zone 2) + +Auth-squad agent wakes up. `git pull` brings ci-squad's latest results. Agent reads: "3 test failures in auth module." Adjusts work. Pushes results when done. **Overhead: one `git pull`, one `git push`.** + +### Two Orgs Collaborating (Zone 3) + +Payment-squad fetches partner's published SUMMARY.md via curl. Reads: "Risk scoring v3 API deprecated April 15. New field `device_fingerprint` required." The consuming agent (in payment-squad's team) reads this information and uses it to inform its work — for example, updating payment integration code to include the new field. Partner can't see payment-squad's internals. + +### Same Org, Shared Mesh Repo (Zone 2) + +Three squads on different machines. One shared git repo holds the mesh. Each squad: `git pull` before work, `git push` after. Write partitioning ensures zero merge conflicts. + +## AGENT WORKFLOW (Deterministic Setup) + +When a user invokes this skill to set up a distributed mesh, follow these steps **exactly, in order:** + +### Step 1: ASK the user for mesh topology + +Ask these questions (adapt phrasing naturally, but get these answers): + +1. **Which squads are participating?** (List of squad names) +2. **For each squad, which zone is it in?** + - `local` — same filesystem (just need a path) + - `remote-trusted` — different machine, same org, shared git access (need git URL + ref) + - `remote-opaque` — different org, no shared auth (need HTTPS URL to published contract) +3. **For each squad, what's the connection info?** + - Local: relative or absolute path to their `.mesh/` directory + - Remote-trusted: git URL (SSH or HTTPS), ref (branch/tag), and where to sync it to locally + - Remote-opaque: HTTPS URL to their SUMMARY.md, where to sync it, and auth type (none/bearer) +4. **Where should the shared state live?** (For Zone 2 squads: git repo URL for the mesh state, or confirm each squad syncs independently) + +### Step 2: GENERATE `mesh.json` + +Using the answers from Step 1, create a `mesh.json` file at the project root. Use `mesh.json.example` from THIS skill's directory (`.squad/skills/distributed-mesh/mesh.json.example`) as the schema template. + +Structure: + +```json +{ + "squads": { + "": { "zone": "local", "path": "" }, + "": { + "zone": "remote-trusted", + "source": "", + "ref": "", + "sync_to": ".mesh/remotes/" + }, + "": { + "zone": "remote-opaque", + "source": "", + "sync_to": ".mesh/remotes/", + "auth": "" + } + } +} +``` + +Write this file to the project root. Do NOT write any other code. + +### Step 3: COPY sync scripts + +Copy the bundled sync scripts from THIS skill's directory into the project root: + +- **Source:** `.squad/skills/distributed-mesh/sync-mesh.sh` +- **Destination:** `sync-mesh.sh` (project root) + +- **Source:** `.squad/skills/distributed-mesh/sync-mesh.ps1` +- **Destination:** `sync-mesh.ps1` (project root) + +These are bundled resources. Do NOT generate them — COPY them directly. + +### Step 4: RUN `--init` (if Zone 2 state repo exists) + +If the user specified a Zone 2 shared state repo in Step 1, run the initialization: + +**On Unix/Linux/macOS:** +```bash +bash sync-mesh.sh --init +``` + +**On Windows:** +```powershell +.\sync-mesh.ps1 -Init +``` + +This scaffolds the state repo structure (squad directories, placeholder SUMMARY.md files, root README). + +**Skip this step if:** +- No Zone 2 squads are configured (local/opaque only) +- The state repo already exists and is initialized + +### Step 5: WRITE a decision entry + +Create a decision file at `.squad/decisions/inbox/-mesh-setup.md` with this content: + +```markdown +### : Mesh configuration + +**By:** (via distributed-mesh skill) + +**What:** Configured distributed mesh with squads across zones + +**Squads:** +- `` — Zone — +- `` — Zone — +- ... + +**State repo:** + +**Why:** +``` + +Write this file. The Scribe will merge it into the main decisions file later. + +### Step 6: STOP + +**You are done.** Do not: +- Generate sync scripts (they're bundled with this skill — COPY them) +- Write validator code +- Write test files +- Create any other modules, libraries, or application code +- Modify existing squad files (team.md, routing.md, charters) +- Auto-advance to Phase 2 or Phase 3 + +Output a simple completion message: + +``` +✅ Mesh configured. Created: +- mesh.json ( squads) +- sync-mesh.sh and sync-mesh.ps1 (copied from skill bundle) +- Decision entry: .squad/decisions/inbox/ + +Run `bash sync-mesh.sh` (or `.\sync-mesh.ps1` on Windows) before agents start to materialize remote state. +``` + +--- + +## Anti-Patterns + +**❌ Code generation anti-patterns:** +- Writing `mesh-config-validator.js` or any validator module +- Writing test files for mesh configuration +- Generating sync scripts instead of copying the bundled ones from this skill's directory +- Creating library modules or utilities +- Building any code that "runs the mesh" — the mesh is read by agents, not executed + +**❌ Architectural anti-patterns:** +- Building a federation protocol — Git push/pull IS federation +- Running a sync daemon or server — Agents are not persistent.

Propose one — but **DO NOT create any files until the user confirms.** + +1. **Identify the user.** Run `git config user.name` to learn who you're working with. Use their name in conversation (e.g., *"Hey Brady, what are you building?"*). Store their name (NOT email) in `team.md` under Project Context. **Never read or store `git config user.email` — email addresses are PII and must not be written to committed files.** +2. Ask: *"What are you building? (language, stack, what it does)"* +3. **Cast the team.** Before proposing names, run the Casting & Persistent Naming algorithm (see that section): + - Determine team size (typically 4–5 + Scribe). + - Determine assignment shape from the user's project description. + - Derive resonance signals from the session and repo context. + - Select a universe. If the universe is custom, allocate character names from that universe based on the related list found in the `.squad/templates/casting/` directory. Prefer custom universes when available. + - Scribe is always "Scribe" — exempt from casting. + - Ralph is always "Ralph" — exempt from casting. +4. Propose the team with their cast names. Example (names will vary per cast): + +``` +🏗️ {CastName1} — Lead Scope, decisions, code review +⚛️ {CastName2} — Frontend Dev React, UI, components +🔧 {CastName3} — Backend Dev APIs, database, services +🧪 {CastName4} — Tester Tests, quality, edge cases +📋 Scribe — (silent) Memory, decisions, session logs +🔄 Ralph — (monitor) Work queue, backlog, keep-alive +``` + +5. Use the `ask_user` tool to confirm the roster. Provide choices so the user sees a selectable menu: + - **question:** *"Look right?"* + - **choices:** `["Yes, hire this team", "Add someone", "Change a role"]` + +**⚠️ STOP. Your response ENDS here. Do NOT proceed to Phase 2. Do NOT create any files or directories. Wait for the user's reply.** + +### Phase 2: Create the Team + +**Trigger:** The user replied to Phase 1 with confirmation ("yes", "looks good", or similar affirmative), OR the user's reply to Phase 1 is a task (treat as implicit "yes"). + +> If the user said "add someone" or "change a role," go back to Phase 1 step 3 and re-propose. Do NOT enter Phase 2 until the user confirms. + +6. Create the `.squad/` directory structure (see `.squad/templates/` for format guides or use the standard structure: team.md, routing.md, ceremonies.md, decisions.md, decisions/inbox/, casting/, agents/, orchestration-log/, skills/, log/). + +**Casting state initialization:** Copy `.squad/templates/casting-policy.json` to `.squad/casting/policy.json` (or create from defaults). Create `registry.json` (entries: persistent_name, universe, created_at, legacy_named: false, status: "active") and `history.json` (first assignment snapshot with unique assignment_id). + +**Seeding:** Each agent's `history.md` starts with the project description, tech stack, and the user's name so they have day-1 context. Agent folder names are the cast name in lowercase (e.g., `.squad/agents/ripley/`). The Scribe's charter includes maintaining `decisions.md` and cross-agent context sharing. + +**Team.md structure:** `team.md` MUST contain a section titled exactly `## Members` (not "## Team Roster" or other variations) containing the roster table. This header is hard-coded in GitHub workflows (`squad-heartbeat.yml`, `squad-issue-assign.yml`, `squad-triage.yml`, `sync-squad-labels.yml`) for label automation. If the header is missing or titled differently, label routing breaks. + +**Merge driver for append-only files:** Create or update `.gitattributes` at the repo root to enable conflict-free merging of `.squad/` state across branches: +``` +.squad/decisions.md merge=union +.squad/agents/*/history.md merge=union +.squad/log/** merge=union +.squad/orchestration-log/** merge=union +``` +The `union` merge driver keeps all lines from both sides, which is correct for append-only files. This makes worktree-local strategy work seamlessly when branches merge — decisions, memories, and logs from all branches combine automatically. + +7. Say: *"✅ Team hired. Try: '{FirstCastName}, set up the project structure'"* + +8. **Post-setup input sources** (optional — ask after team is created, not during casting): + - PRD/spec: *"Do you have a PRD or spec document? (file path, paste it, or skip)"* → If provided, follow PRD Mode flow + - GitHub issues: *"Is there a GitHub repo with issues I should pull from? (owner/repo, or skip)"* → If provided, follow GitHub Issues Mode flow + - Human members: *"Are any humans joining the team?

Workflow shows green checkmarks. + +### Step 5: Verify npm Publication + +Manually verify both packages are on npm with correct `latest` dist-tag. + +```bash +# Check SDK +npm view @bradygaster/squad-sdk version +# Output: 0.8.22 + +npm dist-tag ls @bradygaster/squad-sdk +# Output should show: latest: 0.8.22 + +# Check CLI +npm view @bradygaster/squad-cli version +# Output: 0.8.22 + +npm dist-tag ls @bradygaster/squad-cli +# Output should show: latest: 0.8.22 +``` + +**If versions don't match:** Something went wrong. Check workflow logs. DO NOT proceed with GitHub Release announcement until npm is correct. + +**Checkpoint:** Both packages show correct version. `latest` dist-tags point to the new version. + +### Step 6: Test Installation + +Verify packages can be installed from npm (real-world smoke test). + +```bash +# Create temp directory +mkdir /tmp/squad-release-test && cd /tmp/squad-release-test + +# Test SDK installation +npm init -y +npm install @bradygaster/squad-sdk +node -p "require('@bradygaster/squad-sdk/package.json').version" +# Output: 0.8.22 + +# Test CLI installation +npm install -g @bradygaster/squad-cli +squad --version +# Output: 0.8.22 + +# Cleanup +cd - +rm -rf /tmp/squad-release-test +``` + +**If installation fails:** npm registry issue or package metadata corruption. DO NOT announce release until this works. + +**Checkpoint:** Both packages install cleanly. Versions match. + +### Step 7: Sync dev to Next Preview + +After main release, sync dev to the next preview version. + +```bash +# Checkout dev +git checkout dev +git pull origin dev + +# Bump to next preview version (e.g., 0.8.23-preview.1) +NEXT_VERSION="0.8.23-preview.1" + +# Validate semver +node -p "require('semver').valid('$NEXT_VERSION')" +# Must output the version string, NOT null + +# Update all 3 package.json files +npm version $NEXT_VERSION --workspaces --include-workspace-root --no-git-tag-version + +# Commit +git add package.json packages/squad-sdk/package.json packages/squad-cli/package.json +git commit -m "chore: bump dev to $NEXT_VERSION + +Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>" + +# Push +git push origin dev +``` + +**Checkpoint:** dev branch now shows next preview version. Future dev builds will publish to `@preview` dist-tag. + +--- + +## Manual Publish (Fallback) + +If `publish.yml` workflow fails or needs to be bypassed, use `workflow_dispatch` to manually trigger publish. + +```bash +# Trigger manual publish +gh workflow run publish.yml -f version="0.8.22" + +# Monitor the run +gh run watch +``` + +**Rule:** Only use this if automated publish failed. Always investigate why automation failed and fix it for next release. + +--- + +## Rollback Procedure + +If a release is broken and needs to be rolled back: + +### 1. Unpublish from npm (Nuclear Option) + +**WARNING:** npm unpublish is time-limited (24 hours) and leaves the version slot burned. Only use if version is critically broken. + +```bash +# Unpublish (requires npm owner privileges) +npm unpublish @bradygaster/squad-sdk@0.8.22 +npm unpublish @bradygaster/squad-cli@0.8.22 +``` + +### 2. Deprecate on npm (Preferred) + +**Preferred approach:** Mark version as deprecated, publish a hotfix. + +```bash +# Deprecate broken version +npm deprecate @bradygaster/squad-sdk@0.8.22 "Broken release, use 0.8.22.1 instead" +npm deprecate @bradygaster/squad-cli@0.8.22 "Broken release, use 0.8.22.1 instead" + +# Publish hotfix version +# (Follow this runbook with version 0.8.22.1) +``` + +### 3. Delete GitHub Release and Tag + +```bash +# Delete GitHub Release +gh release delete "v0.8.22" --yes + +# Delete tag locally and remotely +git tag -d "v0.8.22" +git push origin --delete "v0.8.22" +``` + +### 4. Revert Commit on main + +```bash +# Revert version bump commit +git checkout main +git revert HEAD +git push origin main +``` + +**Checkpoint:** Tag and release deleted. main branch reverted. npm packages deprecated or unpublished. + +--- + +## Common Failure Modes + +### EOTP Error (npm OTP Required) + +**Symptom:** Workflow fails with `EOTP` error. +**Root cause:** NPM_TOKEN is a User token with 2FA enabled. CI can't provide OTP. +**Fix:** Replace NPM_TOKEN with an Automation token (no 2FA). See "NPM_TOKEN Verification" above. + +### Verify Step 404 (npm Propagation Delay) + +**Symptom:** Verify step fails with 404 even though publish succeeded. +**Root cause:** npm registry propagation delay (5-30 seconds). +**Fix:** Verify step now has retry loop (5 attempts, 15s interval). Should auto-resolve. If not, wait 2 minutes and re-run workflow. + +### Version Mismatch (package.json ≠ tag) + +**Symptom:** Verify step fails with "Package version (X) does not match target version (Y)". +**Root cause:** package.json version doesn't match the tag version. +**Fix:** Ensure all 3 package.json files were updated in Step 1. Re-run `npm version` if needed. + +### 4-Part Version Mangled by npm + +**Symptom:** Published version on npm doesn't match package.json (e.g., 0.8.21.4 became 0.8.2-1.4). +**Root cause:** 4-part versions are NOT valid semver. npm's parser misinterprets them. +**Fix:** NEVER use 4-part versions. Only 3-part (0.8.22) or prerelease (0.8.23-preview.1). Run `semver.valid()` before ANY commit. + +### Draft Release Didn't Trigger Workflow + +**Symptom:** Release created but `publish.yml` never ran. +**Root cause:** Release was created as a draft. Draft releases don't emit `release: published` event. +**Fix:** Edit release and change to published: `gh release edit "v$VERSION" --draft=false`.

Squad is a zero-dependency Node.js package that adds AI agent teams to any project. Understanding these patterns is essential before modifying any Squad source code. + +## Patterns + +### Zero Dependencies +Squad has zero runtime dependencies. Everything uses Node.js built-ins (`fs`, `path`, `os`, `child_process`). Do not add packages to `dependencies` in `package.json`. This is a hard constraint, not a preference. + +### Node.js Built-in Test Runner +Tests use `node:test` and `node:assert/strict` — no test frameworks. Run with `npm test`. Test files live in `test/`. The test command is `node --test test/`. + +### Error Handling — `fatal()` Pattern +All user-facing errors use the `fatal(msg)` function which prints a red `✗` prefix and exits with code 1. Never throw unhandled exceptions or print raw stack traces. The global `uncaughtException` handler calls `fatal()` as a safety net. + +### ANSI Color Constants +Colors are defined as constants at the top of `index.js`: `GREEN`, `RED`, `DIM`, `BOLD`, `RESET`. Use these constants — do not inline ANSI escape codes. + +### File Structure +- `.squad/` — Team state (user-owned, never overwritten by upgrades) +- `.squad/templates/` — Template files copied from `templates/` (Squad-owned, overwritten on upgrade) +- `.github/agents/squad.agent.md` — Coordinator prompt (Squad-owned, overwritten on upgrade) +- `templates/` — Source templates shipped with the npm package +- `.squad/skills/` — Team skills in SKILL.md format (user-owned) +- `.squad/decisions/inbox/` — Drop-box for parallel decision writes + +### Windows Compatibility +Always use `path.join()` for file paths — never hardcode `/` or `\` separators. Squad must work on Windows, macOS, and Linux. All tests must pass on all platforms. + +### Init Idempotency +The init flow uses a skip-if-exists pattern: if a file or directory already exists, skip it and report "already exists." Never overwrite user state during init. The upgrade flow overwrites only Squad-owned files. + +### Copy Pattern +`copyRecursive(src, target)` handles both files and directories. It creates parent directories with `{ recursive: true }` and uses `fs.copyFileSync` for files. + +## Examples + +```javascript +// Error handling +function fatal(msg) { + console.error(`${RED}✗${RESET} ${msg}`); + process.exit(1); +} + +// File path construction (Windows-safe) +const agentDest = path.join(dest, '.github', 'agents', 'squad.agent.md'); + +// Skip-if-exists pattern +if (!fs.existsSync(ceremoniesDest)) { + fs.copyFileSync(ceremoniesSrc, ceremoniesDest); + console.log(`${GREEN}✓${RESET} .squad/ceremonies.md`); +} else { + console.log(`${DIM}ceremonies.md already exists — skipping${RESET}`); +} +``` + +## Anti-Patterns +- **Adding npm dependencies** — Squad is zero-dep. Use Node.js built-ins only. +- **Hardcoded path separators** — Never use `/` or `\` directly. Always `path.join()`. +- **Overwriting user state on init** — Init skips existing files. Only upgrade overwrites Squad-owned files. +- **Raw stack traces** — All errors go through `fatal()`.

If the user explicitly states they are skipping clarification (e.g., exploratory spike), you may proceed, but must warn that downstream rework risk increases. + +Execution steps: + +1. Run `.specify/scripts/bash/check-prerequisites.sh --json --paths-only` from repo root **once** (combined `--json --paths-only` mode / `-Json -PathsOnly`). Parse minimal JSON payload fields: + - `FEATURE_DIR` + - `FEATURE_SPEC` + - (Optionally capture `IMPL_PLAN`, `TASKS` for future chained flows.) + - If JSON parsing fails, abort and instruct user to re-run `/speckit.specify` or verify feature branch environment. + - For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot"). + +2.
