What the skill teaches

A Squad template, copied into gh-aw's .squad folder, that tells the Squad coordinator how to detect which GitHub Copilot surface it runs on and adjust how it starts sub-agents. With the task tool it follows the CLI path, with per-agent models and background runs; with runSubagent it follows the VS Code rules, launching parallel agents in one turn, accepting the session model and placing the Scribe logger last; with neither it does the work inline. A table lists which features degrade where, and it warns that the sql tool exists only in the CLI.

Capabilities

  • Detect whether Squad runs in Copilot CLI or VS Code
  • Adapt sub-agent spawning to the available tools
  • Avoid CLI-only tools in cross-platform paths
