What the skill teaches
A Squad template, copied into gh-aw's .squad folder, describing the Squad project's own three-branch model, in which feature work starts from a dev branch rather than main and an insiders branch carries early-access builds. Issue branches follow a squad/{number}-{slug} pattern; the steps label the issue as in progress with gh, open a draft pull request against dev, push, mark it ready and delete the branch after merge. It also covers how changes are promoted between branches. It records one repository's conventions and would need adapting elsewhere.
Capabilities
- Branch from dev with Squad's naming pattern
- Open draft pull requests with the gh CLI
- Promote changes from dev to insiders and main
