A short Squad template in gh-aw's .squad folder on keeping agent history files accurate.
What the skill teaches
A short Squad template in gh-aw's .squad folder on keeping agent history files accurate. Because later agents read these files without other context, it asks agents to record what finally happened rather than what was first requested, to wait for confirmation before writing, to correct an entry straight away when a decision is reversed, and to make each entry understandable on its own. It cites an incident in the Squad project where a stale entry misled later work, and lists correct and incorrect example entries.
Capabilities
- Record final outcomes in agent history
- Correct history when a decision is reversed
- Write entries that stand on their own
Install
The project doesn't document install steps that we could confirm. See the project's own instructions
