What the skill teaches

A Squad template stored in gh-aw's .squad folder for handing scoped work to sub-agents. Each spawn must say why the work matters as well as what to do, the coordinator checks the output against success criteria after every round, and later rounds carry forward what was tried and what is still missing. After three rounds the coordinator stops retrying, writes a summary to the decisions inbox, labels the issue as needing a decision and tells the user. It lists when to retry and when to escalate.

Capabilities

  • Brief sub-agents with the reason for a task
  • Check sub-agent output against success criteria
  • Escalate after three unsuccessful rounds
