squad-commands: Workflow Automation for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Categorized catalog of common Squad operations. Coordinator reads this file and presents it as an interactive menu when the user asks for available commands or help.

Read full documentation

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

When the user triggers this skill ("squad commands", "help", "what can squad do", etc.):

Category-level menu first. Present category names as an ask_user choice list:

📋 Squad Commands — pick a category:
1. Install & Upgrade
2. Team Management
3. Issues & PRs
4. Plugins & Skills
5. Model & Cost
6. Sessions & State

Drill-down. After selection, show operation titles in that category as a second ask_user list.
Direct match skips the menu. If the user says "how do I upgrade with state backend," match to the specific entry and go straight to argument collection.
Compact fallback. If ask_user is unavailable, render as a markdown table instead.
Back / Cancel. Include "← Back to categories" in sub-menus. Include "Cancel" in confirmation prompts. Respect "never mind" / "cancel" at any point.

Argument collection: For entries with args, iterate the list sequentially. Use ask_user with choices when choices is provided; free-text prompt otherwise. If the user says "just do it" or "defaults are fine," skip remaining args and use their defaults.

## Menu Presentation Rules

When the user triggers this skill ("squad commands", "help", "what can squad do", etc.):

1. **Category-level menu first.** Present category names as an `ask_user` choice list:
   ```
   📋 Squad Commands — pick a category:
   1. Install & Upgrade
   2. Team Management
   3. Issues & PRs
   4. Plugins & Skills
   5. Model & Cost
   6. Sessions & State
   ```
2. **Drill-down.** After selection, show operation titles in that category as a second `ask_user` list.
3. **Direct match skips the menu.** If the user says "how do I upgrade with state backend," match to the specific entry and go straight to argument collection.
4. **Compact fallback.** If `ask_user` is unavailable, render as a markdown table instead.
5. **Back / Cancel.** Include "← Back to categories" in sub-menus. Include "Cancel" in confirmation prompts. Respect "never mind" / "cancel" at any point.

**Argument collection:** For entries with `args`, iterate the list sequentially. Use `ask_user` with choices when `choices` is provided; free-text prompt otherwise. If the user says "just do it" or "defaults are fine," skip remaining args and use their defaults.

Review the source

Skill source recorded

Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.

Review before install: Avoid automatic install

Permission surface may require sandboxing
Financial research output is not financial advice; require human review before any live investment decision
Potential broker, wallet, exchange, or real-money execution surface; sandbox and explicit approval are required
Financial research output is not financial advice; require human review before any live investment decision.

Open full audit

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
