Coordinating work across multiple Squad instances — discovery, delegation, and disambiguation when the user says 'squad' (the product) vs casual English 'group of agents'.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## Context

> **Read this FIRST any time the user says "squad" as a thing to spawn, delegate to, address, or fan out to** — e.g., *"spawn two squads of designers and devs"*, *"ask the other squad"*, *"delegate to a squad"*. In Squad-PRODUCT vocabulary, "squad" is a **peer** (an independent installation with its own `.squad/`, `team.md`, MCP server, and agents) — NOT a generic English synonym for "team" or "group". Do not fan out raw `task` agents inside your own coordinator context when the user means "another squad". Use the discovery and communication patterns below (and the companion `cross-squad-communication` skill for the actual protocols).

When an organization runs multiple Squad instances (e.g., platform-squad, frontend-squad, data-squad), those squads need to discover each other, share context, and hand off work across repository boundaries. This skill teaches agents how to coordinate across squads without creating tight coupling.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bradygaster/squad/cross-squad@sha256:8f62616ee39835c8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260613.b79e64a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
