The complete file-by-file source-of-truth hierarchy for Squad: which files are authoritative, which are derived/append-only, who may write each one, who may read each one, and the precedence rules when they conflict. Squad coordinator loads this on demand when it needs to resolve a write conflict, decide where a piece of state belongs, or answer a 'who owns this file' question.
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
> **Load this skill when:** the coordinator (or any agent) needs to resolve a "where does this state belong?" or "who is allowed to write this file?" question — e.g., when about to write `.squad/decisions.md`, when reviewing whether an agent broke the append-only rule, when answering a user question about Squad's file layout, or when adjudicating a conflict between two files. The short summary in `squad.agent.md` is for routing; this skill is the full reference. ## State backend note Files below marked as **"Derived / append-only"** are **mutable state** — agents access them with runtime state tools (`squad_state_read`, `squad_state_write`, `squad_state_append`, `squad_state_create_if_absent`, `squad_state_delete`, `squad_state_list`). The runtime decides whether the configured backend stores them on disk, git-native state, or an external provider. Files marked as **"Authoritative"** are **static config** and always live on disk regardless of backend. ## File hierarchy | File | Status | Who May Write | Who May Read | |------|--------|---------------|--------------| …

How to install
mdr add bradygaster/squad/coordinator-source-of-truth@sha256:d541d49910462739The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260830.73f7be0, 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.
