Protocol for sending queries, delegating tasks, and sharing context between independent Squad instances across different repositories.
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 When multiple repositories each have their own Squad (AI team), they need to exchange information: knowledge queries, PR reviews, task delegation, and dependency analysis. Each squad has its own agents, MCP tools, and issue tracker — there is no shared runtime. > **Companion skill — read first:** `cross-squad/SKILL.md` covers **discovery** of peer squads via `squad registry add/list/remove`. This skill picks up after a peer is known and covers the **communication protocols** themselves — the four numbered patterns below: Pattern 0 (synchronous CLI), Pattern 1 (read-only knowledge query), Pattern 2 (git-based async), and Pattern 3 (GitHub-issue-based delegation). A separate non-numbered appendix (Cross-Repo Dependency Scan) is provided as a related analysis tool, not a communication pattern. The two skills are designed to be used together. **When this skill applies:** - A squad agent needs information from another squad-enabled repo - A task needs to be delegated to another squad - Cross-repo dependency analysis is needed - PR review requests span repo boundaries …

How to install
mdr add bradygaster/squad/cross-squad-communication@sha256:c8d7744cd194cf07The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.9cf5842, 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.
