End-to-end validation of coordinator and agent template changes.

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

Squad's coordinator prompt (`squad.agent.md`) and agent charters (e.g.
`scribe-charter.md`) are shipped as templates in `.squad-templates/`. Changes to
these files affect how every squad session behaves — but unit tests can't catch
prompt-level regressions because the prompts are interpreted by an LLM at
runtime.

This skill describes how to validate template changes end-to-end by running real
squad sessions against a locally-built CLI that includes your modified templates.

## When To Use

- You changed `.squad-templates/squad.agent.md` (coordinator prompt)
- You changed `.squad-templates/scribe-charter.md` or other agent charters
- You changed `.squad-templates/notes-protocol.md` or helper scripts
- You added new conditional blocks (e.g. state-backend-aware spawn templates)
- You modified the init scaffolding that writes templates to target repos

## Prerequisites

- **Node.js** ≥20, **npm** ≥10
- **Git** CLI
- **GitHub Copilot CLI** (`copilot` or `ghcs`) installed
- A local clone of the squad repo on your feature branch

## Workflow

### Step 0 — Post initial tracking comment (**FIRST action — before anything else**)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bradygaster/squad/e2e-template-testing@sha256:cbd834fdc8739177

The 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.
