Standard collaboration patterns for all squad agents — worktree awareness, decisions, cross-agent communication.
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
Every agent on the team follows identical collaboration patterns for worktree awareness, decision recording, and cross-agent communication. These were previously duplicated in every charter's Collaboration section (~300 bytes × 18 agents = ~5.4KB of redundant context). Now centralized here.
The coordinator's spawn prompt already instructs agents to read decisions.md and their history.md. This skill adds the patterns for WRITING decisions and requesting help.
## Patterns
### Worktree Awareness
Use the `TEAM ROOT` path provided in your spawn prompt. All `.squad/` paths are relative to this root. If TEAM ROOT is not provided (rare), run `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` as fallback. Never assume CWD is the repo root.
### Decision Recording
After making a decision that affects other team members, write it to:
`.squad/decisions/inbox/{your-name}-{brief-slug}.md`
Format:
```
### {date}: {decision title}
**By:** {Your Name}
**What:** {the decision}
**Why:** {rationale}
```
### Cross-Agent Communication
If you need another team member's input, say so in your response. The coordinator will bring them in. Don't try to do work outside your domain.

How to install
mdr add bradygaster/squad/agent-collaboration@sha256:e1943766f6aa5efeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260320.9081840, 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.
