Categorized catalog of common Squad operations. Coordinator reads this file and presents it as an interactive menu when the user asks for available commands or help.
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
## Menu Presentation Rules
When the user triggers this skill ("squad commands", "help", "what can squad do", etc.):
1. **Category-level menu first.** Present category names as an `ask_user` choice list:
```
📋 Squad Commands — pick a category:
1. Install & Upgrade
2. Team Management
3. Issues & PRs
4. Plugins & Skills
5. Model & Cost
6. Sessions & State
```
2. **Drill-down.** After selection, show operation titles in that category as a second `ask_user` list.
3. **Direct match skips the menu.** If the user says "how do I upgrade with state backend," match to the specific entry and go straight to argument collection.
4. **Compact fallback.** If `ask_user` is unavailable, render as a markdown table instead.
5. **Back / Cancel.** Include "← Back to categories" in sub-menus. Include "Cancel" in confirmation prompts. Respect "never mind" / "cancel" at any point.
**Argument collection:** For entries with `args`, iterate the list sequentially. Use `ask_user` with choices when `choices` is provided; free-text prompt otherwise. If the user says "just do it" or "defaults are fine," skip remaining args and use their defaults.
**Confirmation template:**

How to install
mdr add microsoft/waza/squad-commands@sha256:4e7ea9b948baa3c3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260615.284ec6d, 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.
