GitHubSkillGitHubSkillcoordinator-response-mode
github/squad/plugins/squad/skills/coordinator-response-mode/SKILL.md
Selecting WHO handles work is the Routing table; selecting HOW they handle it (Direct, Lightweight, Standard, Full) is Response Mode. This skill contains the complete decision table, exemplar prompts for each mode, the Lightweight spawn template, and the upgrade rules. Squad coordinator loads this on demand once routing has identified the agent — to pick the right ceremony level for the task.
GitHubSkillcoordinator-source-of-truth
github/squad/plugins/squad/skills/coordinator-source-of-truth/SKILL.md
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.
GitHubSkillcross-machine-coordination
github/squad/plugins/squad/skills/cross-machine-coordination/SKILL.md
Design proposal, not implemented: git-based task queuing between squad machines. For competing watchers, use squad watch work claims (ADR-002).

GitHubSkillcross-squad
github/squad/plugins/squad/skills/cross-squad/SKILL.md
Coordinating work across multiple Squad instances — discovery, delegation, and disambiguation when the user says 'squad' (the product) vs casual English 'group of agents'.

Agent instruction files
What are agent instruction files?
Plain text files in a repository that tell a coding agent how the project works: commands to run, conventions to follow and things to avoid. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, cursor rules and skills are the common kinds.
CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md?
CLAUDE.md is read by Claude Code. AGENTS.md is an open format that Codex, Cursor and other agents read. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
What is a skill?
A folder with a SKILL.md that describes one capability, such as filling PDFs or reviewing code. The agent loads it only when the task calls for it.
Can I search my own team's files too?
Your agents already can, over MCP, limited to the files you're allowed to read. Searching them from this page is coming.
