bradygaster/squad is a tool that creates a human-directed team of AI development agents inside a project repository through GitHub Copilot. Developers use it to delegate work among persistent specialists such as frontend, backend, testing, and lead agents while retaining responsibility for decisions and review. The catalogue entries are the skills, agents, and instructions that define and coordinate those team members.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00017 | $0.00319 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00128 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00064 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
documentation-maintenance scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Context
Use this skill when adding, removing, or materially changing user-facing documentation. Squad documentation should describe the product and its supported configuration, not surrounding infrastructure presented as product behavior.
Patterns
- Follow the Microsoft Style Guide: sentence-case headings, active voice, second person, and present tense unless established project voice requires an exception.
- Keep one canonical page per concept. Link to it rather than duplicating content, using the most specific stable anchor available.
- Choose paragraphs for explanation, parallel lists for scannable choices or steps, and tables for comparisons or reference data.
- When a page is added or removed, update the relevant expected-inventory arrays in
test/docs-build.test.tsin the same change. - Review behavior changes for documentation impact. Update affected docs or explicitly record why no user-facing documentation changes.
Examples
.github/PR_REQUIREMENTS.md requires a docs-build test update for a new feature page.
test/docs-build.test.ts verifies the expected guide, feature, scenario, concept, and reference
inventories against the filesystem.
Anti-Patterns
- Presenting external deployment wrappers, bots, or unrelated infrastructure as Squad features
- Adding a page without checking the inventory assertions
- Duplicating a concept across several pages instead of linking to the canonical explanation
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

documentation-maintenance is a skill published in the GitHub repository bradygaster/squad (3,295 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 319 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-12.
Other skills, from other repositories
ponytail-gain
Show ponytail's measured impact as a compact scoreboard: less code, less cost, more speed, from the benchmark medians. One-shot display, not a persistent mode, and not a per-repo number. Trigger: /ponytail-gain, "ponytail gain", "what does ponytail save", "show ponytail impact", "ponytail scoreboard".
clean-architecture-dotnet
Use when domain logic leaks into API/Infrastructure, project references violate layer boundaries, or you need to decide between CQS (always), CQRS bus (complex domains), and DDD patterns (invariants and events).
Video Downloader (yt-dlp)
Download videos from YouTube, TikTok, and 50+ platforms.
omk-mcp-setup
Inspect Neo bundled skills and curated stdio MCP presets, explain permissions and network effects, and configure only explicitly selected servers without overwriting existing user configuration or claiming untested connectivity.
outside-in-tdd
Use when writing tests from the outside-in, defining behavior before code, or any feature where tests should start from observable business behavior and let internal design emerge.
searching-text
Use when searching for text patterns across files, finding specific code locations, or getting lines with surrounding context in a single call.
