Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00012 | $0.01082 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00433 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00216 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00108 |
Grade A, and why
cross-squad 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.

Context
When an organization runs multiple Squad instances (e.g., platform-squad, frontend-squad, data-squad), those squads need to discover each other, share context, and hand off work across repository boundaries. This skill teaches agents how to coordinate across squads without creating tight coupling.
Cross-squad orchestration applies when:
- A task requires capabilities owned by another squad
- An architectural decision affects multiple squads
- A feature spans multiple repositories with different squads
- A squad needs to request infrastructure, tooling, or support from another squad
Patterns
Discovery via Manifest
Each squad publishes a .squad/manifest.json declaring its name, capabilities, and contact information. Squads discover each other through:
- Well-known paths: Check
.squad/manifest.jsonin known org repos - Upstream config: Squads already listed in
.squad/upstream.jsonare checked for manifests - Explicit registry: A central
squad-registry.jsoncan list all squads in an org
{
"name": "platform-squad",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "Platform infrastructure team",
"capabilities": ["kubernetes", "helm", "monitoring", "ci-cd"],
"contact": {
"repo": "org/platform",
"labels": ["squad:platform"]
},
"accepts": ["issues", "prs"],
"skills": ["helm-developer", "operator-developer", "pipeline-engineer"]
}
Context Sharing
When delegating work, share only what the target squad needs:
- Capability list: What this squad can do (from manifest)
- Relevant decisions: Only decisions that affect the target squad
- Handoff context: A concise description of why this work is being delegated
Do NOT share:
- Internal team state (casting history, session logs)
- Full decision archives (send only relevant excerpts)
- Authentication credentials or secrets
Work Handoff Protocol
- Check manifest: Verify the target squad accepts the work type (issues, PRs)
- Create issue: Use
gh issue createin the target repo with:- Title:
[cross-squad] <description> - Label:
squad:cross-squad(or the squad's configured label) - Body: Context, acceptance criteria, and link back to originating issue
- Title:
- Track: Record the cross-squad issue URL in the originating squad's orchestration log
- Poll: Periodically check if the delegated issue is closed/completed
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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 115 lines · 12 tokens per session scan A 8536742a495b
cross-squad is a skill published in the GitHub repository dotnet/maui-labs (229 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 1,082 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-08-30.

walk
Narrate a governed change as the six-stage walk — Decide · Design · Contract · Build · Prove · Sign-off — so the human always knows where the work is and whose turn it is. Use this at the kickoff of ANY change request (new feature, edit, bug fix, copy tweak, redesign), whenever the per-prompt inject carries a walk…

Optimizes a React Native app by profiling first to find real bottlenecks, then sweeping for mechanical issues. Entry-point for all performance work. Use when the app feels slow, user asks to optimize, fix re-renders, reduce jank, or improve startup. Delegates to argent-react-native-profiler for measurement.
