In plain words

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

squad-conventions scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

What it actually says

הקשר

המוסכמות האלה חלות על כל העבודה ב-Squad CLI (create-squad). Squad הוא כלי Node.js בלי תלויות חיצוניות שמוסיף צוותי סוכני AI לכל פרויקט.

דפוסים

אפס תלויות

ל-Squad אין תלויות זמן ריצה. הכל משתמש ב-Node.js מובנה (fs, path, os, child_process). אל תוסיפו חבילות ל-dependencies ב-package.json.

מבנה קבצים

  • .squad/ — מצב הצוות (בבעלות המשתמש, לא מוחלף בעדכון)
  • .squad/templates/ — תבניות (בבעלות Squad, מוחלפות בעדכון)
  • .github/agents/squad.agent.md — פרומפט רכז (בבעלות Squad)
  • .squad/skills/ — כישורי צוות בפורמט SKILL.md (בבעלות המשתמש)
  • .squad/decisions/inbox/ — תיבה להחלטות מקבילות

תאימות Windows

תמיד להשתמש ב-path.join() לנתיבי קבצים — לא לכתוב / או \ ישירות. Squad חייב לעבוד על Windows, macOS, ו-Linux.

Init — שמירה על קיים

ב-init: אם קובץ או תיקייה כבר קיימים — דלגו ודווחו "already exists". לעולם לא למחוק מצב של משתמש.

דוגמאות

// טיפול בשגיאות
function fatal(msg) {
  console.error(`${RED}✗${RESET} ${msg}`);
  process.exit(1);
}

// בניית נתיב (בטוח ל-Windows)
const agentDest = path.join(dest, '.github', 'agents', 'squad.agent.md');

// דפוס skip-if-exists
if (!fs.existsSync(ceremoniesDest)) {
  fs.copyFileSync(ceremoniesSrc, ceremoniesDest);
  console.log(`${GREEN}✓${RESET} .squad/ceremonies.md`);
} else {
  console.log(`${DIM}ceremonies.md already exists — skipping${RESET}`);
}

אנטי-דפוסים

  • הוספת תלויות npm — Squad הוא zero-dep
  • מפרידי נתיבים קשיחים — תמיד path.join()
  • מחיקת מצב משתמש ב-init — init מדלג על קיימים
  • stack traces גולמיים — הכל דרך fatal()
Changes

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.
