Overview

Squad installs a team of role-based agents (lead, frontend, backend, tester) as files under .squad/ in your repo, driven mainly through GitHub Copilot. Agents run in parallel and record decisions and per-agent history in markdown committed to git. A watch mode (Ralph) polls issues and dispatches agents, and the team can be projected into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Kiro and OpenCode.

Who it is for: Developers using GitHub Copilot who want a persistent agent team in-repo

Strengths

  • Team state, decisions and agent history live as markdown in git, so clones share them
  • Same team can be projected into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Kiro, OpenCode and Antigravity
  • Watch mode triages GitHub issues on an interval, with tiered error recovery and overnight pause
  • Installs via npm, Homebrew, WinGet or a standalone script that bundles Node.js

Weaknesses

  • Primary workflow depends on GitHub Copilot and the gh CLI
  • Recommended Copilot run uses --yolo, which skips per-tool approval prompts
  • SDK-first TypeScript config mode is experimental with known bugs
  • Interactive shell is deprecated; per-agent model choice does not work in VS Code

What it needs

  • no GPU
  • Docker
  • Needs GitHub Copilot, GitHub CLI (gh), Node.js 22.5+ (npm install), git
  • Models: GitHub Copilot models

Quick answers

Is squad open source?

Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.

Can you run squad with Docker?

Yes. Its repository has a Docker setup: a Dockerfile, a Compose file or a published image.
