+ domain: "documentation"
5

6
+ source: "earned (PAO charter, multiple doc PR reviews)"
7

8
+
9
+ ## Context
10
+
11
+ Squad documentation follows the Microsoft Style Guide with Squad-specific conventions. Consistency across docs builds trust and improves discoverability.
12
+
13
+ ## Patterns
14
+
15
+ ### Microsoft Style Guide Rules
16
+ - **Sentence-case headings:** "Getting started" not "Getting Started"
17
+ - **Active voice:** "Run the command" not "The command should be run"
18
+ - **Second person:** "You can configure..." not "Users can configure..."
19
+ - **Present tense:** "The system routes..." not "The system will route..."
20
+ - **No ampersands in prose:** "and" not "&" (except in code, brand names, or UI elements)
21
+
22
+ ### Squad Formatting Patterns
23
+ - **Scannability first:** Paragraphs for narrative (3-4 sentences max), bullets for scannable lists, tables for structured data
24
+ - **"Try this" prompts at top:** Start feature/scenario pages with practical prompts users can copy
25
+ - **Experimental warnings:** Features in preview get callout at top
26
+ - **Cross-references at bottom:** Related pages linked after main content
27
+
28
+ ### Structure
29
+ - **Title (H1)** → **Warning/callout** → **Try this code** → **Overview** → **HR** → **Content (H2 sections)**
30
+
31
+ ### Test Sync Rule
32
+ - **Always update test assertions:** When adding docs pages to `features/`, `scenarios/`, `guides/`, update corresponding `EXPECTED_*` arrays in `test/docs-build.test.ts` in the same commit
33
+
34
+ ## Examples
35
+
36
+ ✓ **Correct:**
37
+ ```markdown
38
+ # Getting started with Squad
39
+
40
+ > ⚠️ **Experimental:** This feature is in preview.
41
+
42
+ Try this:
43
+ \`\`\`bash
44
+ squad init
45
+ \`\`\`
46
+
47
+ Squad helps you build AI teams...
48
+
49
+ ---
50
+
51
+ ## Install Squad
52
+
53
+ Run the following command...
54
+ ```
55
+
56
+ ✗ **Incorrect:**
57
+ ```markdown
58
+ # Getting Started With Squad // Title case
59
+
60
+ Squad is a tool which will help users... // Third person, future tense
61
+
62
+ You can install Squad with npm & configure it... // Ampersand in prose
63
+ ```
64
+
65
+ ## Anti-Patterns
66
+
67
+ - Title-casing headings because "it looks nicer"
68
+ - Writing in passive voice or third person
69
+ - Long paragraphs of dense text (breaks scannability)
70
+ - Adding doc pages without updating test assertions
71
+ - Using ampersands outside code blocks

+ description: "Shifts Layer 3 model selection to cost-optimized alternatives when economy mode is active."
4
+ domain: "model-selection"
5
+ confidence: "low"
6
+ source: "manual"
7
+ ---
8
+
9
+ ## SCOPE
10
+
11
+ ✅ THIS SKILL PRODUCES:
12
+ - A modified Layer 3 model selection table applied when economy mode is active
13
+ - `economyMode: true` written to `.squad/config.json` when activated persistently
14
+ - Spawn acknowledgments with `💰` indicator when economy mode is active
15
+
16
+ ❌ THIS SKILL DOES NOT PRODUCE:
17
+ - Code, tests, or documentation
18
+ - Cost reports or billing artifacts
19
+ - Changes to Layer 0, Layer 1, or Layer 2 resolution (user intent always wins)
20
+
21
+ ## Context
22
+
23
+ Economy mode shifts Layer 3 (Task-Aware Auto-Selection) to lower-cost alternatives. It does NOT override persistent config (`defaultModel`, `agentModelOverrides`) or per-agent charter preferences — those represent explicit user intent and always take priority.
24
+
25
+ Use this skill when the user wants to reduce costs across an entire session or permanently, without manually specifying models for each agent.
26
+
27
+ ## Activation Methods
28
+
29
+ | Method | How |
30
+ |--------|-----|
31
+ | Session phrase | "use economy mode", "save costs", "go cheap", "reduce costs" |
32
+ | Persistent config | `"economyMode": true` in `.squad/config.json` |
33
+ | CLI flag | `squad --economy` |
34
+
35
+ **Deactivation:** "turn off economy mode", "disable economy mode", or remove `economyMode` from `config.json`.
36
+
37
+ ## Economy Model Selection Table
38
+
39
+ When economy mode is **active**, Layer 3 auto-selection uses this table instead of the normal defaults:
40
+
41
+ | Task Output | Normal Mode | Economy Mode |
42
+ |-------------|-------------|--------------|
43
+ | Writing code (implementation, refactoring, bug fixes) | `claude-sonnet-4.5` | `gpt-4.1` or `gpt-5-mini` |
44
+ | Writing prompts or agent designs | `claude-sonnet-4.5` | `gpt-4.1` or `gpt-5-mini` |
45
+ | Docs, planning, triage, changelogs, mechanical ops | `claude-haiku-4.5` | `gpt-4.1` or `gpt-5-mini` |
46
+ | Architecture, code review, security audits | `claude-opus-4.5` | `claude-sonnet-4.5` |
47
+ | Scribe / logger / mechanical file ops | `claude-haiku-4.5` | `gpt-4.1` |
48
+
49
+ **Prefer `gpt-4.1` over `gpt-5-mini`** when the task involves structured output or agentic tool use. Prefer `gpt-5-mini` for pure text generation tasks where latency matters.
50
+
51
+ ## AGENT WORKFLOW
52
+
53
+ ### On Session Start
54
+
55
+ 1. READ `.squad/config.json`
56
+ 2. CHECK for `economyMode: true` — if present, activate economy mode for the session
57
+ 3. STORE economy mode state in session context
58
+
59
+ ### On User Phrase Trigger
60
+
61
+ **Session-only (no config change):** "use economy mode", "save costs", "go cheap"
62
+
63
+ 1. SET economy mode active for this session
64
+ 2. ACKNOWLEDGE: `✅ Economy mode active — using cost-optimized models this session. (Layer 0 and Layer 2 preferences still apply)`
65
+
66
+ **Persistent:** "always use economy mode", "save economy mode"
67
+
68
+ 1. WRITE `economyMode: true` to `.squad/config.json` (merge, don't overwrite other fields)
69
+ 2. ACKNOWLEDGE: `✅ Economy mode saved — cost-optimized models will be used until disabled.`
70
+
71
+ ### On Every Agent Spawn (Economy Mode Active)
72
+
73
+ 1. CHECK Layer 0a/0b first (agentModelOverrides, defaultModel) — if set, use that. Economy mode does NOT override Layer 0.
74
+ 2. CHECK Layer 1 (session directive for a specific model) — if set, use that. Economy mode does NOT override explicit session directives.
75
+ 3. CHECK Layer 2 (charter preference) — if set, use that. Economy mode does NOT override charter preferences.
76
+ 4. APPLY economy table at Layer 3 instead of normal table.
77
+ 5. INCLUDE `💰` in spawn acknowledgment: `🔧 {Name} ({model} · 💰 economy) — {task}`
78
+
79
+ ### On Deactivation
80
+
81
+ **Trigger phrases:** "turn off economy mode", "disable economy mode", "use normal models"
82
+
83
+ 1. REMOVE `economyMode` from `.squad/config.json` (if it was persisted)
84
+ 2. CLEAR session economy mode state
85
+ 3. ACKNOWLEDGE: `✅ Economy mode disabled — returning to standard model selection.`
86
+
87
+ ### STOP
88
+
89
+ After updating economy mode state and including the `💰` indicator in spawn acknowledgments, this skill is done. Do NOT:
90
+ - Change Layer 0, Layer 1, or Layer 2 model choices
91
+ - Override charter-specified models
92
+ - Generate cost reports or comparisons
93
+ - Fall back to premium models via economy mode (economy mode never bumps UP)
94
+
95
+ ## Config Schema
96
+
97
+ `.squad/config.json` economy-related fields:
98
+
99
+ ```json
100
+ {
101
+ "version": 1,
102
+ "economyMode": true
103
+ }
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ - `economyMode` — when `true`, Layer 3 uses the economy table. Optional; absent = economy mode off.
107
+ - Combines with `defaultModel` and `agentModelOverrides` — Layer 0 always wins.
108
+
109
+ ## Anti-Patterns
110
+
111
+ - **Don't override Layer 0 in economy mode.** If the user set `defaultModel: "claude-opus-4.6"`, they want quality. Economy mode only affects Layer 3 auto-selection.
112
+ - **Don't silently apply economy mode.** Always acknowledge when activated or deactivated.
113
+ - **Don't treat economy mode as permanent by default.** Session phrases activate session-only; only "always" or `config.json` persist it.
114
+ - **Don't bump premium tasks down too far.** Architecture and security reviews shift from opus to sonnet in economy mode — they do NOT go to fast/cheap models.

20
+ ---
21
+
22
+ ## Context
23
+
24
+ Phase 1 is **draft-only mode**.
25
+
26
+ - PAO scans issues and discussions, drafts responses with the humanizer skill, and presents a review table for human approval.
27
+ - **Human review gate is mandatory** — PAO never posts autonomously.
28
+ - Every action is logged to `.squad/comms/audit/`.
29
+ - This workflow is triggered manually only ("PAO, check community") — no automated or Ralph-triggered activation in Phase 1.
30
+
31
+ ## Patterns
32
+
33
+ ### 1. Scan
34
+
35
+ Find unanswered community items with GitHub MCP tools first, or `gh issue list` / `gh api` as fallback for issues and discussions.
36
+
37
+ - Include **open** issues and discussions only.
38
+ - Filter for items with **no squad team response**.
39
+ - Limit to items created in the last 7 days.
40
+ - Exclude items labeled `squad:internal` or `wontfix`.
41
+ - Include discussions **and** issues in the same sweep.
42
+ - Phase 1 scope is **issues and discussions only** — do not draft PR replies.
43
+
44
+ ### Discussion Handling (Phase 1)
45
+
46
+ Discussions use the GitHub Discussions API, which differs from issues:
47
+
48
+ - **Scan:** `gh api /repos/{owner}/{repo}/discussions --jq '.[] | select(.answer_chosen_at == null)'` to find unanswered discussions
49
+ - **Categories:** Filter by Q&A and General categories only (skip Announcements, Show and Tell)
50
+ - **Answers vs comments:** In Q&A discussions, PAO drafts an "answer" (not a comment). The human marks it as accepted answer after posting.
51
+ - **Phase 1 scope:** Issues and Discussions ONLY. No PR comments.
52
+
53
+ ### 2. Classify
54
+
55
+ Determine the response type before drafting.
56
+
57
+ - Welcome (new contributor)
58
+ - Troubleshooting (bug/help)
59
+ - Feature guidance (feature request/how-to)
60
+ - Redirect (wrong repo/scope)
61
+ - Acknowledgment (confirmed, no fix)
62
+ - Closing (resolved)
63
+ - Technical uncertainty (unknown cause)
64
+ - Empathetic disagreement (pushback on a decision or design)
65
+ - Information request (need more reproduction details or context)
66
+
67
+ ### Template Selection Guide
68
+
69
+ | Signal in Issue/Discussion | → Response Type | Template |
70
+ |---------------------------|-----------------|----------|
71
+ | New contributor (0 prior issues) | Welcome | T1 |
72
+ | Error message, stack trace, "doesn't work" | Troubleshooting | T2 |
73
+ | "How do I...?", "Can Squad...?", "Is there a way to...?" | Feature Guidance | T3 |
74
+ | Wrong repo, out of scope for Squad | Redirect | T4 |
75
+ | Confirmed bug, no fix available yet | Acknowledgment | T5 |
76
+ | Fix shipped, PR merged that resolves issue | Closing | T6 |
77
+ | Unclear cause, needs investigation | Technical Uncertainty | T7 |
78
+ | Author disagrees with a decision or design | Empathetic Disagreement | T8 |
79
+ | Need more reproduction info or context | Information Request | T9 |
80
+
81
+ Use exactly one template as the base draft. Replace placeholders with issue-specific details, then apply the humanizer patterns. If the thread spans multiple signals, choose the highest-risk template and capture the nuance in the thread summary.
82
+
83
+ ### Confidence Classification
84
+
85
+ | Confidence | Criteria | Example |
86
+ |-----------|----------|---------|
87
+ | 🟢 High | Answer exists in Squad docs or FAQ, similar question answered before, no technical ambiguity | "How do I install Squad?" |
88
+ | 🟡 Medium | Technical answer is sound but involves judgment calls, OR docs exist but don't perfectly match the question, OR tone is tricky | "Can Squad work with Azure DevOps?" (yes, but setup is nuanced) |
89
+ | 🔴 Needs Review | Technical uncertainty, policy/roadmap question, potential reputational risk, author is frustrated/angry, question about unreleased features | "When will Squad support Claude?" |
90
+
91
+ **Auto-escalation rules:**
92
+ - Any mention of competitors → 🔴
93
+ - Any mention of pricing/licensing → 🔴
94
+ - Author has >3 follow-up comments without resolution → 🔴
95
+ - Question references a closed-wontfix issue → 🔴
96
+
97
+ ### 3. Draft
98
+
99
+ Use the humanizer skill for every draft.
100
+
101
+ - Complete **Thread-Read Verification** before writing.
102
+ - Read the **full thread**, including all comments, before writing.
103
+ - Select the matching template from the **Template Selection Guide** and record the template ID in the review notes.
104
+ - Treat templates as reusable drafting assets: keep the structure, replace placeholders, and only improvise when the thread truly requires it.
105
+ - Validate the draft against the humanizer anti-patterns.
106
+ - Flag long threads (`>10` comments) with `⚠️`.
107
+
108
+ ### Thread-Read Verification
109
+
110
+ Before drafting, PAO MUST verify complete thread coverage:
111
+
112
+ 1. **Count verification:** Compare API comment count with actually-read comments. If mismatch, abort draft.
113
+ 2. **Deleted comment check:** Use `gh api` timeline to detect deleted comments. If found, flag as ⚠️ in review table.
114
+ 3. **Thread summary:** Include in every draft: "Thread: {N} comments, last activity {date}, {summary of key points}"
115
+ 4. **Long thread flag:** If >10 comments, add ⚠️ to review table and include condensed thread summary
116
+ 5. **Evidence line in review table:** Each draft row includes "Read: {N}/{total} comments" column
117
+
118
+ ### 4. Present
119
+
120
+ Show drafts for review in this exact format:

135
+ Each full draft must begin with the thread summary line:
136
+ `Thread: {N} comments, last activity {date}, {summary of key points}`
137
+
138
+ ### 5. Human Action
139
+
140
+ Wait for explicit human direction before anything is posted.
141
+
142
+ - `pao approve 1 3` — approve drafts 1 and 3
143
+ - `pao edit 2` — edit draft 2
144
+ - `pao skip` — skip all
145
+ - `banana` — freeze all pending (safe word)
146
+
147
+ ### Rollback — Bad Post Recovery
148
+
149
+ If a posted response turns out to be wrong, inappropriate, or needs correction:
150
+
151
+ 1. **Delete the comment:**
152
+ - Issues: `gh api -X DELETE /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/comments/{comment_id}`
153
+ - Discussions: `gh api graphql -f query='mutation { deleteDiscussionComment(input: {id: "{node_id}"}) { comment { id } } }'`
154
+ 2. **Log the deletion:** Write audit entry with action `delete`, include reason and original content
155
+ 3. **Draft replacement** (if needed): PAO drafts a corrected response, goes through normal review cycle
156
+ 4. **Postmortem:** If the error reveals a pattern gap, update humanizer anti-patterns or add a new test case
157
+
158
+ **Safe word — `banana`:**
159
+ - Immediately freezes all pending drafts in the review queue
160
+ - No new scans or drafts until `pao resume` is issued
161
+ - Audit entry logged with halter identity and reason
162
+
163
+ ### 6. Post
164
+
165
+ After approval:
166
+
167
+ - Human posts via `gh issue comment` for issues or `gh api` for discussion answers/comments.
168
+ - PAO helps by preparing the CLI command.
169
+ - Write the audit entry after the posting action.
170
+
171
+ ### 7. Audit
172
+
173
+ Log every action.
174
+
175
+ - Location: `.squad/comms/audit/{timestamp}.md`
176
+ - Required fields vary by action — see `.squad/comms/templates/audit-entry.md` Conditional Fields table
177
+ - Universal required fields: `timestamp`, `action`
178
+ - All other fields are conditional on the action type
179
+
180
+ ## Examples
181
+
182
+ These are reusable templates. Keep the structure, replace placeholders, and adjust only where the thread requires it.
183
+
184
+ ### Example scan command
185
+
186
+ ```bash
187
+ gh issue list --state open --json number,title,author,labels,comments --limit 20

318
+ ## Anti-Patterns
319
+
320
+ - ❌ Posting without human review (NEVER — this is the cardinal rule)
321
+ - ❌ Drafting without reading full thread (context is everything)
322
+ - ❌ Ignoring confidence flags (🔴 items need Flight/human review)
323
+ - ❌ Scanning closed issues (only open items)
324
+ - ❌ Responding to issues labeled `squad:internal` or `wontfix`
325
+ - ❌ Skipping audit logging (every action must be recorded)
326
+ - ❌ Drafting for issues where a squad member already responded (avoid duplicates)
327
+ - ❌ Drafting pull request responses in Phase 1 (issues/discussions only)
328
+ - ❌ Treating templates like loose examples instead of reusable drafting assets
329
+ - ❌ Asking for more info without specific requests
