Squad (open source, built on GitHub Copilot) drops a specialized AI agent team into any repo with 'npm install -g @bradygaster/squad-cli' and 'squad init'. Agents already know your naming conventions via shared project history files committed to the repo. Uses a 'drop-box' pattern where every architectural choice is appended as a structured block to a versioned decisions.md file, creating persistent shared context. The coordinator launches every applicable agent simultaneously for parallel execution.
