Delegate a Task and Review the Result

A useful Squad assignment tells the worker what to change, where it may work, and how the result should be checked. The lead remains responsible for integrating the result and addressing review findings.

Prepare the assignment

Connect the required agents and configure Implementation and Review in Settings. Start from a known project state and identify any work already in progress.

You can ask your lead agent:

Use Squad to implement the agreed search change in this repository. Keep edits within the search component and its existing tests. After implementation, have the review agent check behavior and edge cases. Report the final diff and test results.

Avoid assigning overlapping edits to multiple workers without a clear coordination plan.

What should the lead check?

1. The worker started in the intended repository.
2. It understood the assignment and permissions.
3. The requested changes were made.
4. Relevant checks ran and their results were inspected.
5. A separate review examined the completed result.
6. Material findings were resolved or clearly reported.

A worker becoming ready, returning output, or reaching a wait timeout is not proof that the assignment is complete.

Use the CLI when needed

Inside an active Herdr project session, a configured role can be selected with:

squad delegate --name search-worker --role implementation --prompt "Implement the agreed search change and report validation."

This starts agent work. Use a unique name and a prompt that is complete for your real task.

See the Squad command reference and interrupted-work recovery.
