Squad & Shared Memory
How Squad Works
By TermSquad · Last reviewed
Squad helps a lead agent coordinate other installed agents on your TermSquad computer. Use it to divide suitable work, review an implementation, or compare two approaches.
How the roles fit together
| Role | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| Lead / orchestrator | Understand the request, assign work, inspect results, and report back. |
| Implementation | Carry out a bounded change. |
| Review | Examine the result and identify problems or missing validation. |
| Peer A and Peer B | Analyze a debate topic from equal positions. |
The roles can use the same provider or different installed providers. Available models depend on their accounts and current catalogs.
A typical workflow
- Connect the agents you want to use.
- Configure their roles in Settings → Squad.
- Give the lead agent a clear task and constraints.
- The lead delegates suitable work and keeps track of progress.
- A reviewer checks the result.
- The lead addresses findings and explains what was verified.
Agents share the computer’s resources. Shared project folders also mean simultaneous edits need coordination. More agents do not automatically make a task faster.
Do I have to use delegation?
No. Automatic delegation allows agents to use Squad when useful. You can turn it off or explicitly ask an agent to work alone for a task. You can also request Squad or a debate directly.
Shared memory stores selected knowledge; it is not a substitute for giving each worker a clear assignment.
Continue with automatic delegation, Squad role selection, or a two-agent debate.
