What it does

Team Memory Maintenance is an agent skill from bradygaster/squad. Merge accepted Squad decisions through the active state backend with exact verification

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Squad: AI agent teams for any project. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/team-memory-maintenance”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve the supplied team root and configured state backend.
  2. List and read every candidate inbox entry before acting.
  3. Merge only decisions that have explicit acceptance evidence.
  4. Deduplicate exact decision headings without rewriting unrelated decisions.
  5. Normalize nested headings while preserving relative hierarchy and fenced code blocks.
  6. Re-read .squad/decisions.md and verify the merged content before deleting an inbox entry.
  7. Refetch after deletion and verify the exact inbox entry is absent.
  8. Stop on any mismatch and report the incomplete operation.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1fd7e03. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Team Memory Maintenance loads about 505 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 228 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~505

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Team Memory Maintenance

Use this skill only for accepted durable decisions. The current Scribe role does not maintain session logs, orchestration logs, specialist histories, onboarding records, or general team memory.

Scope

  • Allowed targets: .squad/decisions/inbox/ and .squad/decisions.md.
  • Use the active state backend for mutable Squad state.
  • Preserve decision authorship, rationale, and accepted scope.
  • Use archival-integrity procedures whenever accepted records are moved or compacted.

Procedure

  1. Resolve the supplied team root and configured state backend.
  2. List and read every candidate inbox entry before acting.
  3. Merge only decisions that have explicit acceptance evidence.
  4. Deduplicate exact decision headings without rewriting unrelated decisions.
  5. Normalize nested headings while preserving relative hierarchy and fenced code blocks.
  6. Re-read .squad/decisions.md and verify the merged content before deleting an inbox entry.
  7. Refetch after deletion and verify the exact inbox entry is absent.
  8. Stop on any mismatch and report the incomplete operation.

Stop Conditions

  • Stop if the team root, active backend, acceptance evidence, or required read-back capability is unavailable.
  • Stop if merged content or deletion cannot be verified exactly.
  • Do not manufacture a durable record for a tentative request, onboarding observation, or unaccepted recommendation.

Anti-Patterns

  • Writing session logs or specialist histories.
  • Bypassing the state backend with branch switching, note-ref pushes, resets, or manual persistence.
  • Deleting inbox content before verifying the canonical merge.
  • Expanding a decision-only maintenance request into product or repository cleanup.
