What is a Personal Squad?

A personal squad is a user-level collection of AI agents that travel with you across projects. Unlike project agents (defined in a project's .squad/ directory), personal agents live in your global config directory and are automatically discovered when you start a squad session.

Directory Structure

~/​.config/​squad/​personal-squad/    # Linux/​macOS
%APPDATA%/​squad/​personal-squad/    # Windows
├── agents/
│   ├── {agent-name}/
│   │   ├── charter.md
│   │   └── history.md
│   └── ...
└── config.json                    # Optional: personal squad config

How It Works

  1. Ambient Discovery: When Squad starts a session, it checks for a personal squad directory
  2. Merge: Personal agents are merged into the session cast alongside project agents
  3. Ghost Protocol: Personal agents can read project state but not write to it
  4. Kill Switch: Set SQUAD_NO_PERSONAL=1 to disable ambient discovery

Commands

  • squad personal init — Bootstrap a personal squad directory
  • squad personal list — List your personal agents
  • squad personal add {name} --role {role} — Add a personal agent
  • squad personal remove {name} — Remove a personal agent
  • squad cast — Show the current session cast (project + personal)

Ghost Protocol

See templates/​ghost-protocol.md for the full rules. Key points:

  • Personal agents advise; project agents execute
  • No writes to project .squad/ state
  • Transparent origin tagging in logs
  • Project agents take precedence on conflicts

Configuration

Optional config.json in the personal squad directory:

{
  "defaultModel": "auto",
  "ghostProtocol": true,
  "agents": {}
}

Environment Variables

  • SQUAD_NO_PERSONAL — Set to any value to disable personal squad discovery
  • SQUAD_PERSONAL_DIR — Override the default personal squad directory path
