Copilot Plugin · Generated Distribution

The Squad, installable as a GitHub Copilot plugin.

This repository is a generated, release-gated mirror of Peter-N91/hve-squad's Copilot CLI plugin distribution tree. Install it once and the hve-squad:squad-* agents become available in Copilot CLI, VS Code, and the Copilot desktop app — no apm install required.

What this repository ships

hve-squad-plugin is never hand-edited. Its content is regenerated only when hve-squad cuts a release, extracted from that release's immutable git tag — never from a live working tree or a moving branch. It packages three things:

🤖

27 agents

Every Squad Copilot agent under agents/squad/ — the coordinator, federation coordinator, and the full specialist cast (implementor, reviewer, researcher, challenger, scribe, and more).

🧠

The squad skill + 7 invocation skills

The core operating-procedure skill under skills/squad/, plus invocations/: squad-run, squad-doctor, squad-document, squad-federation, squad-governance-report, squad-init-hooks, and squad-learn.

🛡️

hooks.json enforcement

Best-effort, deterministic hook scripts (preToolUse, postToolUse, subagentStop, sessionStart, userPromptSubmitted) that back-stop the squad's impactful-action gate, single-writer state rule, and dispatch guards — see hooks/README.md for exactly what each one can and cannot enforce.

🔌

.mcp.json wiring

Registers the companion @hve-squad/mcp server over stdio, so a delegated-mode host can call the squad as tools (squad_research, squad_plan, squad_review, squad_architect, squad_run) in addition to direct agent dispatch.
