Executed full reskill process to reduce per-agent context overhead: **Step 1: Audit** - Audited 20 agent charters (51,163 bytes total) - Audited 12 agent histories (41,915 bytes total) - Identified boilerplate in Collaboration, Boundaries, Voice sections - Identified shared patterns across test discipline, docs standards, Windows compatibility **Step 2: Extract** Created 3 new skills from shared patterns: - test-discipline: Update tests when changing APIs (FIDO/EECOM/PAO patterns) - windows-compatibility: Cross-platform path handling (EECOM/Scribe patterns) - docs-standards: Microsoft Style Guide + Squad conventions (PAO patterns) **Step 3: Trim** Charters trimmed to minimal template (≤1.5KB target): - Removed Collaboration section (now in agent-collaboration skill) - Removed Voice section (tagline blockquote sufficient) - Removed verbose Boundaries boilerplate - Trimmed Model rationale to single line - Removed domain knowledge now in skills Histories trimmed (≤8KB target): - Removed session metadata (dates, branch names, requester names) - Consolidated learnings into Core Context + Patterns sections - Promoted recurring patterns to skills **Savings:** - Charters: 51,163 → 24,503 bytes (26,660 saved, 52.1%) - Histories: 41,915 → 10,560 bytes (31,355 saved, 74.8%) - Total: 93,078 → 35,063 bytes (58,015 saved, 62.3%) Skills extracted: 3 new, 16 existing → 19 total shared knowledge base Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Base roles from PR #369 are now opt-in instead of opt-out. squad init defaults to fictional universe casting (the beloved feature). Use squad init --roles to explicitly choose base roles instead. Changes: - buildInitModePrompt now has two modes: default (universe casting) and base roles (opt-in via useBaseRoles flag) - Added --roles flag to squad init CLI and /init REPL command - .init-roles marker file persists the flag for REPL auto-cast flow - Marker is cleaned up after casting completes - Added init-base-roles.test.ts with 5 tests covering opt-in behavior - Updated help text and UX gates Closes #379 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
