Adds comprehensive extensibility guide at docs/guide/extensibility.md to help Squad users determine WHERE their change idea belongs (Core, Extension, or Team Config). Key sections: - Three-layer extensibility model - Decision tree flowchart (text-based) - Examples for each layer - The Claire test (RFC bradygaster#328 as worked example) - When to escalate to core - How to build a plugin Addresses common confusion about what belongs in Squad core vs plugins vs team configuration. Updates test assertions in docs-build.test.ts for new guide page. Related: bradygaster#328 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Captures the architectural decision behind the extensibility guide: Squad core stays small, most ideas are composition (skills/ceremonies/directives). Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Flight's review flagged 559 lines as too verbose. Compressed to 100 lines: - Kept: three-layer decision tree, Claire's RFC example, escalation signals - Cut: verbose explanations, extended examples, repetitive how-to sections Target Brady's preference: small, strategic docs.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Fix bradygaster#419/bradygaster#424: Restructure /help for scannability Show 3-5 most essential commands by default, with clear pointer to /help full for complete reference. Default /help now fits in ~5 lines: - Commands: /status, /history, /agents, /quit - Type /help full for complete docs /help full shows the complete list with descriptions, matching previous behavior. Closes bradygaster#419, bradygaster#424 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Fix bradygaster#421: Lead with default behavior in --help The CLI help now leads with 'Just type — squad routes your message to the right agent automatically' before listing commands. This makes it clear that the primary way to use squad is to run it with no args and talk naturally.
