Features

Squadboard combines a durable work board, deterministic orchestration, and LLM-assisted ambiguity handling. The feature set is grouped by how users experience the product.

Core orchestration

Board cards, routing decisions, agent runs, and audit history.

Automation

Ceremonies, schedules, lifecycle close-out, and opt-in monitor decisions.

Integrations

GitHub, MCP, SDK, CLI, imports, and Squad Apps.

Operations

Project settings, portability, costs, health, and reliability surfaces.

Area	Start here

Operations	Reliability and real-time UI, Configuration, Security

What is included now

• Durable workflow runs with lease and heartbeat recovery.
• Server-owned coordinator routing with deterministic prefilters.
• Agent run context that mirrors the Copilot CLI + Squad driver experience.
• Board, run drawer, activity feed, and WebSocket event updates.
• Ceremonies, schedules, GitHub event triggers, and lifecycle automation.
• Scribe close-out through daemon/coordinator lifecycle paths.
• Ralph-style monitor decisions for opted-in projects.
• MCP and SDK entry points for Copilot CLI, VS Code, scripts, and services.
• A local-first multi-agent inner loop that can run before work is mirrored to GitHub.

Design principle

Squadboard should make deterministic decisions in code whenever the answer is concrete, and use LLM calls only for semantic ambiguity such as role fit, summarization, and interpreting human instructions.
