Squad Work Loop
⚠️ Set
configured: truein the frontmatter above to activate this loop. Run with:squad loop
What to do each cycle
Describe what your squad should do every time the loop wakes up. Be specific — the more context you give, the better your squad performs.
Examples: - Check for new messages in a Teams channel and summarize action items - Review recent pull requests and flag anything needing attention - Run a health check on staging and report anomalies - Scan the inbox for anything that needs a response today
Monitoring (optional)
If you want your squad to watch external channels, enable monitor capabilities:
squad loop --monitor-email --monitor-teams
Personality (optional)
If your squad has a specific voice or style, describe it here so each cycle stays consistent.
Example: "Be concise. Use bullet points. Flag blockers clearly."
Tips
- Be specific. Vague prompts produce vague results.
- Set boundaries. Tell the squad what NOT to do (e.g., "Don't send messages to anyone but me").
- Start small. Begin with one task per cycle, then expand.
- Use frontmatter.
