# Squad: The Programmable Multi-Agent Runtime for GitHub Copilot

What if your AI coding assistant had a team? Squad is an open-source framework that orchestrates GitHub Copilot agents as persistent specialists — each with memory, expertise, and decision-making authority. Instead of one agent answering every question, you get a DevRel who writes docs, a QA lead who blocks PRs, and a security engineer who guards secrets. They remember what they've done, learn from your project, and work in parallel when the job calls for it.

Squad isn't RAG over a knowledge base — it's a runtime. Agents have charters, history files, and ceremonies (triage, standup, retro). Work routes based on capability profiles. When multiple agents can help, they fan out in parallel. It's battle-tested on its own development (we use Squad to build Squad), and it works with GitHub, Azure DevOps, or standalone.

Expect a live demo of casting, routing, and multi-agent fan-out — because showing beats telling.
