Squad Assemble - Permanent Installation

Permanently install and activate the claude-agents squad functionality with full infrastructure setup.

What Squad Assemble Does

1. Creates permanent state file for persistent activation
2. Installs session hook with robust error handling
3. Verifies infrastructure and creates missing components
4. Prompts for context clearing to ensure clean state
5. Validates installation and reports status

Implementation

Creating permanent squad infrastructure...

!mkdir -p ~/.claude/hooks !mkdir -p ~/.claude/backups

Setting squad functionality to PERMANENTLY ENABLED...

!echo "CLAUDE_SQUAD_ENABLED=1" > ~/.claude/.squad_enabled !echo "SQUAD_INSTALL_DATE=$(date)" >> ~/.claude/.squad_enabled !echo "SQUAD_INSTALL_MODE=permanent" >> ~/.claude/.squad_enabled

Creating robust session hook...

!cat > ~/.claude/hooks/sessionStart.sh << 'EOF' #!/bin/bash

SessionStart hook to load SQUAD.md orchestration rules

This hook runs at the beginning of each session and after /clear

Check if squad is enabled

if [ -f "$HOME/.claude/.squad_enabled" ]; then SQUAD_FILE="$HOME/.claude/SQUAD.md"

# Check if SQUAD.md exists
if [ -f "$SQUAD_FILE" ]; then
    echo "🤖 Loading squad orchestration rules from SQUAD.md..."
    cat "$SQUAD_FILE"
else
    echo "⚠️  Warning: SQUAD.md not found at $SQUAD_FILE"
    echo "Agent orchestration rules may not be properly configured."
fi

else echo "ℹ️ Squad functionality disabled. Use /squad-on to enable agent delegation." fi EOF

!chmod +x ~/.claude/hooks/sessionStart.sh

Infrastructure Verification

Verifying squad infrastructure...

!echo "🔍 Infrastructure Check:" !echo "✅ Session hook: $([ -x ~/.claude/hooks/sessionStart.sh ] && echo 'Installed' || echo 'Missing')" !echo "✅ State file: $([ -f ~/.claude/.squad_enabled ] && echo 'Created' || echo 'Missing')" !echo "✅ SQUAD.md: $([ -f ~/.claude/SQUAD.md ] && echo 'Available' || echo 'Missing')" !echo "✅ Hooks directory: $([ -d ~/.claude/hooks ] && echo 'Ready' || echo 'Missing')" !echo "✅ Backups directory: $([ -d ~/.claude/backups ] && echo 'Ready' || echo 'Missing')"

Context Clearing

⚠️ IMPORTANT: To ensure proper squad activation, your current context should be cleared.

Do you want to clear the context now?

Respond with 'yes' to clear context and activate squad functionality, or 'no' to keep current context.

If you choose 'yes', the context will be cleared and squad functionality will be active in your next interaction.

Squad Assembled Status

✅ Squad functionality is now PERMANENTLY ASSEMBLED

• Agent delegation rules permanently active
• SQUAD.md will load on every session start
• Specialist routing available
• Quality gates enforced
• Infrastructure verified and installed

Use /squad-dismiss to completely remove squad functionality if needed. Use /squad-standdown for temporary session-only disable.
