Enable Claude Squad plugin agent delegation and orchestration system		Bash(*)

Squad On - Enable Agent Delegation

Enable the Claude Squad plugin functionality to activate intelligent delegation and agent specialization.

What Squad On Does

1. Enables squad system through configuration flags
2. Clears temporary disable states from previous sessions
3. Activates plugin hooks for automatic rule loading
4. Reports activation status and available agents

Plugin Activation

Setting Claude Squad plugin to ENABLED...

!# Clear any temporary disable states !rm -f ~/.claude/.squad_session_disabled !rm -f ./.squad_session_disabled !rm -f ~/.claude/.squad_furlough !rm -f ./.squad_furlough

!# Enable squad globally or locally based on existing configuration !if -f ./.squad_enabled ; then echo "📁 Enabling Claude Squad for current project" echo "CLAUDE_SQUAD_ENABLED=1" > ./.squad_enabled else echo "🌐 Enabling Claude Squad globally" mkdir -p ~/.claude echo "CLAUDE_SQUAD_ENABLED=1" > ~/.claude/.squad_enabled fi

Plugin status check:

!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

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 Enabled Status

✅ Squad functionality is now ENABLED

• Agent delegation rules active
• SQUAD.md will load on session start
• Specialist routing available
• Quality gates enforced

Use /squad-off to disable squad functionality if needed.
