Conductor (devsquad)
The devsquad agent is the unified entry point for the framework. It does not contain domain logic. Instead, it detects user intent and delegates to the appropriate specialist agent.
How It Works
Section titled “How It Works”| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Intent Detection | Analyzes what the user wants and routes to the right phase agent |
| Cross-Phase Context | Maintains context as work moves between phases |
| Language Detection | Auto-detects user language, translates all output, keeps identifiers in English |
| Nested Delegation | Hands off to coordinator specialists that can invoke worker sub-agents when deeper decomposition is needed |
| Structured Actions | Relays sub-agent actions: [ASK], [CREATE], [EDIT], [BOARD], [CHECKPOINT], [DONE] |
Phase Routing
Section titled “Phase Routing”| User Intent | Delegated To |
|---|---|
| ”Set up my project” | devsquad.init |

| ”Structure the project” | devsquad.kickoff |
| ”Write a spec for feature X” | devsquad.specify |
| ”Plan the architecture” | devsquad.plan |
| ”Break this into tasks” | devsquad.decompose |
| ”Implement task X” | devsquad.implement |
| ”Review the implementation” | devsquad.review |
| ”Run a security assessment” | devsquad.security |
