An engineering squad of six
Ada breaks goals into work and hands it out. Linus and Margaret build the backend, Grace the interface, Tess finds the regressions and Dennis keeps CI and environments reliable. They work in your GitHub, and the merge stays with you.

Day one
Work you hand over.
Give it as a task in chat, on a schedule or from a webhook. The lead splits it across the team and the result comes back to you.
- Triage this morning's new issues: label them, spot the duplicates and flag anything security-related.
- Investigate the failing CI run on main and open a pull request with the likely fix.
- Write reproduction steps for the three bugs reported this week.

Where it waits
You decide.
In these systems, 21 actions change something, and each one waits for a person by default. 4 of them always wait, whatever the settings say.
Wants to open an issue.
Open an issue in GitHub waits for a person by default. You can let it run alone once it has earned that.

Questions
Questions about Engineering squad.
Can the engineering squad merge to main?
No. It can create a branch, commit files and open a pull request, and each of those waits for approval by default. There is no merge action at all: merging stays with your engineers.
Which repositories can it see?
The ones the GitHub token you connect can see. Use a fine-grained token scoped to the repositories the squad should work in, and assign the connection to the AI agents who need it.
How much work can it take on at once?
The department runs at most five tasks at the same time; the rest waits in line until a slot is free. Add a monthly budget and runs stop when it is spent.
