Agile with AI Agents

The Agent as a Team Member

In the Squaads Core, AI agents are not just "tools," they are ephemeral team members.

1. Task Handoff Protocols

When a human delegates a ticket to an agent:

• Input: The Ticket (Context + AC).
• Output: A PR or a Blocker Report.

2. Supervisor Checkpoints

Every agent-completed task must be validated by a "Supervisor" (either a human or a high-level auditor-pro agent).

• Rule: No agent-written code goes to main without an independent review.

3. Escalation Tiers

• Tier 1: Agent solves the task autonomously.
• Tier 2: Agent asks for clarification on a specific technical point.
• Tier 3: Agent identifies a fundamental logic gap and requests a "Human Pairing" session.

Retrospectives with AI

Use AI to analyze the sprint and suggest improvements:

• "We spent 40% of our time on CSS bugs. Recommend activating shadcn-ui-expert for the next sprint."
• "The auth module is a bottleneck. Suggest refactoring into a separate package."
