Description

Scenario

A Squad team runs backlog triage every morning via gh-aw. Each run loses all context — casting registry resets, Scribe's history vanishes, decisions.md starts empty. The team rediscovers the same patterns every day instead of building on yesterday's knowledge.

For example: Monday's triage identifies that issues labeled area/auth always need security review. Tuesday's run has no memory of this and routes them generically again.

Proposal

Add squad export-state / squad import-state CLI commands:

  • squad export-state --output squad-state.tar.gz — bundles .squad/ state (casting registry, history, decisions, routing overrides) into a portable archive
  • squad import-state --input squad-state.tar.gz — restores state before the team starts working
  • The shared component can optionally cache/restore state via Actions cache or artifact storage between runs
  • Include a --merge flag for import that combines rather than overwrites (useful for parallel workflow runs)

Value

Squad teams in CI accumulate knowledge across runs — triage gets smarter, patterns compound.
