+# Consult Mode
+
+> ⚠️ **Experimental** — Squad is alpha software. APIs, commands, and behavior may change between releases.
+
+
+Consult mode lets you bring your personal squad to projects you don't own — OSS contributions, client work, temporary collaborations — without leaving any trace. Your team consults, does the work, learns things, and returns home with only the generic learnings you approve.
+
+---
+
+## The Problem
+
+You have a personal squad at your global path (e.g., `~/.config/squad/.squad` on Linux) with agents, skills, and decisions refined over time. When you contribute to someone else's project, you face a dilemma:
+
+- **Pollute the project?** Running `squad init` creates a `.squad/` folder they didn't ask for
+- **Pollute your squad?** Project-specific knowledge bleeds into your global squad
+- **Work without your team?** Lose the productivity benefits you've built up
+
+---
+
+## The Solution
+
+Your team **consults** on a project. They bring their expertise, do the work, and learn things. When done, they extract what's reusable and return home. The project never knows Squad was there.
+
+| Aspect | Normal Mode | Consult Mode |
+|--------|-------------|--------------|
+| Squad location | `.squad/` in project | **Copy** of personal squad into project `.squad/` |
+| Git visibility | Committed or `.gitignore` | Invisible via `.git/info/exclude` |
+| Writes go to | Project `.squad/` | Project `.squad/` (isolated copy) |
+| After session | Stays in project | Extract generic learnings → personal squad, discard rest |
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### OSS Contribution
+
+```bash
+cd ~/projects/kubernetes-dashboard
+squad consult                 # Enter consult mode
+# ... do your work with your squad ...
+squad extract                 # Review and extract generic learnings
+squad extract --clean --yes   # Clean up after extraction
+```
+
+### Client Work
+
+```bash
+cd ~/client-projects/acme-corp
+squad consult                 # Enter consult mode
+# ... work on the project ...
+squad extract --dry-run       # Preview what would be extracted
+squad extract --clean         # Extract and clean up (prompts for confirmation)
+```
+
+### Check Status
+
+```bash
+squad consult --status        # See if consult mode is active
+squad consult --check         # Dry-run: show what would happen
+```
+
+---
+
+## Command Reference
+
+### `squad consult`
+
+Enter consult mode with your personal squad.
+
+```bash
+squad consult              # Enter consult mode
+squad consult --status     # Check current consult mode status
+squad consult --check      # Dry-run: show what would happen without creating files
+```
+
+**What happens:**
+
+1. Copies your personal squad into the project's `.squad/` directory
+2. Adds `.squad/` and `.github/agents/squad.agent.md` to `.git/info/exclude`
+3. Patches the Scribe charter with extraction instructions
+4. Creates a staging area at `.squad/extract/` for generic learnings
+
+**Created structure:**
+
+```
+.squad/                     # Full copy of personal squad
+├── config.json             # { "consult": true, "sourceSquad": "...", ... }
+├── agents/                 # Copied from personal squad
+├── skills/                 # Copied from personal squad
+├── decisions.md            # Copied from personal squad
+├── scribe-charter.md       # Patched with consult mode extraction instructions
+├── sessions/               # Local session history
+└── extract/                # Staging area for generic learnings
+
+.github/agents/
+└── squad.agent.md          # Points to local .squad/ (also excluded from git)
+```
+
+**Requirements:**
+
+- You must have a personal squad configured
+- The project must not already have a committed `.squad/` folder
+
+---
+
+### `squad extract`
+
+Extract generic learnings from a consult session back to your personal squad.
+
+```bash
+squad extract                    # Review and extract generic learnings
+squad extract --dry-run          # Preview what would be extracted (no changes)
+squad extract --clean            # Also delete project .squad/ after (prompts for confirmation)
+squad extract --clean --yes      # Delete without confirmation
+squad extract --accept-risks     # Allow extraction despite license risks
+```
+
+**What happens:**
+
+1. Reads the project's LICENSE file
+2. Loads staged learnings from `.squad/extract/`
+3. Presents an interactive selection UI
+4. Merges selected items to your personal squad
+5. Logs the consultation to `<personal-squad>/consultations/{project}.md`
+6. Optionally cleans up the project `.squad/` directory
+
+**Example output:**
+
+```
+📤 Learnings staged for extraction:
+
+⚠️  License: MIT (safe to extract)
+
+Found 3 learning(s) in .squad/extract/:
+  [1] use-async-await.md
+  [2] validate-inputs.md  
+  [3] prefer-composition.md
+
+Select learnings to extract (space to toggle, enter to confirm):
+❯ ◉ use-async-await.md
+  ◉ validate-inputs.md
+  ◉ prefer-composition.md
+
+Extract 3 learning(s)? [Y/n]
+```
+
+---
+
+## Learning Classification
+
+During your consult session, the **Scribe** automatically classifies decisions as they're made:
+
+### Generic (applies to any project)
+
+Copied to `.squad/extract/` for later extraction:
+
+- "Always use async/await instead of callbacks"
+- "Validate inputs at API boundaries"
+- "Prefer composition over inheritance"
+- Best practices, coding standards, patterns that work anywhere
+
+### Project-specific (only applies here)
+
+Kept in local `decisions.md` only — not extracted:
+
+- References to specific file paths in the project
+- Project-specific config, APIs, or schemas
+- Decisions that mention "this project" or "this codebase"
+
+**You always have final say.** The Scribe proposes by writing to `extract/`, you approve or reject via `squad extract`. No extraction happens without your explicit confirmation.
+
+---
+
+## License Handling
+
+### Permissive Licenses (Safe)
+
+MIT, Apache, BSD, ISC — proceed normally:
+
+```
+⚠️  License: MIT (safe to extract)
+```
+
+### Copyleft Licenses (Blocked)
+
+GPL, AGPL, LGPL — extraction is blocked by default:
+
+```
+🚫 License: GPL-3.0 (copyleft)
+   Extraction blocked. Patterns from copyleft projects may carry
+   license obligations that affect your future work.
+   
+   See: https://squad.dev/docs/license-risk
+   
+   To proceed anyway: squad extract --accept-risks
+```
+
+To override:
+
+```bash
+squad extract --accept-risks
+```
+
+---
+
+## Technical Notes
+
+### Git Invisibility
+
+Consult mode uses `.git/info/exclude` to hide Squad files:
+
+- Same syntax as `.gitignore`
+- Lives inside `.git/`, so it's never committed
+- Project owners never see it
+- `git status` shows nothing Squad-related
+
+### Why Copy Instead of Reference?
+
+Your personal squad is **copied** into the project rather than referenced:
+
+- Changes during the session don't pollute your personal squad
+- Session-specific decisions stay isolated until explicitly extracted
+- Works offline (no dependency on external path)
+- Clean separation between "consulting" and "bringing home"
+
+### Consultation Log
+
+All consultations are tracked in your personal squad at `consultations/{project}.md`:
+
+```markdown
+# kubernetes-dashboard
+
+**First consulted:** 2026-02-27  
+**Last session:** 2026-03-15  
+**License:** Apache-2.0
+
+## Sessions
+
+### 2026-02-27
+- use-async-await.md: "### Always use async/await..."
+- validate-inputs.md: "### Validate inputs at API..."
+
+### 2026-03-15
+- prefer-composition.md: "### Prefer composition over..."
+```
+
+---
+
+## Tips
+
+- Run `squad consult --check` before entering consult mode to preview what will happen
+- Use `squad extract --dry-run` to review staged learnings without committing
+- The `--clean` flag is convenient for OSS drive-by contributions where you won't return
+- Consult mode errors out if the project already has a committed `.squad/` — use normal mode instead
+- Your personal squad is never modified during the session — only via explicit `squad extract`
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- **Set up a personal squad:** See [Your Personal Squad](../guide/personal-squad.md) for initial setup with `squad init --global`
+- **Learn about sharing:** See [Export & Import](./export-import.md) for portable team snapshots
+- **Upstream inheritance:** See [Upstream Inheritance](./upstream-inheritance.md) for knowledge sharing across teams

 What's still rough:
 - No sync mechanism between machines yet — `~/.squad/` is local to your machine
 - Project keys aren't used for anything yet (that `null` in config.json)
-- The resolution system is simple — no conflict handling if team identity diverges
 - No UI for browsing your global skills or agent histories (it's files for now)
