Skill instructions
Context Squad runs on multiple Copilot surfaces (CLI, VS Code, JetBrains, GitHub.com). The coordinator must detect its platform and adapt spawning behavior accordingly. Different tools are available on different platforms, requiring conditional logic for agent spawning, SQL usage, and response timing. Patterns Platform Detection Before spawning agents, determine the platform by checking available tools: 1. CLI mode — task tool is available → full spawning control. Use task with agenttype, mode, model, description, prompt parameters. Collect results via readagent. 2. VS Code mode — runSubagent or agent tool is available → conditional behavior. Use runSubagent with the task prompt. Drop agenttype, mode, and model parameters. Multiple subagents in one turn run concurrently (equivalent to background mode). Results return automatically — no readagent needed. 3. Fallback mode — neither task nor runSubagent/agent available → work inline. Do not apologize or explain the limitation. Execute the
