Single-prompt AI workflows often hit a performance plateau. Multi-agent systems can push past it, but they usually require a massive amount of setup. Squad, an open source project built on GitHub Copilot, initializes a preconfigured AI team directly inside your repo. Learn how to run multi-agent workflows that stay inspectable, predictable, and collaborative. github.blog/ai-and-ml/gith…

@github multi-agent isn’t the problem the setup overhead is blackbox already solved a big part of that

@github I am using blackbox ai's multi agent mode lately and I can say its best so far like my productivity is increased by almost 50% tbh after using it...

@github Multi-agent workflows are powerful, but the setup is the real bottleneck, tools like Blackbox AI already solved a big part of that.

@github yeah the real bottleneck was never the idea it was the setup overhead blackbox ai claudex kinda removes that friction

@github The demo is impressive! I have one question: How are the squad members' models decided?

@github Blackbox AI already solved this. Multi-agent (Claude + Codex) out of the box ..no setup, just ship👀😄

@github the setup problem is real. multi-agent workflows get complex fast with orchestration. curious how squad handles agent coordination - predefined roles or does it adapt team structure based on the task?

@github Setup is easier now, cool. But we all know the real nightmare starts when agents have to collaborate for more than a few turns. Squad solves the marketing part. The actual intelligent coordination problem is still wide open.

@github Does Squad persist each agent's context separately or share one across the team?

@github Multi-agent isn’t the problem; the setup overhead is already a black box and has been solved for a long time.

@github setup is one thing but how does it handle agents stepping on each other's work? that's usually where multi-agent coding breaks down

@github the setup cost is where most teams quit before they even see what multi-agent can actually do

@github Why is Copilot so hella slow? I'd really like to use it but it feels unusable

@github multi-agent systems sound cool, but the setup can kill momentum. open source is the spark though. curious about the impact.

@github Been trying Claudex inside Blackbox and honestly it feels like a different workflow altogether.

@github You did wrong by removing most of the models from GitHub student pack 🙃

@github Squadのようにリポジトリ内で直接マルチエージェントチームを初期化できる設計は実践的ですね。セットアップコストが高いのがマルチエージェントの課題だったので、それを解消しているのは良い方向です。
