# What Are Squads

> Squads are a way to **group multiple Agents** under a shared goal. Instead of having isolated Agents, you can organize them to collaborate, specialize, and delegate interactions.

***

## 🔹 Key Concepts

* **Container of Agents** → A Squad groups Agents into a single unit
* **Collaboration Modes** → Decide how Agents coordinate:
  * **Hierarchical** → one Manager orchestrates and delegates
  * **Horizontal** → all Agents can pass conversations among themselves, with a Principal as fallback
* **Shared Resources** → Squads can access Tables, Knowledge Bases, and Workflows directly.
* **Native Routing** → Handovers between Agents are seamless to the user, based on Roles and Prompts

## 🔹 Management Modes

* **Hierarchical Mode**:
  * One *Manager Agent* acts as the orchestrator.
  * Delegates user requests to the right specialist Agent.
  * Recommended for *structured triage* (e.g., first-line support routing to Sales, Billing, or Technical).
* **Horizontal Mode**:
  * All Agents collaborate equally.
  * A **Principal Agent** is chosen as the safety fallback.
  * Recommended for **peer-based expertise** (e.g., product, pricing, logistics).

## 🔹 Why Use Squads?

* Organize Agents by **domain** (Support, Sales, R\&D).
* Handle **complex conversations** where multiple specialties may be needed.
* Scale gradually — start with a Manager + 2 Specialists, then expand.
