The post introduces Squad, an open-source multi-agent framework built on the GitHub Copilot CLI/SDK, and Squad.Agents.AI — a NuGet package that wraps a Squad team as a standard MAF AIAgent via a single DI call. Unlike stateless agents, Squad accumulates domain knowledge over time: it remembers architectural decisions, extracts reusable skills, respects corrections, and onboards new specialists instantly. The integration provides OpenTelemetry spans per dispatched specialist out of the box, making multi-agent fan-out observable in Aspire, Jaeger, or Application Insights without extra plumbing. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
