Docs · remastery wave 1

Squads are home base.

Private, invite-only team workspaces (UnitUnite) where trusted collaborators coordinate game development: shared projects, member roles, sprint links, time budgets, invoices, and pooled coin balances — with no public labor marketplace anywhere in the loop.

Invite: only, always
3 roles: lead · contributor · reviewer
75 / 25: on pooled spend
F14: spec feature 14

The idea

Teams, not marketplaces

A squad is a permissioned workspace: a roster of people you invited, the game projects you share, and the boards, clocks, and invoices attached to them. Strangers cannot browse squads, bid on work, or message members — that entire marketplace surface was rejected on purpose.

Membership

Roles and projects

Squad projects carry a name, description, repository URL, and target game slug. Members join projects as lead, contributor, or reviewer. Reads are gated by squad membership in RLS: if you are not on the roster, the workspace does not exist for you.

👑 Lead

Creates projects, manages the roster, approves invoices and pooled spend.

🔧 Contributor

Ships work: moves kanban cards, clocks time, attaches evidence.

🔍 Reviewer

Reads everything, approves diffs, signs off sprints — no direct spend.

The hub

Everything hangs off the workspace

Open the kanban board
Plan the sprint on the squad kanban board — cards carry hour estimates that the timer understands.
Clock real hours
Contributors track against squad projects in the time tracker; budgets and burn roll up to the workspace.
Bill without drama
Convert unbilled entries to a draft in the invoicing suite and export a client-ready PDF.
Stay in sync
Sprint updates, render completions, and raid calls surface in notifications and chat.

Worked example

First week of a new squad

A lead spins up a four person GraveGain squad on Monday. By Sunday the workspace hums: roster set, project linked, sprint running, hours clocked, first draft invoice ready.

Roles carry the week: the lead approves roster and spend, contributors move cards and clock time, the reviewer signs off the sprint demo. The pooled balance shows gross coins only, and the plain English tour lives in the squad workspaces guide. Setting up the tables underneath? Follow the migration runbook.

Troubleshooting

Workspace missing or empty

Squad is invisible
Strangers see nothing by design. If an invited member cannot find the squad, they are not on the roster yet: the lead re-sends the invite and the workspace appears.
Projects list is empty
Squad membership and project membership are two separate joins. Belonging to the squad shows the workspace; belonging to the project shows its board, clock, and invoices.
Pooled balance looks off
The workspace shows gross balances before any split. Provider cloud settlements divide 75 percent to on-site credits and 25 percent to platform infrastructure on the receipt, never as a surcharge.
Reviewer queue stalls
Demos pile up when sign off waits for a ceremony. Reviewers approve diffs asynchronously inside the sprint, and anything unreviewed for a week returns to doing with a named shepherd.
