## Menu Presentation Rules

**Host-dependent invocation:** `user-invocable: true` declares menu intent, not a guarantee
that every host exposes `/squad`. Use natural-language triggers or the host skill picker/tool
when slash invocation is unavailable. This menu is separate from the `Squad` coordinator agent.

When the user triggers this skill (via `/squad` slash command, "squad commands", "help", "what can squad do", etc.):

1. **Category-level menu first.** Present category names as an `ask_user` choice list:
   ```
   📋 Squad Commands — pick a category:
   1. Install & Upgrade
   2. Team Management
   3. Issues & PRs
   4. Plugins & Skills
   5. Model & Cost
   6. Sessions & State
   ```
2. **Drill-down.** After selection, show operation titles in that category as a second `ask_user` list.
3. **Direct match skips the menu.** If the user says "how do I upgrade with state backend," match to the specific entry and go straight to argument collection.
4. **Compact fallback.** If `ask_user` is unavailable, render as a markdown table instead.
5. **Back / Cancel.** Include "← Back to categories" in sub-menus. Include "Cancel" in confirmation prompts. Respect "never mind" / "cancel" at any point.

**Argument collection:** For entries with `args`, iterate the list sequentially. Use `ask_user` with choices when `choices` is provided; free-text prompt otherwise. If the user says "just do it" or "defaults are fine," skip remaining args and use their defaults.

**Confirmation template:**
```
⚠️ This will {action-description}.
{what will change}
Proceed? (yes / no)
```
