🌟 QUEST OVERVIEW

BUILD YOUR ULTIMATE DEV PARTY! 🎲⚔️

Transform your SQUAD from a stock team into a custom-tailored dream team of AI agents specialized for YOUR domain! Like assembling the perfect RPG party, you'll recruit domain-specific agents, configure their skill trees, and set up team ceremonies to tackle unique challenges.

🎯 Mission: Customize SQUAD for a healthcare SaaS app that needs HIPAA compliance agents, medical terminology validators, and data anonymizers — agents that don't exist in the base game!
