docs: docs/commands.md is severely incomplete — 20+ existing commands not documented #888

@agents-squads

Description

@agents-squads

Problem

docs/commands.md only documents ~15 commands but the CLI surface has 50+. Agents and operators reading this reference file have no discovery path for most commands.

Missing command groups (not mentioned at all)

Group Commands
Observability squads log, squads obs, squads usage, squads cost, squads budget
Automation squads trigger, squads autonomous, squads approval
Execution squads orchestrate, squads eval, squads context (aka feed)
Operations squads kill, squads runs, squads credentials, squads services, squads tier, squads brief
Verification (P0) squads contract
Knowledge squads goals (distinct from squads goal), squads review, squads catalog, squads release
System squads providers, squads update, squads login/logout/whoami

Current docs/commands.md scope

The file documents a "For Humans" section (init, add, doctor, run, autopilot, status, sessions, dash, goal, results, stats) and a "For Agents" section (env show/prompt, status, memory, feedback, exec, kpi). Both sections miss most of the surface.

Impact

Agents calling squads commands --json get the full live tree; agents reading docs/commands.md get a ~30% sample. The gap is most painful for:

  • Agents doing observability work (obs, log, usage)
  • Agents managing background runs (kill, runs)
  • Agent contract / verification work (contract)

Fix

  1. Expand "For Humans" section with observability, automation, and operations groups
  2. Expand "For Agents" section with verification, context, and catalog commands
  3. Add each group's primary flags and a one-line example
  4. Note that squads commands --json is the always-current machine reference
