## Context

The CLI (`squad-cli`) has bootstrap utilities that run **before** the Squad SDK is loaded. If these files import SDK code (e.g., `FSStorageProvider`, anything from `squad-sdk`), the CLI breaks at startup — no helpful error, just a crash.

This skill applies when:
- Touching any file in `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/core/`
- Running sweeping refactors (e.g., "convert all `fs` calls to `StorageProvider`")
- Adding new bootstrap utilities

## Protected File List

| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/core/detect-squad-dir.ts` | Finds `.squad/` directory at startup — runs before SDK init |
