# SquadResource Constructors

- Package: [CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.Squad](/reference/api/csharp/communitytoolkit.aspire.hosting.squad.md)
- Type: [SquadResource](/reference/api/csharp/communitytoolkit.aspire.hosting.squad/squadresource.md)
- Kind: `Constructors`
- Members: `1`

Represents a Squad AI-agent team as a first-class Aspire resource. Implements `ApplicationModel.IResourceWithConnectionString` so that downstream services can reference the team with `.WithReference(squad)` and receive a custom `squad://` descriptor that encodes the resource name, team root, and agent roster. The resource is a logical Aspire resource; it does not start a listener by itself.
