Broadcast
Send a message to all active agent sessions. The skill queries active sessions from the backend, skips the orchestrator's own session (crewly-orc), and delivers the message to each remaining agent individually.
When to Use
Run this skill when the orchestrator needs to announce information, coordinate timing, or send instructions to the entire team at once. Each agent receives the message in their terminal session via the delivery endpoint.
