/hub:board — Message Board

Interface for the AgentHub message board. Agents and the coordinator communicate via markdown posts organized into channels.

Usage

/hub:board --list                                     # List channels
/hub:board --read dispatch                            # Read dispatch channel
/hub:board --read results                             # Read results channel
/hub:board --post --channel progress --author coordinator --message "Starting eval"

What It Does

List Channels

python {skill_path}/scripts/board_manager.py --list

Output:

Board Channels:

  dispatch        2 posts
  progress        4 posts
  results         3 posts

Read Channel

python {skill_path}/scripts/board_manager.py --read {channel}

Displays all posts in chronological order with frontmatter metadata.

Post Message

python {skill_path}/scripts/board_manager.py \
  --post --channel {channel} --author {author} --message "{text}"

Reply to Thread

python {skill_path}/scripts/board_manager.py \
  --thread {post-id} --message "{text}" --author {author}

Channels

Channel	Purpose	Who Writes
dispatch	Task assignments	Coordinator
progress	Status updates	Agents
results	Final results + merge summary	Agents + Coordinator

Post Format

All posts use YAML frontmatter:

---
author: agent-1
timestamp: 2026-03-17T14:35:10Z
channel: results
sequence: 1
parent: null
---

Message content here.

Example result post for a content task:

---
author: agent-2
timestamp: 2026-03-17T15:20:33Z
channel: results
sequence: 2
parent: null
---

## Result Summary

- **Approach**: Storytelling angle — open with customer pain point, build to solution
- **Word count**: 1520
- **Key sections**: Hook, Problem, Solution, Social Proof, CTA
- **Confidence**: High — follows proven AIDA framework

Board Rules

• Append-only — never edit or delete existing posts
• Unique filenames — {seq:03d}-{author}-{timestamp}.md
• Frontmatter required — every post has author, timestamp, channel
