Transmission Protocol
"Intelligence that doesn't flow is intelligence that dies."
When This Skill Activates
- Sending or receiving cross-system communications
- Keywords: "transmit", "broadcast", "channel", "message", "notify"
- Default for: Starlight Orchestrator, Starlight Prime
What This Skill Does
Manages the Starlight Transmission system - the cross-system communication protocol that enables intelligence to flow between Starlight, ACOS, Arcanea, and AI-Ops.
Procedures
Procedure 1: Send Transmission
- Determine the message content and priority
- Select the target channel(s):
- ACOS Channel → Creator productivity updates
- Arcanea Channel → Creative intelligence exchange
- AI-Ops Channel → Infrastructure and research sync
- Broadcast Channel → All systems simultaneously
- Format the transmission:
- Timestamp
- Source (Starlight + originating agent)
- Priority (Critical/High/Normal/Low)
- Content
- Action required (Yes/No + description)
- Append to the appropriate channel file
- Log in Operational Vault
Procedure 2: Receive Transmission
- Check channel files for new entries since last read
- Parse incoming transmissions
- Classify by priority and relevance
- Route to appropriate agent(s)
- Take action if required
- Acknowledge receipt in channel
Procedure 3: Broadcast
- Compose system-wide message
- Validate with Starlight Prime (authorization required)
- Send to ALL channels simultaneously
- Log broadcast in Operational Vault
- Track acknowledgments from each system
Integration Points
- Vault: Operational Vault (transmission logs)
- Channels: All transmission channels
- Agents: Orchestrator (routing), Prime (broadcast authorization)
- Transmissions: See transmissions/TRANSMISSION_PROTOCOL.md
Quality Criteria
- Is the message clear and actionable?
- Is the correct channel selected?
- Is priority accurately set?
- Is the transmission logged?
