agent-communication

name	agent-communication
description	AI DevKit · Exchange information with active Codex, Claude Code, and other AI agents using ai-devkit agent list, detail, and send. Use when an agent needs to find another active agent, read its recent context, send it information, or request information back.

Agent Communication

Use ai-devkit agent ... to discover and communicate with active agents. If ai-devkit is not on PATH, use npx ai-devkit@latest agent ....

Commands

ai-devkit agent list --json
ai-devkit agent detail --id <agent-name> --json --tail 20
ai-devkit agent send --id <agent-name> "<message>"
ai-devkit agent send --id <agent-name> --wait --timeout 120000 --json "<message>"
<command> 2>&1 | ai-devkit agent send --id <agent-name> --stdin

Notes

• list --json returns active agents with fields such as name, type, status, summary, projectPath, and lastActive.
• Use the name from list --json as --id. Partial matches are supported, but exact names are safer.
• Use detail --json --tail <n> to read recent context from an agent before deciding what to send.
• send --wait waits for a reply; add --json when the response should be machine-readable.
• send --stdin forwards piped command output or larger text.
