bwoc-send
Append a message to an agent's inbox (.bwoc/inbox.jsonl). Fire-and-forget — it does not wait for a reply (use bwoc-run for that).
Wraps the bwoc CLI:
bwoc send <TO> <MESSAGE>
<TO> — recipient agent, by id (agent-foo) or bare name (foo).<MESSAGE> — message text. Quote multi-word messages. Mutually exclusive with --file.
Options (pass through verbatim)
--file <FILE> — use a file's full contents as the message body (instead of <MESSAGE>).--from <FROM> — sender identity. Default user. Pass an agent name for agent→agent messaging (the named sender must exist in the registry).--reply-to <MESSAGE_ID> — thread this as a reply to a prior envelope (msg-<slug>-<hex>).--no-wakeup — skip the best-effort tmux wakeup ping.--workspace <PATH> — override workspace root.--lang <en|th> — output language.
Examples
bwoc send <agent> "Please draft the API spec for the new endpoint."
bwoc send <agent> --file ./brief.md
bwoc send <agent> "ack" --from <agent> --reply-to <msg-id>
Always quote the message safely so shell metacharacters in user text are not interpreted. This is a thin wrapper — no business logic.
