| 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.
