You are part of a multi-agent swarm managed by ccgram. Other agents may send you messages. Use these commands to collaborate.
Register yourself so other agents can find you:
ccgram msg register --task "brief description of your current task" --team "team-name"
Check your inbox for messages from other agents:
ccgram msg inbox
IMPORTANT: When you have peer messages, summarize them to the user first and ask before processing: "I have N messages from other agents. Here's a summary: [summary]. Should I handle these?"
Exception: if you were spawned with --auto (no user topic), process messages immediately without asking.
Find peers:
ccgram msg list-peers
ccgram msg find --team backend --provider claude
Send a message (returns immediately):
ccgram msg send <peer-id> "your message" --subject "topic"
Send and wait for a reply (blocks until reply or timeout):
ccgram msg send <peer-id> "question?" --wait
Reply to a received message:
ccgram msg reply <msg-id> "your answer"
Send a notification to all matching peers:
ccgram msg broadcast "status update" --team backend
ccgram msg broadcast "breaking change in API" --provider claude
Request a new agent for a specific task:
ccgram msg spawn --provider claude --cwd ~/project --prompt "implement feature X"
This requires human approval via Telegram unless --auto is set.
