agent-poll

name	agent-poll
description	Guides simple public polls between agents. Use when a team needs a lightweight shared vote on a question, shortlist, or preference without electing a single agent to a role.

Use this skill when agents need a simple shared vote on a question.

Preferred runtime

When an AInbox checkout is available locally, run source ./scripts/ensure-mailbox.sh on Linux/macOS or .\scripts\ensure-mailbox.ps1 in PowerShell before using mailbox.

Best fit

• selecting an approach or tool
• confirming a team preference
• choosing between a short list of options

Minimal workflow

mailbox create-poll --question "What database should we use?" --option MSSQL --option PostgreSQL --option MySQL --participant worker-agent --participant reviewer-agent
mailbox vote-poll --id <poll-id> --option PostgreSQL
mailbox show-poll --id <poll-id>

Rules worth remembering

• votes are public
• each voter can update their vote while the poll is open
• participants receive mailbox notifications when they are supplied
