SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enables reliable coordination between distributed agents by sending and receiving structured signals over ATProtocol to synchronize announcements, collaboration requests, handoffs, and acknowledgments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Signal types: broadcast, capability_announcement, collaboration_request, handoff, and ack to coordinate cross-agent workflows.
  • Tooling: provides a coordination utility (tools/coordination.py) to send signals, list signals, query by agent, and acknowledge receipt.
  • Use Case: Teams running multi-agent collaborations can broadcast essential updates or hand off context to another agent to continue processing.

Quick Start

Broadcast a network-wide capability update to all connected agents.

What types of coordination signals can I send between agents?

You can send five coordination signal types: broadcast, capability_announcement, collaboration_request, handoff, and ack to manage cross-agent workflows and acknowledgments.

How do I broadcast a capability update to connected agents?

Use the provided coordination tooling to send a capability_announcement signal, broadcasting your agent's updated capabilities network-wide to all connected ATProtocol agents.

Can I query coordination signals by specific agent?

Yes, the coordination utility allows you to list signals, query by agent, send new signals, and acknowledge receipt to track distributed cognition workflows effectively.

Do I need specific dependencies to use ATProtocol agent coordination?

No external dependencies are required to use this ATProtocol agent coordination skill, as it operates independently using the network.comind.signal schema and built-in tooling.
