SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enables reliable multi-agent communication by providing persistent identities, per-identity inboxes, and a standardized broker CLI to route DMs between Claude Code agents and external collaborators.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Persistent identities derived from the workspace and a per-identity inbox on disk.
  • DM, broadcast, and reply-all routing with built-in patterns and safe defaults.
  • Step-by-step usage guidance for coordinating work across Claude Code instances and human agents.

Quick Start

Install the skill, start the broker server, and verify your identity with broker whoami.

FAQPage Schema
How do I route direct messages between multiple Claude Code agents?

Multi-agent messaging routes direct messages between Claude Code agents using a standardized broker CLI. It provides persistent identities and per-identity inboxes on disk to enable reliable cross-agent communication via send and reply commands.

How do I broadcast a message to all agents in a Claude Code workspace?

Broadcasting messages to all agents in a Claude Code workspace uses the broker broadcast command. This routes a single message to multiple persistent identities simultaneously, ensuring all team members receive the communication in their respective inboxes.

Do I need a persistent identity to manage multi-agent inboxes in Claude Code?

Persistent identities are required to manage multi-agent inboxes in Claude Code. The system derives identities from the workspace and maintains a dedicated inbox on disk for each agent, ensuring messages are routed correctly using the broker whoami verification.

Can I use broker commands to communicate with external collaborators outside Claude Code?

Broker commands support communication with external collaborators outside Claude Code. The standardized broker CLI routes direct messages and broadcasts to both Claude Code instances and human agents, enabling persistent cross-agent communication.

What are the limitations of routing multi-agent messages with on-disk inboxes?

On-disk inboxes for multi-agent messaging rely on the local workspace filesystem, meaning routing is constrained to the environment where the broker server runs. Identity persistence and message delivery depend on continuous disk access and workspace stability.
