SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a standardized and secure methodology for different AI orchestrators (or "skills") to communicate with each other across separate GitHub repositories, ensuring messages are tracked, processed, and responded to reliably.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized Messaging: Defines clear message types (labels) and communication flows for inter-repo interactions.
  • Secure Discovery: Uses GitHub API polling to discover messages, ensuring only authorized communication channels are used.
  • State Tracking: Maintains local state.json to prevent duplicate processing of messages.
  • Use Case: An 'audit' skill in one repository can send a recommendation to a 'main' skill in another repository using a specific label, and the 'main' skill can respond by creating a new issue on its own repository, which the 'audit' skill can then poll for.

Quick Start

Use the cross-repo communication skill to send an audit recommendation to the main repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enable inter-repository communication between AI orchestrators?▼

GitHub issues can be used as a messaging layer for cross-repo communication by defining specific labels and formatting conventions for messages. AI orchestrators poll the GitHub API to discover and route these messages securely across distinct repositories.

How do I send a message from one GitHub repository to another using issues?▼

You can send a message across repositories by creating a GitHub issue with a specific label in the target repository. The receiving orchestrator polls for this labeled issue, processes the request, and responds by creating a new issue in its own repository.

Do I need GitHub CLI to orchestrate communication across repositories?▼

Yes, the GitHub CLI (`gh`) is required to handle the API interactions for secure message discovery and routing. It enables the standardized communication flows and state tracking needed across distinct GitHub repositories.

How does cross-repo communication prevent duplicate processing of messages?▼

Duplicate message processing is prevented by maintaining a local `state.json` file for state tracking. This file records which GitHub issues have already been discovered and processed by the AI orchestrators during cross-repo communication.

What is the best way to standardize messaging for AI orchestrators across separate repos?▼

Standardizing messaging for AI orchestrators is best achieved by defining clear message types and communication flows using GitHub labels. This ensures messages are tracked, processed, and responded to reliably across separate repositories.
