SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of communicating with parallel live coding agent sessions, eliminating the need to switch contexts or use full remote control to send targeted requests to other running work streams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dry-Run Previews: All messages are previewed by default so you can confirm the correct target session before sending any content.
  • Targeted Bounded Messaging: Send concise, bounded instructions to specific zellij-backed sessions using task slugs, tracker references, or session names.
  • Use Case: If you are debugging a frontend issue and need a parallel agent session running backend tests to check for related API errors, you can send that targeted request without pausing your current work.

Quick Start

Use the cross-session-message skill to ask the 'backend-test-run' session to check for 500 errors in the latest API test logs.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I send instructions to a live coding agent session running in zellij?▼

To send instructions to a live coding agent session running in zellij, use the cross-session-message skill to deliver bounded instructions, status pings, or targeted nudges to specific parallel sessions without requiring full remote control access.

Can I preview a message before sending it to a parallel zellij session?▼

Yes, you can preview a message before sending it to a parallel zellij session. The skill performs dry-run previews by default, allowing you to confirm the correct target session and content before executing any bounded message delivery.

How do I target a specific zellij-backed coding agent session for cross-session messaging?▼

You target a specific zellij-backed coding agent session for cross-session messaging by using task slugs, tracker references, or session names, which the repo-managed send-zellij-message helper resolves to identify the correct live session.

What is the best way to coordinate parallel coding agent workflows without switching contexts?▼

The best way to coordinate parallel coding agent workflows without switching contexts is sending bounded instructions to live zellij-backed sessions, eliminating the need to pause your current work or use full remote control to send targeted requests.

Do I need full remote control access to ping a parallel coding agent session for status updates?▼

No, you do not need full remote control access to ping a parallel coding agent session for status updates. The cross-session-message skill sends bounded instruction delivery directly, requiring only the send-zellij-message helper to resolve targets.

Does cross-session-message support sending keystrokes when delivering instructions to live agent sessions?▼

Yes, cross-session-message supports sending optional enter keystrokes when delivering instructions to live agent sessions. This allows you to automatically submit bounded messages to the targeted zellij-backed coding agent after confirming the dry-run preview.
