FAQPage Schema

How do I manage a SQLite event queue for inter-agent communication?▼

You can manage a SQLite event queue for inter-agent communication using a command-line interface that supports pushing, watching, listing, and claiming events to facilitate asynchronous task distribution. It enables seamless multi-agent coordination.

How do I push a new event to a SQLite-backed event queue via CLI?▼

To push a new event via CLI, you use the event pushing feature to add entries to the SQLite queue with specified event types and JSON payloads. This allows agents to inject tasks like 'task.created' for other workers to process.

Can I track worker positions in an event stream to ensure reliable delivery?▼

Yes, you can track worker positions in an event stream using cursor management features. This functionality monitors and updates worker positions within the SQLite event queue to guarantee reliable event delivery and processing.

Does this event queue CLI support filtering historical events by worker or type?▼

Yes, the event queue CLI supports retrieving historical events with flexible filtering options. You can filter the historical event records retrieved from the SQLite queue by specific worker, event type, and event ID.

What is the best way to coordinate which worker processes a specific event?▼

The best way to coordinate which worker processes a specific event is by using the event claiming feature. This mechanism coordinates worker assignments to ensure only one agent processes a claimed event, avoiding task duplication.
