SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The Layman Agent Awareness Platform provides distributed command-and-control across machines using a shared filesystem and git-backed bus, enabling cross-harness coordination and discourse continuity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized status and rollup for multi-agent health and progress
  • Conversation Context layer to maintain cross-harness discourse
  • Secrets pattern and 'Layman Secrets' for OS credential management
  • Use Case: Lead agent consolidates per-agent status into a project rollup and reads current_topic.yaml to surface decisions.

Quick Start

Instantiate a project directory layout with command-hub style folders, then read conversations/current_topic.yaml to understand current discourse before inspecting agent statuses with status.yaml.

FAQPage Schema
How do I synchronize agent status and conversation context across multiple machines?

You can synchronize agent status and conversation context across machines by using a shared filesystem with a git-backed bus. This establishes distributed awareness by enforcing standardized status rollups and metadata frontmatter for heterogeneous harnesses.

What is the best way to coordinate heterogeneous agent harnesses in a distributed project?

Coordinating heterogeneous agent harnesses is best handled through a centralized command-hub directory layout. A lead agent can then consolidate per-agent health and progress into a project rollup while reading current_topic.yaml to surface decisions.

How does a git-backed bus handle cross-harness discourse and directives?

A git-backed bus handles cross-harness discourse by maintaining a conversation context layer and enforcing a safe directive workflow. It synchronizes current discourse topics and health directives across agents using standardized frontmatter metadata.

Do I need a shared filesystem to manage multi-agent health rollups and secrets?

Yes, a shared filesystem is required to manage multi-agent health rollups and secrets. It enables the centralized status tracking and OS credential management patterns necessary for distributed command-and-control across machines.

How do I start monitoring multi-agent health and progress using a shared filesystem?

To start monitoring multi-agent health, instantiate a project directory with command-hub style folders. Read conversations/current_topic.yaml to understand current discourse, then inspect individual agent statuses via status.yaml files.
