What problem does it solve?
It removes the complexity of coordinating two AI agents running in separate tmux panes by turning task handoffs into simple request/response updates.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Task delegation over tmux: Send work to a specific worker pane without requiring pane management or tmux awareness from the assigning agent.
- Progress and results via request IDs: Report incremental updates and final outcomes through the mate update mechanism tied to a request ID.
- Context-safe operation: Clear or preserve mate context appropriately when assigning tasks, and keep responsibility boundaries (captain handles orchestration; mate handles execution).
Quick Start
Ask your captain agent to assign a task to the mate worker using mate assign, then read back the result via mate update through the request ID.
