SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinate asynchronous, same-filesystem coordination messages between MPI agents by creating and organizing durable coordination records under .agents/mpi-kanban/state/messages/. This enables parallel work without collisions and keeps agents aligned on progress.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Send and manage tells to other agents, read inbox messages, acknowledge, reply, and resolve coordination tasks.
  • Route messages to a known peer workspace while preserving a single coordination state per work context.

Quick Start

Tell an agent to initiate a coordination message and then verify the inbox for a response.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate asynchronous messaging between agents on the same filesystem?

You can coordinate asynchronous messaging between agents by creating and updating structured message records under .agents/mpi-kanban/state/messages/, ensuring parallel work proceeds without collisions.

What operations are supported for durable agent coordination messages?

Supported operations for durable coordination messages include tell, inbox, ack, reply, resolve, and routing to a peer workspace to keep all agents aligned on progress.

How does the agent messaging workflow ensure safe concurrency?

Safe concurrency is ensured by using shared references from mpi-lib alongside a validated claimed-file workflow, which prevents write collisions when multiple agents mutate coordination state.

Do I need to resolve the mpi-lib root before sending coordination messages?

Yes, resolving the mpi-lib root and reading coordination references are required prerequisites before mutating any state to send or manage asynchronous agent messages.

When do I need durable coordination records for asynchronous workflows?

Durable coordination records are needed when multiple agents work in parallel on the same filesystem and must stay aligned on task progress without overwriting each other's state updates.

Can I route coordination messages to a peer workspace?

Yes, you can route messages to a known peer workspace while preserving a single coordination state per work context to maintain consistent asynchronous task alignment.
