Message the Claude Code sessions of OTHER PEOPLE on your Brigade team (cross-user, cross-machine) with the `brigade` CLI, and handle incoming <brigade-message> frames. Use when asked to tell, ask, notify or hand off to a teammate's session, when asked who is on the team, or whenever a <brigade-message> frame arrives.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Brigade team messaging with the `brigade` CLI

Brigade connects Claude Code sessions that belong to **different people and machines** in one team. It is not
the built-in `ListAgents` / `SendMessage`, which reach only your own sessions. `brigade` is on PATH while the
plugin is enabled; run it through the Bash tool.

| Need | Use |
| --- | --- |
| Your own sessions (this machine, Remote Control, cloud) | built-in `ListAgents`, `SendMessage` |
| A teammate's session (another person, any machine) | `brigade sessions`, `brigade send` |

## Quick start

```bash
# who is on the team right now (session_id is the address; names can collide)
brigade sessions
# send a message; the body always travels on stdin, never on the command line
brigade send <session_id> --summary "Migration landed" <<'EOF'
The tenant_id migration is merged on master. Nothing to do on your side.
EOF
```

## Commands

```bash
brigade sessions                 # teammates' sessions: session_id, name, human label, state, inbound policy
brigade sessions --all           # include offline sessions
brigade whoami                   # this session's Brigade session_id, name and team

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add appshapes/brigade/team-messaging@sha256:34c1b08120790c1f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260830.66174aa, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
