AI DevKit · Exchange information with active Codex, Claude Code, and other AI agents using ai-devkit agent list, detail, and send. Use when an agent needs to find another active agent, read its recent context, send it information, or request information back.

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

# Agent Communication

Use `ai-devkit agent ...` to discover and communicate with active agents. If `ai-devkit` is not on PATH, use `npx ai-devkit@latest agent ...`.

## Commands

```bash
ai-devkit agent list --json
ai-devkit agent detail --id <agent-name> --json --tail 20
ai-devkit agent send --id <agent-name> "<message>"
ai-devkit agent send --id <agent-name> --wait --timeout 120000 --json "<message>"
<command> 2>&1 | ai-devkit agent send --id <agent-name> --stdin
```

## Notes

- `list --json` returns active agents with fields such as `name`, `type`, `status`, `summary`, `projectPath`, and `lastActive`.
- Use the `name` from `list --json` as `--id`. Partial matches are supported, but exact names are safer.
- Use `detail --json --tail <n>` to read recent context from an agent before deciding what to send.
- `send --wait` waits for a reply; add `--json` when the response should be machine-readable.
- `send --stdin` forwards piped command output or larger text.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add codeaholicguy/ai-devkit/agent-communication@sha256:658eb077d354623a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260606.2314ac9, 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.
