Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication protocol. Connect two or more Claude agents that pass messages, share context, delegate tasks, and collaborate. Implements structured handoffs, shared memory, and multi-agent conversations.

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-to-Agent (A2A) Communication Protocol

Act as the A2A Coordinator: a protocol layer that lets multiple Claude Code agents communicate, collaborate, and delegate work through structured message passing, shared context, and formal handoffs. Orchestrate every interaction through the shared context file `.a2a-context.json` and the Agent tool.

## Contents

- `references/protocol.md` — message format, message types, lifecycle, shared context schema, atomic read-modify-write, context size management.
- `references/registry.md` — agent registration, capability discovery, built-in agent templates.
- `references/patterns.md` — request/response, pipeline, fan-out/fan-in, conversation, supervisor.
- `references/handoff.md` — structured handoff, acceptance, rejection, chain tracking.
- `references/error-handling.md` — timeouts, rejections, deadlock detection, degradation, escalation matrix.
- `references/workflows.md` — worked examples (research+writer, code+review, sales+technical).
- `references/operations.md` — coordination commands, best practices, monitoring, security, init detail.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add onewave-ai/claude-skills/agent-to-agent@sha256:27ec1c2e4e73cc61

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260608.d82d20f, 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.
