agent-relay skillA

agent-relay is agent-read markdown (skill) from agentworkforce/relay: Use when you need Codex to coordinate multiple agents through Agent Relay for peer-to-peer messaging, lead/worker handoffs, or shared status tracking across sub-agents and terminals..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Agent Relay

Use this skill when Codex needs real-time coordination across multiple agents. It gives Codex a repeatable workflow for:

- connecting to an Agent Relay workspace
- spawning relay-aware workers
- sending direct messages, channel updates, and thread replies
- keeping lead and worker state synchronized through ACK, STATUS, BLOCKED, and DONE signals

Relay fills the peer-to-peer gap in Codex sub-agent workflows. Codex can spawn and collect worker results, but Agent Relay gives those workers a shared message bus so they can talk to the lead and to each other.

## Auto-setup

On first activation, this skill auto-configures Codex by running `scripts/setup.sh`. This adds the Agent Relay MCP server to `.codex/config.toml`, enables hooks, installs `hooks.json`, and copies the `relay-worker.toml` agent definition. No manual setup is required after installing the skill.

## Startup protocol

Every relay-connected Codex agent must complete these steps IN ORDER before substantive work:

1. **Set up a workspace.**
   - If `RELAY_WORKSPACE_KEY` is set in the environment, call `set_workspace_key` with that key.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add agentworkforce/relay/agent-relay@git:20260820.32c36b8
Exact content
mdr add agentworkforce/relay/agent-relay@sha256:6128972aeeba54d9

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
