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

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.
