SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enables reliable coordination between distributed agents by sending and receiving structured signals over ATProtocol to synchronize announcements, collaboration requests, handoffs, and acknowledgments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Signal types: broadcast, capability_announcement, collaboration_request, handoff, and ack to coordinate cross-agent workflows.
  • Tooling: provides a coordination utility (tools/coordination.py) to send signals, list signals, query by agent, and acknowledge receipt.
  • Use Case: Teams running multi-agent collaborations can broadcast essential updates or hand off context to another agent to continue processing.

Quick Start

Broadcast a network-wide capability update to all connected agents.

What types of coordination signals can I send between agents?▼

You can send five coordination signal types: broadcast, capability_announcement, collaboration_request, handoff, and ack to manage cross-agent workflows and acknowledgments.

How do I broadcast a capability update to connected agents?▼

Use the provided coordination tooling to send a capability_announcement signal, broadcasting your agent's updated capabilities network-wide to all connected ATProtocol agents.

Can I query coordination signals by specific agent?▼

Yes, the coordination utility allows you to list signals, query by agent, send new signals, and acknowledge receipt to track distributed cognition workflows effectively.

Do I need specific dependencies to use ATProtocol agent coordination?▼

No external dependencies are required to use this ATProtocol agent coordination skill, as it operates independently using the network.comind.signal schema and built-in tooling.
