agent-messaging
The agent-messaging skill enables AI agents to send and receive cryptographically signed messages locally using the Agent Messaging Protocol (AMP). Use this skill when tasks involve inter-agent communication, such as sending messages between agents, checking inboxes, reading specific messages, or replying to agent communications. The system supports local messaging by default with optional external delivery through registered providers.

# Agent Messaging Protocol (AMP) Send and receive cryptographically signed messages between AI agents. AMP works **locally by default** -- no external dependencies needed for basic messaging. Part of the [AI Maestro](https://github.com/23blocks-OS/ai-maestro) suite. ## Prerequisites Install the AMP CLI scripts: ```bash # From the AI Maestro plugin git clone https://github.com/23blocks-OS/ai-maestro-plugins.git cd ai-maestro-plugins && ./install-messaging.sh -y ``` Scripts install to `~/.local/bin/` (ensure it's in your PATH). ## Quick Start ### 1. Initialize identity (first time) ```bash amp-init --auto ``` ### 2. Send a message ```bash amp-send alice "Hello" "How are you?" ``` ### 3. Check inbox ```bash amp-inbox ``` ### 4. Read a message ```bash amp-read <message-id> ``` ### 5. Reply ```bash amp-reply <message-id> "Got it, working on it now" ``` ## Address Formats | Format | Example | Delivery | |--------|---------|----------| | Local name | `alice` | Same machine | | Local qualified | `alice@myorg.aimaestro.local` | Within mesh | | External | `alice@acme.crabmail.ai` | Via provider (requires registration) | ## Core Commands | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `amp-init --auto` | Create agent identity | | `amp-send <to> <subject> <body>` | Send a message | | `amp-inbox` | Check inbox (add `--all` for read messages) | | `amp-read <id>` | Read a specific message | | `amp-reply <id> <body>` | Reply to a message | | `amp-delete <id>` | Delete a message | | `amp-status` | Show identity and registrations | | `amp-identity` | Show current identity | ## Message Options ```bash # Set priority amp-send alice "Deploy" "Ready for prod" --priority urgent # Set type amp-send alice "Review PR #42" "Please review" --type request # Attach files amp-send alice "Report" "See attached" --attach report.pdf ``` ## Message Types and Priorities | Type | Use Case | | Priority | When | |------|----------|-|----------|------| | `notification` | General info (default) | | `normal` | Standard (default) | | `request` | Asking for something | | `urgent` | Immediate attention | | `task` | Assigned work | | `high` | Respond soon | | `handoff` | Transferring context | | `low` | When convenient | | `status` | Progress update | | | | ## Security - **Ed25519 signatures** on every message - **Private keys stay local** -- never sent to providers - **Per-agent identity** -- each agent has unique keypair ## Full AI Maestro Experience This skill provides basic AMP messaging. For the complete experience including **federation with external providers**, **push notifications**, **attachment scanning**, and **5 more skills** (memory search, docs search, graph query, planning, agent management), install the full [AI Maestro](https://github.com/23blocks-OS/ai-maestro) platform.

Use this agent when creating specialized Claude Code agents for the claude-code-templates components system. Specializes in agent design, prompt engineering, domain expertise modeling, and agent best practices. Examples: <example>Context: User wants to create a new specialized agent. user: 'I need to create an agent that specializes in React performance optimization' assistant: 'I'll use the agent-expert agent to create a comprehensive React performance agent with proper domain expertise and practical examples' <commentary>Since the user needs to create a specialized agent, use the agent-expert agent for proper agent structure and implementation.</commentary></example> <example>Context: User needs help with agent prompt design. user: 'How do I create an agent that can handle both frontend and backend security?' assistant: 'Let me use the agent-expert agent to design a full-stack security agent with proper domain boundaries and expertise areas' <commentary>The user needs agent development help, so use the agent-expert agent.</commentary></example>
Use this agent to create blog articles for aitmpl.com from Claude Code Templates components. Reads the component, asks the user to confirm details, generates SVG cover, HTML article, and updates blog-articles.json. Examples: <example>Context: User wants a blog for a component. user: 'Create a blog article for cli-tool/components/hooks/security/secret-scanner.json' assistant: 'I'll use the blog-writer agent to create the full blog article with cover image and proper structure' <commentary>The user wants a blog article from a component, use blog-writer for the full pipeline.</commentary></example>
Runs pre-deploy build checks on the dashboard. Validates Astro build, checks for common esbuild/JSX issues, verifies API endpoints compile, and reports errors with fixes. Use before merging PRs that touch dashboard/.
Regenerates the component catalog (docs/components.json) by running the Python script. Use this agent when components have been added, modified, or deleted to update the catalog. Handles the full regeneration process including download statistics fetching from Supabase.
CLI interface design specialist. Use PROACTIVELY to create terminal-inspired user interfaces with modern web technologies. Expert in CLI aesthetics, terminal themes, and command-line UX patterns.
Use this agent when creating CLI commands for the claude-code-templates components system. Specializes in command design, argument parsing, task automation, and best practices for CLI development. Examples: <example>Context: User wants to create a new CLI command. user: 'I need to create a command that optimizes images in a project' assistant: 'I'll use the command-expert agent to create a comprehensive image optimization command with proper argument handling and batch processing' <commentary>Since the user needs to create a CLI command, use the command-expert agent for proper command structure and implementation.</commentary></example> <example>Context: User needs help with command argument parsing. user: 'How do I create a command that accepts multiple file patterns?' assistant: 'Let me use the command-expert agent to design a flexible command with proper glob pattern support and validation' <commentary>The user needs CLI command development help, so use the command-expert agent.</commentary></example>
Applies researched improvements to Claude Code components, validates changes with the component-reviewer agent, and creates pull requests. The only agent that modifies files and creates PRs.
Migrates components (agents, commands, skills, hooks, settings, MCPs) from external GitHub repositories to claude-code-templates, validates them with component-reviewer, and regenerates the catalog
