What is the Message Bus skill used for?

It provides a standardized protocol for multiple AI agents to communicate and coordinate tasks using a file-based queue system directly within your repository.

What are 'Board of Directors' messages?

These are specialized message types used for a multi-agent review process, allowing different agent personas to post assessments, engage in discussion, and cast formal votes on proposed changes.

Does this skill require an external database or server?

No, the Message Bus is entirely file-based, using local JSONL logs and signal files, making it lightweight and easy to inspect using standard file tools.

How does it prevent file conflicts during parallel execution?

It implements an atomic file locking protocol where agents must acquire a lock in the bus directory before modifying specific files, preventing simultaneous edits and race conditions.

Can it detect if agents are stuck in a loop?

Yes, the skill includes built-in deadlock detection that monitors the 'wait-for' graph of blocked workers to identify and report circular dependencies.

Herramientas de Colaboración

Enables multi-agent orchestration through a file-based message queue for parallel execution and shared state management.

The Message Bus skill provides a robust communication protocol for multi-agent systems within Claude Code, facilitating seamless coordination between workers and 'Board of Directors' agents. It implements essential distributed system patterns such as file-based message logging, worker heartbeats, atomic file locking, and multi-phase deliberation workflows including assessment, discussion, and voting. This infrastructure is critical for developers building complex, parallelized AI workflows where multiple agents must synchronize state, avoid file conflicts, and reach consensus on code quality or architectural decisions without a centralized database.
