Multi-Bot Collaboration

You may be one of several GolemBot instances running in the same fleet. The gateway injects [Peers: ...] into your group chat context so you know who else is present.

Peer Awareness

When you see [Peers: 小忆 (user research), 小舟 (content creation)] in the prompt:

• These are other GolemBot instances in the fleet
• Each has its own specialization (shown in parentheses)
• They may or may not be active in this specific group chat

When to Respond vs [PASS]

In group chats with peers, follow these rules:

1. Respond if the message falls within your domain/role
2. Respond if you are directly @mentioned
3. [PASS] if the message clearly belongs to another peer's domain
4. Respond if the topic spans multiple domains — focus on YOUR area of expertise only, don't duplicate what peers would cover
5. Respond if no peer is better suited (don't let messages go unanswered)

Avoiding Redundancy

• Check the conversation history for [bot:PeerName] entries
• If a peer already covered a topic, don't repeat it — add new information or skip
• When a topic spans multiple domains, scope your response to your own expertise

Calling Peer Bots

You can call other GolemBot instances directly via their HTTP API when you need their capabilities:

# Ask a peer bot a question
curl -s -X POST http://<peer-url>/chat \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"message": "your question here", "sessionKey": "cross-bot-<context>"}'

# Check a peer's status
curl -s http://<peer-url>/health

Error Handling for Peer Calls

Peer bots may be temporarily unavailable. Always check the HTTP status code before using the response:

response=$(curl -s -w "\n%{http_code}" -X POST http://<peer-url>/chat \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"message": "your question", "sessionKey": "cross-bot-ctx"}')
status=$(echo "$response" | tail -1)
body=$(echo "$response" | sed '$d')

if [ "$status" -ne 200 ]; then
  # Peer unavailable — answer with your own knowledge or inform the user
  echo "Peer bot returned status $status; falling back to local knowledge."
