two-agent-chat

two-agent-chat is a skill for Claude Code from ag2ai/ag2-claude-plugins. It costs 38 tokens per session (498 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A simple setup for two AI agents to take turns discussing a question or task. Each agent has a defined role, and the conversation can end with a summary.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for iterative refinement, questions and answers, debates, or any task where two distinct roles should alternate for a chosen number of turns.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to compare viewpoints, refine an answer, or work through a problem through back-and-forth discussion.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

two-agent-chat scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are creating an AG2 two-agent chat -- the simplest multi-agent pattern.

Instructions

  1. Ask the user for:

    • What each agent's role is
    • How many turns of conversation (default: 2-4)
    • Whether to summarize the result
  2. Create the two-agent chat following this pattern:

Two-Agent Chat Pattern

import asyncio
from autogen import ConversableAgent, LLMConfig

llm_config = LLMConfig({"api_type": "anthropic", "model": "claude-sonnet-4-6"})

agent_a = ConversableAgent(
    name="agent_a",
    system_message="Your role and behavior instructions.",
    llm_config=llm_config,
)

agent_b = ConversableAgent(
    name="agent_b",
    system_message="Your role and behavior instructions.",
    llm_config=llm_config,
)


async def main():
    response = await agent_a.a_run(
        agent_b,
        message="Your task or question here",
        max_turns=2,
        summary_method="reflection_with_llm",
    )
    await response.process()
    print(await response.summary)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Key Rules

  • Use a_run (async) with .process() then .summary -- NOT initiate_chat
  • max_turns controls conversation rounds (each turn = both agents speak)
  • summary_method="reflection_with_llm" generates a summary; use "last_msg" for the raw last message
  • Use LLMConfig({...}) -- NOT a raw dict like {"model": "..."}
  • You can use different models per agent (e.g., fast model for one, capable for the other)

Common Patterns

  • Creator + Reviewer: Draft content, get feedback, revise
  • Student + Teacher: Ask questions, get explanations
  • Interviewer + Expert: Deep-dive into a topic
  • Debater A + Debater B: Explore both sides of an argument

Example

See examples/student_teacher.py for a student-teacher Q&A conversation.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

two-agent-chat is a skill published in the GitHub repository ag2ai/ag2-claude-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 498 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
