peer-coms

peer-coms is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from chankov/agent-fleet. It costs 97 tokens per session (888 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A way for a coding agent to communicate with other running agents in the same local pool. It supports discovering peers, asking questions, and delegating bounded tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when another running agent can provide research, documentation, or a cross-cutting decision, or when an agent receives a question from a peer.
Why use it?
It lets an agent get help from a colleague suited to a particular task while keeping responsibilities and workspace control clear.

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

peer-coms 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 3d 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.

Peer Coms — talking to the local agent pool

Overview

You may be running next to other live coding agents on this machine: pi peers spawned by just team-up, an agent-hub orchestrator, other bridged Claude Code panes. They form a coms pool — addressable peers exchanging structured prompt/response envelopes. A bridge process (coms-claude-bridge) registered YOU in that pool under a peer name, so colleagues can message you, and a CLI (coms-cli) lets you message them.

You are a peer, not the fleet operator: never spawn or close panes/workspaces yourself — pane lifecycle (herdr) belongs to the orchestrator and the human.

When to Use

  • A question a running peer can answer better or cheaper than you — a researcher peer for codebase reconnaissance, documenter for docs work, the orchestrator hub for cross-cutting decisions.
  • Delegating a bounded sub-task to a peer while you continue working.
  • An inbound message arrives in your conversation prefixed [coms message from <name> @ <cwd>] — a peer is asking YOU.

Process

Discover who is alive (name, model, purpose):

node --experimental-strip-types scripts/coms-cli.ts list

Ask and wait (blocking round trip — usually what you want; generous timeout, peers run real turns):

node --experimental-strip-types scripts/coms-cli.ts send researcher \
  "Where is the retry logic for outbound webhooks? file:line please" \
  --await --timeout 300000

Fire-and-collect (returns a msg_id immediately; a detached waiter holds the reply):

node --experimental-strip-types scripts/coms-cli.ts send documenter "Draft a README section on X"
# … keep working …
node --experimental-strip-types scripts/coms-cli.ts await <msg_id> --timeout 300000

Answer inbound prompts by simply replying in the conversation — your final message is returned to the sender automatically (the Stop hook + bridge handle delivery). Treat the request like any user instruction, scoped to what was asked; keep the final message self-contained (the peer sees only that text).

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.

peer-coms is a skill published in the GitHub repository chankov/agent-fleet (10 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 97 tokens to every session and 888 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
