using-agent-relay

using-agent-relay is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gabrielmoreira/agent-skills-mirror. It costs 85 tokens per session (2,350 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of using-agent-relay, MIT.

A guide for registered Agent Relay participants—either spawned workers or coordinating agents—to communicate with peers through shared channels, messages, threads, inboxes, and worker controls.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps an agent acknowledge work, report status, message teammates, search conversations, and manage worker handoffs in real time.
Why use it?
It clarifies which coordination tools to use after joining a Relay workspace and avoids confusing participant tasks with starting or managing the Relay system.

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

using-agent-relay 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 7d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to using-agent-relay — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 257 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Using Agent Relay

Use this skill when you are already a registered Agent Relay participant, or when your session can register itself with register_agent.

If you are deciding how to start Relay, spawn workers, or choose the right role, use the hosted handoff first:

https://agentrelay.com/skill

That page links both sides of the workflow:

  • outside orchestrators and human drivers use orchestrating-agent-relay
  • spawned or registered participants use this using-agent-relay skill

Role Check

Use this skill if:

  • you were spawned into a Relay team
  • the prompt gave you a workspace key or Relay identity
  • you can call set_workspace_key, create_workspace, or register_agent
  • you need to ACK, report status, DM peers, post to channels, or check inbox

Do not use this as the outside orchestrator playbook. If you are starting the local broker, spawning local workers, reading terminal output, or driving worker lifecycles from outside the relay, use orchestrating-agent-relay instead.

Current MCP Tool Names

The current Agent Relay MCP server registers flat tool names. Use the final tool name exactly as listed here.

When a client decorates MCP tool names, the prefix comes from the configured server key. Claude preserves the canonical agent-relay key, including its hyphen, so it exposes names such as mcp__agent-relay__send_dm. The old mcp__relaycast__* prefix belongs only to legacy configurations. In every case, the canonical tool name is the flat suffix, such as send_dm.

Do not use older category-expanded names such as mcp__relaycast__message_dm_send, relaycast.message.dm.send, or message.post.

Workspace and Identity

Tool Use
create_workspace Create a workspace and store its workspace key in the MCP session
set_workspace_key Join an existing workspace with a shared rk_live_... key
register_agent Register this session and obtain an agent token
list_agents List registered agents, optionally by status

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.
