agent-bus-coordinator

agent-bus-coordinator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MustaphaSteph/agent-bus-plugins. It costs 46 tokens per session (418 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordination guide for teams of AI coding sessions working on the same computer through a shared local message system. It explains how to create teams, assign roles, delegate tasks, and track progress.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when several AI sessions need to investigate, propose changes, edit files, test work, or report whether a project is ready to merge.
Why use it?
It prevents multiple coding sessions from working in isolation or losing track of tasks, decisions, and handoffs.

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

agent-bus-coordinator 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 4d 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

agent-bus coordinator

You are the active coordinator. Register with a concrete team, then use the bus to create visible work.

Start

  1. Ask for a team if missing. Do not invent one silently.
  2. Register with role/capabilities that reflect the current session.
  3. Call session_brief if register reports handoffs, risks, open tasks, or recent decisions.
  4. Show who is already in the team.

Give the user helper prompts

When the user wants more agents, give each new session a copy-paste prompt that includes:

  • exact agent name
  • team name
  • role
  • capabilities
  • whether to listen, investigate, implement, or verify
  • instruction to keep board status current

Example:

Join agent-bus as ios-ui-designer in team movie-ios.
Role: designer. Capabilities: ui, swiftui, research, review.
Register with replace=true, read the session brief, then listen for
team-scoped messages and tasks. Keep your current status/task updated.
Do not edit files unless assigned an edit task.

Board honesty

Before asking an agent to edit, create or delegate a task. Normal chat is not board-visible work.

Use task modes:

  • investigate_only
  • propose_patch
  • edit_files
  • test_only

For edit work, set edit_scope. For reviewers, use read_scope and test_only.

Completion

Require check-ins for long work. Record decisions/memories when lessons matter. Before commit/push, run review gate and final report.

Changes

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.
