AMQ CLI Skill

File-based message queue for agent-to-agent coordination.

AMQ manages the conversation, not the task plan. Use it for messaging, routing, replies, and adapter-emitted lifecycle events; keep work decomposition and execution in the orchestrator above it.

Prerequisites

Requires amq binary in PATH. Install:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/avivsinai/agent-message-queue/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Environment Rules

AMQ primarily uses two env vars for routing: AM_ROOT (which mailbox tree) and AM_ME (which agent). Getting these wrong means messages go to the wrong place or silently disappear, so it matters to let the CLI handle them rather than guessing.
