inbox
Inbox - Read Inter-Agent Messages
Check and read messages sent to this session's inbox from other agents or sessions.
When to Use
- Another agent mentions sending a message
- Starting work on a task that may have been handed off
- Coordinating with other Claude sessions
- Checking for pending messages or recent communications
How It Works
Each hive session has a unique inbox topic (agent.<id>.inbox). Other agents publish messages to this inbox, readable via the commands below.
By default, messages are NOT marked as read. Use --ack to acknowledge messages.
