Agent Chat Agent Skill

Local peer-to-peer chat and remote control between Claude Code AND OpenAI Codex sessions running concurrently on the same machine (cross-CLI: setup-codex wires Codex 0.145+ hooks), with mIRC-style rooms: register under a name, broadcast to your project room or other rooms, DM other agents, get unread messages auto-delivered by hooks, wake idle peers (nudge), watch their terminals (screen), drive them with keys (escape/enter/...), and spawn brand-new agents into fresh iTerm windows or tmux sessions. Use when: (1) the user asks to message, notify, coordinate with, watch, stop, or control another running agent/session, (2) joining the agent chat ('register as summarizer'), (3) announcing schema/format changes or claiming work areas between parallel agents, (4) checking/reading agent chat messages or browsing rooms, (5) spinning up a new worker agent in a new window or headless tmux session, (6) rebinding an agent identity after a session fork/strip/restart, (7) installing agent-chat on a new machine. Triggers on agent chat, message the other agent, tell the other session, coordinate agents, nudge an agent, spawn an agent, register on chat, chat rooms. Backends: iTerm2 (macOS) and tmux (works headless, e.g. Linux servers).

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take vicnaum/agent-chat from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
