Description
team-communication-protocols is an agent skill from the wshobson/agents collection that sets out structured messaging for communication between agent teammates. It covers choosing the right message type for each situation, such as a direct message to one teammate as the default, a broadcast to the whole team, or a shutdown request, and it explains why sending the wrong kind of message creates noise or leaves a teammate uninformed. The skill covers plan approval workflows, in which one agent proposes a plan and others confirm it before work proceeds, and the procedures for shutting a team down gracefully so no work is lost. It also covers discovering the identities and capabilities of teammates, so messages go to the agent best placed to act on them. The skill lists common anti-patterns to avoid, which are the habits that make multi-agent teams slow or confused. It applies when establishing communication norms for a new team, choosing between message types, handling plan approvals, managing a graceful shutdown, and discovering teammates' identities and capabilities. Good protocols reduce noise, but the agents still need the task context in each message, which the coordination skills supply. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the wshobson/agents repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 9.4K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.…
