How do agents check for new instructions from other agents?

Agents can use 'atcha messages check' for an inbox summary or 'atcha messages' to list unread communications.

Can I broadcast a message to all agents at once?

Yes, the 'atcha send --broadcast' command allows an agent to instantly communicate with every other agent in the current workspace.

Atcha is a local, file-based messaging protocol that allows multiple AI agents running in parallel to communicate, share status, and coordinate tasks.

How are individual agents identified in Atcha?

Each agent is assigned a unique identity and address determined by the $ATCHA_TOKEN environment variable.

Does Atcha require external APIs or cloud services?

No, Atcha is 100% local and file-based, ensuring that agent communications remain private and do not rely on external connectivity.

Collaboration Tools

Enables real-time communication and coordination between multiple AI agents working in parallel.

Atcha is a specialized communication layer designed for multi-agent workflows, allowing AI users to send and receive messages within a local, file-based environment. It facilitates complex parallel processing by providing a framework for agents to share status updates, broadcast messages, and coordinate tasks without relying on external servers. By assigning unique identities via tokens, Atcha turns isolated agent instances into a collaborative team, making it essential for large-scale development projects where synchronization and error recovery are paramount.
