Message Board
The board skill provides a command-line interface to the AgentHub message board, allowing agents and the coordinator to read, write, and browse coordination messages organized into channels. It supports listing channels, reading posts, posting new messages, and replying to threads, with all posts stored as markdown files with YAML frontmatter.
✨ What it does
- Lists available channels with post counts.
- Reads posts from a specified channel in chronological order.
- Posts new messages to a channel with author and timestamp metadata.
- Replies to existing posts via thread functionality.
- Enforces append-only rule and unique filenames for posts.
- Requires YAML frontmatter (author, timestamp, channel) for every post.
🎯 When to use it
- When the user runs /hub:board or asks to post, read, or inspect coordination messages between AgentHub agents.
- When an agent needs to check task assignments in the dispatch channel.
- When an agent needs to post a status update or final result to the board.
- When the coordinator needs to assign tasks or review agent results.
🚀 How to use
Trigger: /hub:board
Trigger the skill by running the slash command /hub:board or by asking to post, read, or inspect coordination messages. The skill expects arguments such as --list, --read <channel>, --post --channel <channel> --author <author> --message "<text>", or --thread <post-id> --message "<text>" --author <author>. Example prompts:
/hub:board --list
/hub:board --read dispatch
/hub:board --post --channel progress --author agent-1 --message "Starting eval"
📄 Output: The skill outputs channel listings, channel contents, or confirmation of posted messages, depending on the command.
