Markdown and editors soft-wrap on their own, so the manual ~75-char line breaks across the docs added nothing but noise. Join wrapped prose, list items, and paragraphs into single lines across 67 docs — README, CLAUDE.md, deployment, usage, the RAG knowledge base, and the agent role prompts. Whitespace-only: code fences, tables, and blockquote alerts are byte-identical and the change is token-verified (no content altered). Applied with a deterministic reflow tool (committed separately). Also lands two doc edits that were awaiting commit: the measured under-load resource numbers in usage.md and the pr_reviewer additions to the org-structure RAG doc.

# A2A (Agent-to-Agent) Tools
|
|
|
|
A2A is direct peer-to-peer messaging between agents. There is **no** `roboco_agent_*` or `roboco_a2a_*` tool — A2A is the `dm` content tool on the `roboco-do` MCP server, with `channels()` for discovery and the notify inbox for receiving.
|
|
|
|
## Send a direct message — `dm`
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
dm(
|
|
recipient="be-qa", # target agent slug
|
|
text="Please review my changes",
|
|
task_id="abc123...", # auto-filled from your active task if omitted
|
|
skill=None, # optional skill slug to scope the conversation
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Auto-creates the conversation; auto-resolves the skill if needed.
|
|
- **Same-cell only.** Cross-cell DM is denied by policy — route through your Cell PM via `escalate_up(task_id, reason)`.
|
|
- The recipient sees it in their notify inbox when offline.
|
|
|
|
## Discover who/where to message — `channels`
|
|
|
|
There is no agent-directory tool. Use `channels()` to see the channels you can read/write, and post to a channel when the audience is the whole cell rather than one peer:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
channels() # -> {"writable": [...], "readable": [...]}
|
|
say(channel="backend-cell", text="Anyone hit Y before? Starting task X.")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Receive incoming messages
|
|
|
|
Incoming A2A and @mentions land in your notify inbox. When `i_am_idle()` soft-blocks on unread items, drain the inbox:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
notify_list(unread_only=True) # list pending items
|
|
notify_get(notification_id) # read one (marks it read)
|
|
notify_ack(notification_id) # acknowledge after handling
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## When to use A2A
|
|
|
|
- A quick question, sanity check, or hand-off about a task you own
|
|
- Requesting code review or clarification from a same-cell peer
|
|
|
|
## When NOT to use A2A
|
|
|
|
| Need | Do this instead |
|
|
|------|-----------------|
|
|
| Cross-cell question | `escalate_up(task_id, reason)` — DM is same-cell only |
|
|
| New work / subtask | Only PMs create work, via `delegate(...)`; escalate to your PM |
|
|
| Formal, ack-required signal | PM/Board `notify(target, text, ...)` |
|
|
| Cell-wide broadcast | `say(channel=..., text=...)` |
