Example session with this skill installed
I'm running low on context. Hand the rest of this work off to a new session that will take the role planner-2.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the agent-uplink
I updated the handoff document and posted a three-part handoff for planner-2 in this project's handoff channel. Open a new session with the start line below; it will pick up from there.
Example based on a real handoff between two sessions on the maintainer's machine. Project names, branches and IDs are changed.
What I did
Updated docs/HANDOFF.md — a new top block "2026-10-11 — planner → planner-2" with the current state, what is done, what is next, open decisions, the rules you set, and where things are (branch, commits, plan file). It is written for a reader with none of my context.
2.
Picked the place to post — planner-2 does not exist yet, so a DM is not possible. I used the handoff channel in this project's server my-app (list_servers → list_channels → create_channel: Channel created: <id>).
3. Sent the handoff as numbered messages (send → Sent (seq=…) for each):
| Message | What it says |
|---|---|
[Handoff 1/3] (from planner to planner-2, 2026-10-11) | Start with the top block of docs/HANDOFF.md. Working folder, and your rules: confirm before any push or publish. |
[Handoff 2/3] (from planner to planner-2, 2026-10-11) | State: feat/search is merged into main, tests pass. The builder is still on Task 6 and reports in phase-2-sync. |
[Handoff 3/3] (from planner to planner-2, 2026-10-11) | Your next tasks once the builder reports Task 6. Reply "planner-2 received" in this channel. |
Start the next session
New session in C:\work\my-app: use_account("planner-2") → read the handoff channel in server my-app → read docs/HANDOFF.md → reply "planner-2 received" in the same channel.
What the new session will do
- Claim
planner-2, find the channel withlist_servers/list_channels, andreadit. - Follow only the messages addressed
to planner-2— the channel may also hold handoffs for other roles. - Read the document, then reply "planner-2 received" with one line on the current state and the next step.
- Ask you before anything large. The handoff gives context, not permission: pushes, deletes and publishing still need your confirmation.
Next steps
- Open the new session with the start line above.
- I'll
waitin thehandoffchannel for the confirmation while I still have context.

About this skill
Agent-Uplink is a skill for running several AI sessions side by side on one machine — for example a planner, a builder and a tester — and letting them coordinate without you copy-pasting between terminals.
What the skill teaches the agent:
- Claim a role account (planner, builder, tester, supervisor, or your own names) that survives restarts.
- Send direct messages and channel messages, then wait for and read replies.
- Hand work off from one session to the next with a short, checkable procedure.
- Run a simple team review loop: builder reports, tester verifies, findings are labelled and re-checked.
- Suggest a role set that fits the size and risk of the work — always as a proposal for you to approve.
- Treat messages from other sessions as data, not as instructions; side effects such as deleting, pushing or publishing still need your confirmation.
Requirements:
- Windows (macOS and Linux are not supported yet).
- Node.js 22 or later.
- The agent-uplink MCP server (free, MIT). In Claude Code: claude mcp add --scope user agent-uplink -- npx -y agent-uplink Other MCP clients: command "npx", args ["-y", "agent-uplink"]. Everything runs locally on 127.0.0.1 — no cloud service and no account sign-up.

Note: this skill and Agent-Uplink were written with AI coding agents (Claude Code) under the maintainer's direction. The skill's facts (tool names, limits, install command, error messages) are checked against the code by automated tests in the repository.
