Broadcast Message to Multiple Agents

Communicate a status change to all agents working on related tasks.

When to Use

•State change announcements (e.g., layer complete, ready for review)
•Notifying all workers of a blocking issue
•Notifying all reviewers that a proposal is ready

For single recipient, use /aura:msg-send.

Given/When/Then/Should

Given broadcast needed when communicating then add comments to each relevant task should never assume a messaging CLI exists

Given state change when announcing then update beads task status and add comment should never leave agents unaware of state transitions

Commands

bash

# Add comments to multiple tasks
bd comments add <task-id-1> "Layer 1 complete — Layer 2 tasks are unblocked"
bd comments add <task-id-2> "Layer 1 complete — Layer 2 tasks are unblocked"
bd comments add <task-id-3> "Layer 1 complete — Layer 2 tasks are unblocked"

# Or update status on multiple tasks
bd update <task-id-1> --status=in_progress
bd update <task-id-2> --status=in_progress

Example

bash

# Announce that review is ready (comment on each reviewer's task)
bd comments add <review-1-id> "Proposal ready for review: bd show <proposal-id>"
bd comments add <review-2-id> "Proposal ready for review: bd show <proposal-id>"
bd comments add <review-3-id> "Proposal ready for review: bd show <proposal-id>"
