Send Message to Agent

Communicate with another agent via beads task comments.

When to Use

• •Task assignments to workers
• •Completion reports to supervisor
• •Review results to architect
• •Clarification requests

For multiple recipients, use /aura:msg-broadcast.

Given/When/Then/Should

Given message when sending then add a comment on the shared beads task should never assume a messaging CLI exists

Given status update when communicating then use bd comments add or bd update --notes should never leave coordination implicit

Commands

# Add a comment to a shared task (visible to all agents watching that task)
bd comments add <task-id> "Status: implementation complete for slice A"

# Update task notes with current state
bd update <task-id> --notes="Blocked: waiting for types from slice B"

# Update task status
bd update <task-id> --status=in_progress
