What Agent Relay does

Agent Relay coordinates multiple Codex agents through shared messaging, handoffs, and status tracking. Use it when workers need peer-to-peer updates, ACK/BLOCKED/DONE signals, or a shared workspace.

Agent Relay is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Agent Relay comes from a repository tagged agent, agent-collaboration, agent-communication, agent-skills and agentic-ai.

README

Excerpt

Agent Relay

Use this skill when Codex needs real-time coordination across multiple agents. It gives Codex a repeatable workflow for:

connecting to an Agent Relay workspace
spawning relay-aware workers
sending direct messages, channel updates, and thread replies
keeping lead and worker state synchronized through ACK, STATUS, BLOCKED, and DONE signals

Relay fills the peer-to-peer gap in Codex sub-agent workflows. Codex can spawn and collect worker results, but Agent Relay gives those workers a shared message bus so they can talk to the lead and to each other.
