walkie-talkie

Use when two or more agent sessions — same or different platforms (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot, Cursor) — work the same repo concurrently, hand off in-flight work, or need to interrogate each other about a handoff. Triggers: "set up comms with the other session", "hand this off to Codex/Gemini", "grill the handoff", "check the mailbox", parallel sessions clobbering shared files, resuming work another agent left half-done. Trigger with "/walkie-talkie".

From the SKILL.md

# Walkie-Talkie ## Overview An append-only file mailbox, committed to the repo, that lets agent sessions communicate across platforms, machines, and time. Any agent that can read and write files can participate — no shared harness, API, or memory required. Git is the transport; the human audits both channels. **Core invariant: one writer per file, append-only.** Each agent owns exactly one outbox

About this skill
What does the walkie-talkie skill do?

Use when two or more agent sessions — same or different platforms (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot, Cursor) — work the same repo concurrently, hand off in-flight work, or need to interrogate each other about a handoff. Triggers: "set up comms with the other session", "hand this off to Codex/Gemini", "grill the handoff", "check the mailbox", parallel sessions clobbering shared files, resuming work another agent left half-done. Trigger with "/walkie-talkie".

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill walkie-talkie --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills, a repository with 2,596 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
