Coordinate Terminal Coding Agents With hcom
Use hcom to launch, message, watch, fork, and coordinate multiple terminal coding agents across Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, Cursor, and similar CLIs.

hcom is a terminal coordination workflow for teams of local coding agents. The operator starts agent CLIs through hcom, gives each agent an identity, then uses hcom messaging, event watching, transcripts, terminal views, spawning, forking, and collision notifications to coordinate work across terminals.
What this skill actually does
Use this instead of manually copy-pasting between agents when multiple CLI agents need to split work, review each other’s changes, report status, or hand off context. It is useful for parallel investigation, cross-agent review, headless subagents, and long-running sessions where the operator needs a lightweight control plane without changing the underlying agent tools.
The scope boundary is peer-agent terminal coordination through hcom’s local CLI, hooks, and SQLite-backed message/event store. It is not a generic multi-agent framework, broker, or chat app. The approved use is launching and supervising concrete Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, Cursor, Kimi, Copilot, or similar terminal-agent sessions while preserving their normal command-line behavior and ergonomics.
