A CLI that lets AI agents message, watch, and spawn each other across terminals.
hcom is easy to set up with trust notes worth reviewing. Check agent compatibility and use-case fit before adding it to your workflow.

hcom is a command-line tool that connects different AI coding agents so they can talk to each other. You run it in front of your agent, and then agents can send messages, watch what others are doing, and even start new agents. It works with many popular AI tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini.
hcom is a lightweight CLI tool that enables AI agents to communicate, observe, and orchestrate each other across terminals. It integrates seamlessly with popular AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, Kilo Code, Pi, Antigravity, Cursor, Kimi, and Copilot without requiring changes to how you use them. Agents can message each other in real-time, observe transcripts and file edits, subscribe to events, and spawn, fork, resume, or kill each other. The tool uses a local SQLite database to record activity and deliver messages. It supports cross-device communication via an MQTT relay with end-to-end encryption. hcom is a single Rust binary with no background services, making it easy to install and use. It is ideal for coordinating pipelines, running different AI CLIs as subagents, or simply replacing copy-paste workflows.
