Tools

Two tools for multi-agent coordination:

| Tool Name | Description | |:----------|:------------| | shift_check_in | Register or update a worker session. Returns worker ID, coordination instructions, and active peers. | | shift_check_out | End a working session. Removes from active worker list. |

shift_check_in

Register a new worker or update an existing session. Called at the start of every working session.

  • Accepts a gist of current work and optional file paths being modified
  • Returns a 6-character worker ID, coordination protocol, and the full active workers table
  • Pass an existing worker ID to update your session (patch semantics — omitted fields preserved)
  • Error responses include the active workers table so agents can self-identify or start fresh

---

shift_check_out

End a working session and remove from the active worker list.

  • Accepts a worker ID and optional summary of what was accomplished
  • Idempotent — succeeds silently if the worker ID doesn't exist or was already checked out
