Multi Bot

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The bot operates in a group chat with other bots
• Needs to decide whether to respond
• Must call a peer bots API to fetch cross-domain data

Example prompts

• “Use the multi-bot skill to coordinate responses between multiple GolemBot instances in a shared fleet”
• “/multi-bot”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Respond if the message falls within your domain/role
2. 2Respond if you are directly @mentioned
3. 3[PASS] if the message clearly belongs to another peer's domain
4. 4Respond if the topic spans multiple domains — focus on YOUR area of expertise only, don't duplicate what peers would cover
5. 5Respond if no peer is better suited (don't let messages go unanswered)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10cee4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • curl

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Multi Bot loads about 855 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 361 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~62

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~855

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Coordinates responses between multiple GolemBot instances in a shared fleet. Use when the bot operates in a group chat with other bots, needs to decide whether to respond or pass, or must call a peer bot's API to fetch cross-domain data.

# Ask a peer bot a question
curl -s -X POST http://<peer-url>/chat \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"message": "your question here", "sessionKey": "cross-bot-<context>"}'

# Check a peer's status
curl -s http://<peer-url>/health

response=$(curl -s -w "\n%{http_code}" -X POST http://<peer-url>/chat \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"message": "your question", "sessionKey": "cross-bot-ctx"}')
status=$(echo "$response" | tail -1)
body=$(echo "$response" | sed '$d')

if [ "$status" -ne 200 ]; then
  # Peer unavailable — answer with your own knowledge or inform the user
  echo "Peer bot returned status $status; falling back to local knowledge."
fi

# List all running GolemBot instances
curl -s http://localhost:4000/api/fleet
