  • Cross-project routing

What it does

Amq CLI is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Coordinate coding agents through AMQ. Use for agent messages, inboxes, receipts, sessions, wake delivery, cross-project routing, managed launches, or AMQ diagnostics. Use amq-spec for collaborative design; do not use this for general message queues or single-agent work.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files (for example `references/coop-mode.md`, `references/cross-project.md` and `references/integrations.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Event-driven systems and Email management. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Cross-project routing
  • Managed launches
  • AMQ diagnostics

Example prompts

  • “/amq-cli”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 16b4156. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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

Amq CLI loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~19k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 625 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~19k

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

AMQ CLI

Use the amq CLI for all queue operations. Never edit Maildir files directly. AMQ transports coordination; the caller or orchestrator still owns task planning, worktrees, approvals, and delivery.

Start in the correct context

Inside coop exec, use the environment as provided and run bare amq commands. Do not override --me or reconstruct the root. Outside it, resolve and export the complete context before reading or sending:

bash
amq_context="$(amq env --me "<handle>" --export)" && eval "$amq_context" &&
  amq drain --include-body

For a named session, add --session <name> to amq env. Treat the evaluated context as one terminal bound to one session. Use --session or --project for deliberate routing; do not point a participating command at another queue with a raw --root.

Receive under a live wake

If session-start context says wake=live(...), or amq wake check --me <handle> --json reports live_wake: true with an injection mode other than none, the wake delivers a doorbell for you. Run amq drain --include-body when it fires, then act on the messages.

Do not run amq watch, amq monitor, sleep-poll, or start another inbox watcher under that live wake. A blocking wait holds your turn while the doorbell queues behind it. When your work is done, finish the turn; do not keep a tool running or send idle check-ins just to wait for mail.

Without an injecting wake, use the receive methods in the operations guide. A notify-only wake (--inject-mode none) paired with a supervisor monitor service is a separate supported setup.

Remote

amq-remote is a companion binary, not an amq subcommand. It attaches to a harness session that is already running. Targets are declared in <AM_ROOT>/extensions/remote/manifest.json (claude, codex, pi, or fake). up supervises the endpoint; submit, status, wait, and cancel talk to it; share mints the session body key. A manifest relay object shares a target with its owner over a Buzz relay. DM commands require the pinned native_session_id and run only while that session is attached; Desktop presence reports the attachment status and honors the pin when one is set. doctor lists each failing boundary under failing and exits 6 while any remains. Flags and exit codes are in the amq-remote reference. The design is the remote-control ADR. Pinned seams are the compatibility manifest.

Safety and delivery rules

  • A wake notification is attention, not consumption proof. Use receipts or --wait-for drained when delivery proof matters.
  • Preserve the existing thread when replying. Drain again after a doorbell; the newest complete message body is authoritative.
  • Cleanup is explicit through amq cleanup. Do not add automatic deletion.
  • Before any wake mutation, run amq wake check --me "<handle>" --json. Act only when restart_capability=agent_safe; otherwise preserve state and report the required operator action.
  • Keep cross-host payloads outside privileged inboxes until the configured bridge has authenticated and applied them. Never copy or remote-drain a foreign Maildir as a substitute for routing.
  • Do not translate native Windows injection into Unix wake or coop exec. Read the platform section in the operations guide when Windows is involved.
  • Dangerous provider bypass flags belong only on an operator-controlled direct coop exec command. Do not place them in committed launch configuration.

The full command catalog, environment precedence, setup flow, platform notes, operator gates, and examples are in the operations guide.
