About this plugin
DSH's built-in send_message and list_agents are strictly hierarchical: a parent can only message its own background subagents, and two sessions running in parallel on the same machine are invisible to each other. Multi-repo workflows, a coordinator fanning out work to several workers, a background job pinging a foreground session—all of these need a horizontal-messaging primitive that does not exist out of the box.
dsh-crosstalk publishes a heartbeat file per live session under a local registry (files plus atomic rename, no daemon). Any session can discover its peers via the peers scope of list_agents and address them by name with send_message. The message arrives as a clearly labeled turn: an idle target wakes immediately, a busy target picks it up at the next turn boundary. Writes use temp-file-plus-rename so a crash never exposes a partial message. v0.1 is same-machine and same-user only; no network transport.
Built for developers running multi-repo workflows, coordinators that broadcast to several worker sessions, or human-in-the-loop peers that need to talk to automated sessions. Install the bundle in both terminals, keep the same tool names, and gain a peers scope—that is the whole change.
Use Cases
- A coordinator session broadcasts task instructions to worker sessions across multiple repos
- A background automation job proactively notifies a foreground dev session
- A human-in-the-loop review session exchanges messages in real time with an automated peer session
Best For
- Developers running multi-repo parallel workflows
- Automation engineers who need coordinator broadcasting or multi-agent coordination
- Terminal users wanting horizontal messaging between local DSH sessions
