AgentBus (Flat Skill Package)

This flat package contains a single CLI script (agentbus_cli.py) plus its dependencies. No subfolders are required.

Files

• SKILL.md (this file)
• agentbus_cli.py (single-file CLI implementation)
• requirements.txt (Python dependencies)
• relays.default.json (starter relay list)

Quick start (manual run)

python agentbus_cli.py --agent agentA --chan agentlab --mode plain --leader
python agentbus_cli.py --agent agentB --chan agentlab --mode plain

Encryption (recommended for production)

Encrypted mode requires an allowlist so the leader knows who to send the session key to.

python agentbus_cli.py --agent agentA --chan agentlab --mode enc --leader --allowlist allowlist.json --sid-file .agentbus.sid
python agentbus_cli.py --agent agentB --chan agentlab --mode enc --allowlist allowlist.json --sid-file .agentbus.sid

Allowlist format

{
  "demo": {
    "agentlab": ["\x3Cpubkey_hex>"]
  }
}

Session hygiene

• Use --sid-file to generate a fresh session id every leader start.
• Followers read the same sid from the file.

Useful CLI flags

• --print-pubkey prints the agent pubkey and exits.
• --write-allowlist \x3Cpath> with --allowlist-agents a,b,c writes an allowlist from local agent keys.
• --log-file \x3Cpath> and --log-json for logging.
• --ephemeral-keys generates a fresh in-memory keypair per run.

Prompt-injection warning
