hcom
A local message bus and event log that enables AI agents to communicate, observe, and spawn each other across terminals.
What is hcom?
hcom is a command-line tool that enables AI agents to communicate and collaborate across terminals. It acts as a local message bus and event log, allowing agents like Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, and OpenCode to send messages, observe each other's activities, and spawn new instances. It solves the problem of isolated AI tool sessions by facilitating multi-agent workflows and coordination.
Developers and researchers working with multiple AI coding assistants who need to orchestrate collaborative tasks, automate workflows, or enable cross-agent communication in terminal environments.
Developers choose hcom for its seamless integration with popular AI CLI tools via automatic hooks, its lightweight local-first architecture, and its rich feature set for scripting multi-agent interactions without requiring complex infrastructure.
