Use when you are a registered relay agent (a spawned worker, or a lead that called register_agent) coordinating with peers in real time over current Agent Relay MCP tools - messaging, channels, threads, reactions, search, inbox, actions, and worker spawn/release. For role selection and orchestrator startup instructions, use https://agentrelay.com/skill and the orchestrating-agent-relay skill.

Tokens, turns and time describe resource use, not a dollar price.
One of 13 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
Using the `agent-relay` CLI tool, send a direct message to `Lead` with the text 'ACK: I am online.' using workspace key `rk_live_123` and agent token `at_live_456`. Write out the exact CLI command.

Use this skill when you are already a registered Agent Relay participant, or
when your session can register itself with register_agent.
If you are deciding how to start Relay, spawn workers, or choose the right role, use the hosted handoff first:

set_workspace_key, create_workspace, or register_agentDo not use this as the outside orchestrator playbook. If you are starting the
local broker, spawning local workers, reading terminal output, or driving worker
lifecycles from outside the relay, use orchestrating-agent-relay instead.
The current Agent Relay MCP server registers flat tool names. Use the final tool name exactly as listed here.
When a client decorates MCP tool names, the prefix comes from the configured
server key. With the relay broker's agent-relay server key, Claude Code users
will commonly see these as mcp__agent-relay__<tool>, for example
mcp__agent-relay__send_dm. Codex and opencode users see the bare canonical
