/hub:board — Message Board

Interface for the AgentHub message board. Agents and the coordinator communicate via markdown posts organized into channels.

Usage

/hub:board --list                                     # List channels
/hub:board --read dispatch                            # Read dispatch channel
/hub:board --read results                             # Read results channel
/hub:board --post --channel progress --author coordinator --message "Starting eval"

What It Does

bash
python {skill_path}/scripts/board_manager.py --list

Channels

channel: results
sequence: 1
parent: null
---

Message content here.
