+description: Coordinate multi-agent development across pi sessions using the talk extension. Explains how sessions discover and address each other, when to use talk-send vs talk-ask, and how to split work, exchange information, and review between agents. Use whenever you need to collaborate with other pi sessions or agents on the same machine.
+---
+
+# Multi-Agent Development with Talk
+
+## Concept
+
+Multi-agent development runs several independent pi sessions in parallel and coordinates them over **talk**. Every session is a complete agent workspace — its own cwd, conversation history, and context. Talk lets sessions discover each other, exchange messages, ask questions, and sync progress.
+
+The core rule: **a peer only knows what you tell it.** Messages must be self-contained — background, goal, and constraints — because the receiving session has none of your context.
+
+## Session model
+
+### Discovery and addressing
+
+- `talk-list-sessions` returns sessions as JSON — **your own session is included and marked `self: true`** (also where you learn your own id):
+
+  ```json
+  [
+    {
+      "status": "idle",
+      "work_dir": "/path/to/cwd",
+      "id": "0193a2f5-...",
+      "name": "...",
+      "self": true
+    }
+  ]
+  ```
+
+- Addressing is **by session id only**: `talk-send` / `talk-ask` take the full `id` (pi session uuid). Names, paths, and prefixes are not accepted.
+- An unknown or invisible target is refused with `Unknown session id` — always list before sending.
+
+### Status
+
+- `idle` / `working` (agent actively running) / `waiting-talk-message` (blocked in `talk-ask` waiting for a reply)
+- `not responding` (heartbeat stale, process alive but unresponsive) / `offline` (process exited or marked dead)
+- The default listing shows only sessions with a heartbeat in the last 15 minutes; pass `includeOffline: true` for everything.
+
+### Visibility
+
+- Each workspace controls what it can see via `allowed` in `<cwd>/.pi/talk.json` (path prefixes). Sessions outside the prefixes are neither listed nor addressable.
+- Visibility is one-way: you seeing a session does not mean it sees you.
+
+## Tools
+
+| Tool                 | Purpose                                                                                                                             |
+| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `talk-list-sessions` | List visible sessions (`id` / `status` / `work_dir` / `name`)                                                                       |
+| `talk-send`          | Send a plain message (async — the main collaboration primitive). `to: "*"` broadcasts, `to: "cwd"` broadcasts to the same directory |
+| `talk-ask`           | Ask a question and block for the reply (default 30 min timeout)                                                                     |
+| `talk-reply`         | Reply to a received ask; `replyTo` is the ask id shown in the delivered message                                                     |
+
+In the TUI: `/talk` lists sessions, `/talk-dead` marks a session as dead (removes it from listings and sweeps it).
+
+## Collaboration workflows
+
+### Split work between sessions
+
+1. `talk-list-sessions` first: see which sessions exist, their `work_dir`, and status.
+2. Assign work by module/files with `talk-send` — state the scope, boundaries, and expected output.
+3. Each session completes its slice, then sends the result or a review request.
+4. Sync progress periodically to avoid overlapping edits.
+
+### Synchronous question/answer (need the answer to continue)
+
+- Use `talk-ask` when the next step depends on the peer's information and the peer is reachable.
+- On receiving an ask, reply with `talk-reply` using the `replyTo` id from the delivered message.
+- If two sessions ask each other simultaneously: the later asker yields — answer the peer's ask first, then re-ask.
+
+### Async notifications
+
+- Use `talk-send` for heads-ups that do not block: send and keep working.
+- Messages deliver on the next natural turn by default (`queue`); `steer` interrupts the peer immediately — behavior depends on the `talk.deliver` setting.
+
+### Cross-session review
+
+- Ask another session to review your changes: `talk-send` the file paths plus a diff summary, request a review, and let it reply.
+- Send paths and summaries, not whole file contents — the peer can `read` them itself.
+
+## Message style
+
+- Plain text, ≤32KB. Send a summary and paths, never the full file or large code blocks.
+- Self-contained: background, goal, constraints — the peer has none of your context.
+- Make the ask explicit: "please review", "please implement", or "FYI only".
+- One topic per message so the reply stays focused.
+
+## Pitfalls
+
+- **Avoid message loops**: if the peer sent you something or is asking you, answer it before sending new ones. Two agents pinging each other deadlock.
+- **Address from known ids**: only run `talk-list-sessions` to discover sessions or verify an id. If you already hold a valid id (e.g. from an incoming message or a previous listing), send directly — an unknown or invisible id is refused with `Unknown session id`.
+- **Respect status**: asking an offline/not-responding session blocks up to 30 min. Prefer `talk-send` there — the message queues on disk and the peer receives it when it resumes.
+- **Visibility boundary**: you can only collaborate with sessions you can see; invisible sessions are unreachable by design.
