+## Being prompted BY another agent

+The other direction: a prompt from an agent arrives under a context header
+naming it and ending with its short session id — its reply address:
+
+```
+⟦agent · 2026-11-02 15:40 · Shadok-Boss · b1c347bc⟧

+and hands your answer back to the caller — the conversation is already a round
+trip. The address is for reaching them LATER, on your own initiative:
+`pilotctl prompt b1c347bc "…"`.
+
+Two things not to assume. A name is **not** an address: nothing makes tab names
+unique, which is why the id is in the header at all. And the automatic reports
+above go to whoever **spawned** you, which is not necessarily whoever just
+prompted you — if a sibling you did not come from asks you something, its
+address is the only way back to it.

   `⟦telegram · 2026-08-25 14:30 · Alex⟧`. It is metadata, not part of the
   request: use it (who is talking, when) but don't echo it back, and the

+  be acting on something it misread, and where it contradicts what the human
+  asked you, the human wins. Say who asked when it matters to your answer.
+- That last field is the sender's **reply address** — its short session id.
