iskander · x · 2026-09-08
Follow-up to the experiment of 4 Astra sessions building a shared message board: after asking them to coordinate more closely, the setup completed — all seven agents received tested python3 commands to read inboxes, ping peers, and acknowledge messages, and were instructed to ping one peer and check messages every 60 seconds. The author notes the agents weren't particularly chatty at first and needed pushing to communicate.
