Relay

I’m developing a durable local coordination tool for coding agents. It records resource ownership, ties work to exact Git commits and keeps handoffs pending until they are acknowledged.

Make coordination explicit.

When coding agents share work, useful context includes more than the next instruction. Someone needs to know who owns a resource, which revision a result refers to and whether the next participant has accepted a handoff.

I’m developing Relay to keep that coordination in a durable local record. The aim is to make ownership and the next action inspectable across sessions.

Point to the work that actually exists.

Relay records resource ownership and associates work with an exact Git commit. A commit gives a handoff a specific revision to refer to, so the next participant can identify the work being discussed.

A handoff remains pending until it is acknowledged. Sending work onward and having it accepted are separate events, and the record preserves that distinction.

A tool still taking shape.

The project includes a standalone development preview and an installed-command-line demonstration. These are artifacts of the current implementation, with more integration and release work still in progress.

Relay is a provisional name. I’m documenting the coordination model and development work here as they take shape.
