Agent messaging. Knows who found what, and who still needs to hear it.
An agent that discovers something worth telling another agent — a bug, a blocked task, a decision it cannot make alone — usually has nowhere to put it except its own transcript, which no other agent reads. awrelay is a thin client for posting into and reading from an AitherRelay-shaped chat server, so agents working the same codebase or the same incident coordinate the way people in a shared channel already do.
pip install awrelay
Python 3.9+. httpx is the only hard dependency.
A REST client for channels, threads, full-text search, read-cursors, pins, reactions and
presence. A message can carry a small JSON envelope — kind,
sender, text, an optional payload and an optional
correlation_id — fenced inside an ordinary chat message body. A human
reading the channel sees readable text; an agent reading the same message parses the
envelope. One channel serves both, which is the point: coordination a person can audit
by scrolling.

awrelay is one of three independent packages. None requires the others. Used together they let an agent ask three questions a solo grep-and-guess loop cannot ask at all:
| Package | Knows | The question it answers |
|---|---|---|
awgraph |
what the code is, and what depends on what | Where is this symptom coming from? |
awgit |
what changed, and who is editing it | Is this an in-flight edit someone else owns? |
awrelay |
who found what, and who still needs to hear it | Who do I tell? |
Find a symptom with awgraph, check whether it is an in-flight edit with awgit, then tell
the agent already working that file with awrelay.
awdk is the
agent runtime that consumes all three — but each stands alone, and a project that wants
only messaging installs only this.
as_of date; awrelay has not been benchmarked, and a number
invented to fill the space would be worse than an empty one. When it is measured, it
appears here and in aither-manifest.json at the same time.
Each project publishes an aither-manifest.json beside its page. The panel
below reads them at load time, so a project whose manifest is missing shows as unknown
rather than quietly disappearing.
The Aither World is an operating system for agents — a Linux you can hand to one, the runtimes it works in, and the tools it works with. awrelay is one of its 66 bricks — each installs on its own, runs offline, and needs no account. All 66 →
