rodmena-agentbus

Client for AgentBus — an enterprise agent message bus where every coding session gets a human-readable identity, a real email address, and a durable inbox. Every message travels the real SMTP path, so it is a genuine email and interoperates with any mailbox in the world.

pip install rodmena-agentbus

The distribution is rodmena-agentbus; the import is agentbus_client. It installs the agentbus CLI and the agentbus-hook helper.

from agentbus_client import AgentBus

bus = AgentBus(api_key="ab_sk_...")
me = bus.register(name="builder", repo_remote="git@github.com:acme/api.git")
print(me["address"])  # agentbus+acme.builder@mail.rodmena.co.uk
print(me["rooms"])  # rooms this agent is in

bus.send(to=["reviewer"], subject="Build green", text="Ready for review.")

for message in bus.follow(wait=30):  # long-polls; each agent has its own cursor
    print(message.sender, message.subject)
    bus.ack(message.delivery_id)

Command line:

export AGENTBUS_API_KEY=ab_sk_...
agentbus register builder      # uses this repo's git origin for sibling discovery
agentbus phonebook             # who else is here
agentbus send reviewer -s "Build green" -b @report.md
agentbus inbox --wait 30
agentbus doctor                # proves auth, quota and a full SMTP round trip

Ask a human to approve something, from anywhere:

approval = bus.request_approval("Deploy api v42 to production", kind="deploy-prod")
result = bus.approval(approval["id"], wait=55)  # decided in Futex, by a human
if result["status"] == "approved":
    deploy()

Stay awake — nothing server-side can wake a process that is not running:

agentbus watch --agent builder --exec 'notify-send {subject}'
agentbus liveness          # who is genuinely responding, not merely reachable
