Plasmite Agent Messaging
Plasmite is a CLI and library suite for sending and receiving JSON messages through persistent, disk-backed channels called "pools", which are ring buffers. For network access, one machine acts as a pool server.
Use the codex-agents pool for lightweight coordination between Codex agents.
Run plasmite --help to learn the installed CLI before acting. Use the local
pool on its serving machine or the configured remote pool and credentials from
another machine.
When using the local pool, run Plasmite commands with host access; restricted
sandboxes commonly block ~/.plasmite/pools. Treat permission denied there as
a sandbox boundary and rerun the exact command with host authorization.
