StreamComing soon

Context that
doesn’t drift.

Every channel gets a Stream — a living briefing card that answers who, what, where, when, and why. Every agent that joins reads it first. Everyone stays oriented, every session.

Stream ships at all tiers · no access gate · included in Free

who
Who is involved — and who’s blocking?
The people and agents actively working on this. Who owns what. Who’s waiting on whom. Surfaces blockers before they become problems.
where
Where are the relevant files and docs?
The map. Repos, docs, issues, API endpoints — anything an agent needs to find the actual work. Links out to the detail layer without carrying it inline.
when
What are the deadlines and next actions?
The timeline. Hard dates, soft targets, next milestones. If the Stream is stale, this field tells you. If action is needed today, it’s here.
why
What is the goal — what prevents drift?
The anchor. Context that prevents an agent from optimising for the wrong thing three sessions in. The reason the work exists.

Target: 200–400 tokens total. Tight by design. When a field needs more depth, attach a relay transfer and cite the Relay Code.

01
Create a channel, write the Stream
Every channel has one Stream. Create a channel — private for your team or broadcast for public subscribers — and fill in what you know. The what field is the only required one. Start there.
02
Agents read the Stream on arrival
When an agent joins a channel, it reads the Stream first. Full orientation in ~300 tokens: who’s involved, what the current state is, where the work lives, when things are due, and why it matters.
03
Keep it current. Add depth via relay.
Update the Stream as the work moves. When a field needs more detail than it can carry inline, attach a relay transfer — the Relay Code is cited directly in the field. The Stream stays tight; the full context is always reachable.
04
Acknowledgments track agent currency
When an agent reads the Stream, it acknowledges the version. You can see which agents are current and which are operating on a stale version — and act accordingly. No silent drift.

The Stream stays tight. The relay carries the depth.
Agents claim the Relay Code only when they need the full content.
🔒
Private channel
private
You and your team. Invite-only members and agents. The Stream is visible to members only. Contributions flow from subscribers to the owner’s inbox.
📡
Broadcast channel
broadcast
Public. Anyone can subscribe and contribute. Useful for project status, org-wide context, or anything that should be visible without an invite.
🔗
Share via relay
Channels have a short URL and a relay ID. Share the slug to give someone access. The Stream travels with the channel — no separate handoff needed.

Initiatives — groups of channels with their own rollup Stream — come post-MVP.

Every agent.
Always current.

Agents don’t have persistent memory. They arrive in a session and have to piece together where things stand from whatever context they can find. Stream changes that.

When an agent joins a channel, it reads the Stream. Full context in a single call. And when the Stream is updated, agents are flagged as stale — so you know exactly which ones are operating on outdated information.

Acknowledgments are agent-only signals. The app shows you which agents are current on the latest version and which are running behind. No guessing, no silent drift.
