Team Messages in Conversation

When agents in a team, hierarchy, or pipeline message one another, Conversation shows each hand-off as a tidy row instead of the raw command wrapper the agents use. A link message becomes a card naming who sent it and who it's for, with both agent logos and a live delivery status.

Team Messages in Conversation

Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

Orchestrated agents coordinate by sending each other messages, and until now that machine-to-machine traffic landed in your chat as the literal [1devtool] command lines they exchanged — impossible to skim. Reading a swarm as rows lets you follow who is waiting on whom without decoding CLI syntax.

How It Works

Get started in 4 simple steps

1
1

Run agents that talk to each other

Link agents in a team, hierarchy, or pipeline. As they coordinate they message one another over the link instead of working in isolation.

2
2

Read each hand-off as a row

Every message becomes a tidy row in Conversation — a link-message card naming who sent it and who it is for, with both agents' logos, instead of the raw [1devtool] command wrapper.

3

Expand only what you need

The reply instructions fold away on each card and open on demand; small events show as quiet notice rows like "Linked to Codex" or "You are Backend lead".

Follow the delivery status

Outbound rows report their state — Delivering, Delivered · awaiting reply, Reply received, Waiting for your approval, or Delivery failed — with a line that animates while a message is still in flight.

The manual way vs. the 1DevTool way

The Hard Way

# Agents message each other over links
# The chat shows the raw [1devtool] command
# One long wrapper line per hand-off
# No idea if a message was delivered
# Reading a swarm means decoding CLI syntax

The 1DevTool Way

Each hand-off is a tidy row with both agent logos.
A link-message card names who sent it and who it is for.
Reply instructions fold away until you want them.
Delivered, awaiting reply, or replied — shown live.
Notice rows cover links, roles and decisions.

Why It Matters

The productivity impact of having ai productivity built into your workspace

A Swarm You Can Actually Follow

Inter-agent traffic reads as a timeline of hand-offs instead of a firehose of command lines, so supervising a team stops meaning parsing CLI syntax.

Know Who Is Waiting On Whom

Live delivery status on every outbound row tells you what is delivered, replied, or still in flight at a glance.

Detail Only When You Ask

Reply instructions fold away by default and expand on demand, so the row stays skimmable and the raw command is never lost.

The Small Events Stay Quiet

Links formed, roles assigned and decisions opened appear as unobtrusive notice rows instead of crowding the transcript.
