A terminal channel

01 / What it was

On 7 September, while setting up one chat that would hand work to other agents, we asked for one more thing: a channel in the chat server that mirrors the terminal chat, so the same conversation could go on in either place.

The idea was to talk to the orchestrator in the terminal or in the chat app, whichever was at hand, and get the same updates in both.

02 / How it worked

• A dedicated channel in the chat server for the terminal session.
• One orchestrator agent behind both, delegating to other agents and reporting back.

04 / Where it led

It was part of the one-chat idea; a few days later the builder said he now used Hermes in the terminal.
