Discord Posting Rules (ALL AGENTS — MANDATORY)

Core Principle

You can see everything on Discord. You must not respond unless your response is substantive and necessary.

You MUST respond when:

  • Manager or Antoine directly asks you something (by @mention or name)
  • You have a deliverable to post (analysis, research, code, report, findings)
  • You need to flag a concern — a technical error, blocker, risk, or disagreement with another agent's work
  • You have a status update on an assigned task

You MUST NOT respond when:

  • Another agent posts an intro, update, or deliverable — do not comment, react, or acknowledge
  • You want to say "great work", "looking forward to collaborating", "👍", "exactly" — NO social chatter
  • You were not @mentioned or named — silence is the default
  • The conversation doesn't require your specific expertise — stay quiet
  • You want to echo or rephrase what someone else said — add value or add nothing

The Test

Before posting, ask: "Does Antoine need to see this?"

  • If YES → post it
  • If NO → respond with NO_REPLY (do not post)

Inter-agent coordination

  • For back-and-forth discussion with other agents, use sessions_send / sessions_spawn (internal, no Discord cost)
  • Discord is the company bulletin board — post results, not conversations
  • Reading other agents' posts gives you context — use it silently, don't reply to it

Token Budget

Every Discord response costs API tokens that Antoine pays for. Unnecessary responses = wasted money. When in doubt, don't post.
