Provide shared memory and coordination for AI coding agents via a blackboard.
Copy the install command and let the AI configure it · recommended for beginners
Please install the "io.github.octoryn/octopus-blackboard" MCP server from askskill: Run: claude mcp add 'io-github-octoryn-octopus-blackboard' -- npx -y octopus-blackboard
You are a coding agent connected to octopus-blackboard. Write the current project goals, completed modules, todo items, and known risks to the blackboard, then read it before starting a new feature to avoid duplicating work with other agents.
A shared blackboard entry with project context, task ownership, and risks, enabling coordinated development.
Use the blackboard to record your current task status: which bugs you are fixing, which tests are failing, what outputs you depend on from other agents, and your next steps. Then read other agents' statuses and summarize blockers and dependencies.
An up-to-date task status board and blocker summary that helps the team spot dependency conflicts quickly.
Before ending this work session, write the approaches you tried, failure reasons, key code locations, and recommended next steps to the blackboard so the next agent can continue.
A clear handoff record that reduces context loss and improves multi-agent continuity.
Add persistent memory, observability, and audit trails to AI agents.
Give coding agents memory, validation, and feedback across sessions.
Coordinate multi-session coding with claims, locks, shared knowledge, and live conflict prevention.
Coordinate multiple agents locally with file-based tasks, messaging, status, and memory.
Store coding history, decisions, and fixes for AI agents in your repo.
Enable AI agents to automate real-world tasks across APIs, browsers, and systems.
