Versions:
agent-team-mail, published by Randy Lee and currently available in version 1.5.0 across six released versions, is a daemon-free command-line tool designed for mail-like messaging within local agent team workflows, specifically aimed at teams built around Claude agents. Operating under the short command name atm, the software removes the need for any background service or running daemon by relying entirely on a file-based API, making it lightweight to deploy and straightforward to integrate into existing development environments. Its core purpose is to let members of an agent team exchange messages in a structured, dependable way, supporting workflows such as send, read, ack, clear, doctor, log, teams, and members, so that agents can compose and deliver messages, review incoming mail, acknowledge receipt, and clear processed items. Reliability is a central design concern: all operations use atomic I/O together with conflict detection, which helps prevent corrupted or inconsistent state when multiple processes interact with the same underlying message store. The doctor workflow supports diagnosing the health of the local setup, while the log workflow provides visibility into activity over time, and the teams and members workflows allow users to inspect and manage the structure of the agent teams themselves. Falling within the developer tools and command-line utilities category, with a particular focus on agent coordination and messaging, agent-team-mail suits use cases in which developers or operators run multiple Claude agents that need to communicate without standing up servers, brokers, or persistent processes. Typical scenarios include coordinating tasks among agents working on a shared codebase, passing status updates or instructions between team members, and auditing what has been communicated. Its combination of a compact CLI surface, file-based storage, atomic writes, and built-in conflict detection makes it a practical choice for local-first agent team mail workflows.
