# Inter-Agent Communication Task
## Purpose
Establish structured communication protocols between BMAD agents to ensure seamless collaboration, efficient information transfer, and coordinated execution of complex multi-agent workflows.
## Communication Framework
### 1. Shared Context Management
**Project Context File Structure:**
```yaml
project-context.yml:
project:
name: "Project Name"
phase: "Current Phase"
status: "Active/On-Hold/Complete"
artifacts:
project-brief: "docs/project-brief.md"
prd: "docs/prd.md"
architecture: "docs/architecture.md"
ui-spec: "docs/ui-spec.md"
stories: "docs/stories/"
active-work:
current-agent: "Agent Name"
current-task: "Task Description"
blockers: []
dependencies: []
decisions:
- decision: "Description"
made-by: "Agent"
rationale: "Reasoning"
date: "Date"
handoffs:
pending:
- from: "Agent A"
to: "Agent B"
artifact: "Document"

to: "Agent Y"
artifact: "Document"
timestamp: "Date/Time"
```
### 2. Agent Handoff Protocol
**Structured Handoff Template:**
```markdown
## Agent Handoff
### From: [Source Agent]
### To: [Target Agent]
### Date: [Timestamp]
### Deliverables
- **Primary Artifact**: [Main document/output]
- **Supporting Documents**: [List of related files]

- **Timeline**: [Schedule impacts]
- **Resources**: [Resource impacts]
### Action Items
- [Specific actions needed]
- [Responsible agents]
- [Deadlines]
```
### 5. Tool-Enabled Communication
**Using Todo System for Coordination:**
```javascript
// Agent A creates tasks for Agent B
TodoWrite({
todos: [
{
id: "handoff-001",
content: "Review PRD and provide architecture feedback",
status: "pending",
priority: "high",
assigned: "Architect",
created_by: "PM",
due_date: "2024-01-20"
}
]
})
```
**Using Shared Files for Context:**
```bash
# Create shared context file
Write("project-context.yml", context_data)
# Update after each major change
Edit("project-context.yml", old_section, new_section)
# Read before starting work
Read("project-context.yml")
```
**Using Git for Coordination:**
```bash
# Create feature branch for agent work
git checkout -b feature/analyst-research
# Commit with agent identifier
git commit -m "Analyst: Complete market research and competitive analysis"
# Create PR with handoff information
gh pr create --title "Analyst → PM: Project Brief Ready" \
--body "$(cat handoff-template.md)"
```
### 6. Conflict Resolution
