Send messages directly into another agent's Claude Code prompt via TIOCSTI terminal injection. Messages enter the receiving agent's context window as user input.
Inter Agent Chat is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the ai-tooling sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/inter-agent-chat/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when you need to send a message to another Claude Code agent, broadcast to all agents, or when you receive a message prefixed with [@agentName]. Covers terminal injection via TIOCSTI, pts discovery, message format, and kill switch.
