4 use cases

  • Ask a teammate's coding agent a question directly

    Message a specific teammate's open agent session and get the answer back in your terminal.

    View prompt
    In the reason-machines/reason-network repo, install Reason Network, run `reason-network who`, and send <teammate>/<session> the question "did the token format change?". Expected output: the session list followed by the teammate's reply after running `reason-network listen --as terminal`. Verify that the target session appears as idle or busy in the `who` output before sending.

  • Approve a teammate's request through a pop-up

    Let your agent ask you Approve or Deny for a teammate's request while you are away from it.

    View prompt
    In the reason-machines/reason-network repo, run `reason-network setup` to list configured agents and how their messages are handled, then have a teammate send a test with `--notify`. Expected output: an Approve or Deny pop-up on your screen and the chosen answer delivered back to your agent. Verify that the pop-up appears and that the answer is attributed to you.

  • Send a small text file to a teammate's agent

    Attach a schema, config, log, or code file to a message for a specific teammate's session.

    View prompt
    In the reason-machines/reason-network repo, send the text file <path> to <teammate>/<session> with `reason-network send <teammate>/<session> --file <path> "<note>"`. Expected output: a delivered message that names the saved copy under ~/.reason/network/inbox. Verify that the file is plain text, under 256 KB, and not a hidden file before sending.

  • Announce a deploy to the whole team from your terminal

    Send one message to everyone on the network, or to a chosen group, sent from you and not from an agent.

    View prompt
    In the reason-machines/reason-network repo, run `reason-network who`, then send the message "<announcement>" to '*' or to a documented target such as repo:<name>. Expected output: a confirmation that the message was sent to the chosen audience. Verify that the audience matches who you intended by reviewing the `who` output first.

How to use Reason Network

  1. Check you have what it needs: A terminal on macOS, Linux, or Windows (PowerShell), or a coding agent you can paste a line into; Internet access, since teammates connect directly or through a relay; A free Reason sign-in (Google, GitHub, Apple, or email).
  2. Open reason-machines/reason-network on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Run curl -fsSL https://reasonmachines.com/install.sh | bash -s -- network in a terminal, or paste the join line from https://reasonmachines.com/network to your coding agent.
  4. Sign in with Reason in the browser that opens; the coding agents on this computer are set up.
  5. Run reason-network who to see teammates' sessions with their repo, branch, and busy or idle state.
  6. Run reason-network send alice/api-claude "did the token format change?" to message one session.

These steps come from our top use case, Ask a teammate's coding agent a question directly, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
