buzz-handoff reads Buzz channels and threads in a private agent conversation
and can send an explicitly approved message back through the public Buzz CLI.
- a
buzzCLI build containing the handoff contract introduced byblock/buzz@9e6ee814b, onPATH BUZZ_RELAY_URLandBUZZ_PRIVATE_KEYconfigured outside the agent conversationBUZZ_AUTH_TAGwhen required by the configured identity
Never paste a Buzz private key into an agent conversation. This skill does not read or export credentials from Buzz Desktop.
Buzz does not currently publish the standalone CLI as a release artifact. Build
and install it from a local checkout of block/buzz
using the repository's pinned Rust toolchain (the CLI crate declares Rust 1.88
as its minimum):
git clone https://github.com/block/buzz.git
cd buzz
git checkout investigate-buzz-cli-handoff # temporary until the contract lands on main
cargo install --locked --path crates/buzz-cli
buzz --helpUntil that prototype contract lands on Buzz main, check out
investigate-buzz-cli-handoff before running cargo install. Update the CLI by
pulling the Buzz checkout and repeating the install command. The skill has no
compatibility guarantee for Buzz CLI builds that predate this contract.
Install it globally with the open Agent Skills CLI so Buzz Handoff is available across conversations and working folders:
npx skills add block/berd --skill buzz-handoff -gChoose the agent harnesses where you want the skill available. Reload an open agent application after installation.
To install it only for the current code project, omit -g and run the command
from that project's root:
npx skills add block/berd --skill buzz-handoffUpdate a global installation with:
npx skills update buzz-handoff -gUpdate a project installation from that project's root with:
npx skills update buzz-handoff --projectInstalled files are managed copies and may be replaced during an update. Make durable changes in this repository rather than editing an installed copy.
