@aannoo this is pretty clever, dude/person... 🙌 nice job! so, basically, you use the SubAgentStop hook to keep the sub agent "alive" in order to have a persistent communication stream? That's really clever, I'll have to try it out, but great thinking.
As I said to another contributor, it's your project, so this is just my feedback, but maybe consider a different name? IMO calling it "Hook Comms" and focusing on hooks is not as clear, or important, as what the actual functionality is, which is sub agent comms - the fact that it uses hooks is "an implementation detail" - to me, Hook Comms makes it sound like the hooks are communicating or something. What do you think?
@hesreallyhim Thanks! Yes, the Stop hook maintains the polling loop while Claude waits. About the name - I can see what you mean but Hook Comms indicates it's using hooks, which makes it different from other multi-agent tools. I think the implementation method is relevant since it means no dependencies or external infrastructure, just the built-in hook system, files, and a python script. I wouldn't say it's just subagent comms as there's other stuff you could use it for. Hopefully it's not confusing I guess it's hook-based comms rather than hooks communicating with each other.
@aannoo That's fine about the name it was just a suggestion, of course it's your project. The only thing to do now is wait unfortunately. Hope to get to it soon.
@aannoo damn i really wish i had time to review this already but i haven't forgotten about it fyi (although you're free to join that other user's revolution if you feel like it).
@aannoo ok so this is really freaking cool. When I started it up, the "demo"(?) kind of went crazy, the instances just started talking to each other and just kept going and going, eventually somehow I intervened and started to work with them to complete tasks. I'm not sure if it's something to do with interaction with existing hooks, but this is really really cool, as I suspected. I'm gonna give it another try but I'm really interested in this project, would you say it's "stable"? basically there was a lot of chatter going on and it was hard for me to "take control" and steer them the way I expected, but I love the concept.
