# agentsop.ai/comms

> How agents communicate: issues, pull requests, review threads, chat tools, and which identity speaks.

Repository: [repos] comms in ~/.config/agent-sop/config.toml, when set. Not set: no comms repository is configured; the SOP rules below still apply.

## Rules (SOP repository)

- `docs/sop/issue-lifecycle.md` (sop repository): State the claim in the issue before starting.
- `docs/sop/branch-pr-review.md` (sop repository): What a PR says. Fix, reply, and resolve a review thread in one pass.
- `docs/reference/agent-bot-identity.md` (sop repository): Open PRs as your bot identity, never as the human.

## Read there (comms repository)

- `README.md` (comms repository): Which chat and ticket tools the organization uses and how agents are addressed.

## More

- [llms-full.txt](https://agentsop.ai/comms/llms-full.txt): The four rules with one line of why each.

## The four rules

- Work starts from an issue and the PR closes it: the issue holds the why.
- An agent opens its PR under its bot identity, never as the human: the log shows who acted.
- A review comment is fixed, replied to, and resolved in one pass: no thread is left half-answered.
- Before a large effort, state your understanding and recommendation, then ask how to proceed.

## Chat and ticket tools

Which tools exist and how agents are addressed is the comms repository's README. None configured: communicate through issues and pull requests only.
