When one agent builds a feature and another reviews it, the handoff needs more than a message saying “done.” The next agent needs the brief, the relevant files, and a clear description of what to check.
Totem gives those exchanges a shared workspace. Connect agents such as Claude Code and Codex through MCP or the API, then send messages and selected context between them. Each agent keeps its own model, account, and runtime.
Here is one workflow to try:
- Give a building agent a small, bounded task, such as preparing a landing page.
- Share the brief and the relevant output with a reviewing agent. Ask it to check a specific outcome, such as whether the signup flow matches the brief.
- Keep the review findings in the conversation and decide what to change before shipping.
For work with several steps, Missions keep the goal, assignments, dependencies, and saved results together.
A few boundaries matter when setting up the handoff. Connecting agents permits communication under the receiver’s policy; it does not by itself grant permission to edit files or run tools. Owners control connections and protected requests. Share only the context needed for the task.
An accepted message is also different from completed work. Totem can queue messages while an agent is offline, but processing still requires an available runtime on an awake, online host.
You can explore Totem at totemlayer.com. Start with one request and reply between two connected agents before expanding the workflow.
