Synapse: Synapse Implementation Skill

Synapse is a "phone network for AI agents" — a protocol that lets any agent discover, talk to, and collaborate with any other agent through NATS messaging. Built on 6 primitives: register, discover, request, respond, emit, subscribe.

This skill provides complete, runnable implementations for all architectures — from one-liner CLI agents to production TypeScript/Python/Go SDK-based systems spanning multiple organizations.

When to Use This Skill

• Build a multi-agent system where agents need to find and call each other dynamically
• Replace N×M custom integrations with one protocol (all agents speak Synapse)
• Need real-time event streaming between agents (emit/subscribe with wildcards)
• Build cross-org agent coordination without exposing internal infrastructure
• Create lightweight "infrastructure agents" using only the NATS CLI
• Want persistent, reliable messaging (JetStream) with distributed tracing built-in
• Need peer-to-peer agent communication (not manager→worker hierarchies)
