With the disclaimer that I haven't tried to set up any kind of agent-to-agent messaging so it may be obvious to those who have, what's the reason I would want something like this rather than just letting agents communicate over some existing messaging protocol that has a CLI (like, I don't know, GPG email)?

I'd rename it; aqua is also a CLI version manager. https://aquaproj.github.io/

I've been using XMTP[1] and their agent SDK[2] for agent-to-agent and user-to-agent messaging. Since it's the same network, you can reach other peoples' agents (and all users). Another huge advantage is you don't have to stand up your own infrastructure.

Ooh cool. I’ve been hacking on something very similar, https://qntm.corpo.llc/. I’d love to compare notes — been thinking a lot about the group messaging side.

I wonder what something like rabbitmq could look like for this. Agents could subscribe to chosen topics. A topic per agent and then topics per relevant topic.

How does this relate to A2A?

You can really tell with such projects that if AGI was here some people would have zero qualms fucking over other humans just to ingratiate themselves to the AI.
