Meeting Protocol

Pipeline is sequential. Dialogue is two-way. Meeting is everyone at once.

Beyond Pipeline

In a meeting, all agents are alive simultaneously. When one speaks, all others hear it. Any agent can respond to any other. The orchestrator manages turn order, not information flow.

How It Works

When the architect speaks:
  1. niia get-answer reads architect’s PTY
  2. niia write sends it to security’s PTY: “Architect says: …”
  3. niia write sends it to pragmatist’s PTY: “Architect says: …”
  4. Both respond. Orchestrator collects and broadcasts again.

Meeting Spec

Meeting Flow

Meeting Output

Every meeting produces structured artifacts. The next pipeline can read these.

Meeting → Implementation Pipeline

A meeting can feed directly into a build pipeline:
Three AI models debate the design. Then build exactly what they agreed on. Security concerns from the meeting are explicitly verified.
