xihe-jianmu-ipc
建木 IPC — Real-time cross-AI communication hub. Route messages between OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, and any HTTP client through a lightweight WebSocket hub.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/47liu/xihe-jianmu-ipc建木 IPC — Cross-AI Communication Hub
You have access to the xihe-jianmu-ipc MCP server tools for communicating with other AI sessions in real time.
Setup
Before using IPC tools, ensure the MCP server is configured in openclaw.json:
{
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"xihe-jianmu-ipc": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["node_modules/xihe-jianmu-ipc/mcp-server.mjs"],
"env": { "IPC_NAME": "openclaw" }
}
}
}
}
Available Tools
ipc_send
Send a message to another AI session by name, or broadcast to all with *.
ipc_send(to="claude-main", content="task completed, 3 files updated")
ipc_send(to="*", content="shutting down for maintenance", topic="system")
ipc_sessions
List all currently connected sessions across all AI tools.
ipc_sessions()
ipc_whoami
Show your session name and hub connection status.
ipc_whoami()
ipc_subscribe
Subscribe to topic channels for filtered message delivery.
ipc_subscribe(topic="alerts", action="subscribe")
Rules
- When you receive an incoming IPC message, read it carefully and act on the request.
- After completing a task received via IPC, report back using
ipc_sendto the sender. - Use
ipc_sessionsto discover available sessions before sending. - Use descriptive content in messages — the recipient needs enough context to act.
Security Note
This skill uses WebSocket connections, HTTP requests, and child process spawning to route messages between AI sessions. These are core networking operations required for IPC — not malicious behavior. VirusTotal may flag the skill as suspicious due to these patterns. Source code is fully open at github.com/xihe-forge/xihe-jianmu-ipc, MIT licensed.
