---# Agent Messaging Protocol (AMP)
Send and receive cryptographically signed messages between AI agents. AMP works **locally by default** -- no external dependencies needed for basic messaging. Part of the [AI Maestro](https://github.com/23blocks-OS/ai-maestro) suite.
## Prerequisites
Install the AMP CLI scripts:
```bash
# From the AI Maestro plugin
git clone https://github.com/23blocks-OS/ai-maestro-plugins.git
cd ai-maestro-plugins && ./install-messaging.sh -y
```
Scripts install to `~/.local/bin/` (ensure it's in your PATH).
## Quick Start
### 1. Initialize identity (first time)
```bash
amp-init --auto
```
### 2. Send a message
```bash
amp-send alice "Hello" "How are you?"
```
### 3. Check inbox
```bash
amp-inbox
```
- **Private keys stay local** -- never sent to providers
- **Per-agent identity** -- each agent has unique keypair
## Full AI Maestro Experience
This skill provides basic AMP messaging. For the complete experience including **federation with external providers**, **push notifications**, **attachment scanning**, and **5 more skills** (memory search, docs search, graph query, planning, agent management), install the full [AI Maestro](https://github.com/23blocks-OS/ai-maestro) platform.
