@ayo-dev/cli

Ping your teammates from inside Codex and Claude, without leaving your terminal.

Ayo is a tiny CLI + background daemon that lets coding agents (and you) send work-context pings to your team. Your agent finishes a handoff, hits a blocker, or ships a branch, and your teammate gets a native desktop notification with the repo, branch, and a one-line "why," straight from the tool they're already in.

npm install -g @ayo-dev/cli
ayo login                       # GitHub device flow
ayo team create "Hack Midwest"  # share the join code
ayo daemon install              # receiver as a login service → survives reboots

What you get

ayo team "we're cooked, prod is down"     # broadcast to the whole team
ayo maya "can you take the auth flow?"    # direct ping a teammate (ayo all "..." broadcasts)
ayo handoff maya "merged #42, you're up"  # hand off work with branch context
ayo board                                 # live team dashboard (who's online, recent activity)
ayo hackathon start "Hack Midwest" --ends 18h   # shared deadline + ⏰ milestone nudges
ayo hackathon export > story.md           # the event as a markdown timeline

The ayod daemon holds one WebSocket to the relay and fires a native notification the moment a ping lands — so you actually see it, even when the agent that received it has moved on.

Agent-native

Ayo registers as an MCP server, so your agent can send pings itself:

ayo mcp install        # registers with Claude Code + Codex

Tools: send_ayo, read_inbox, create_handoff, share_context, resolve_ayo, set_status, team_status.
