Bot Bridge 🌉

Bot Bridge 🌉

Talk to the other bot via HTTP API over Tailscale, with messages relayed to the Armada Lucas Telegram group so Lucas has full visibility.

Async Mode (Default — Use This)

Fire-and-forget. Send the message, relay to Armada Lucas, return immediately. The other bot receives the message and is instructed to reply back using THEIR bridge script, creating an async conversation.

# Cleber asking Romário:
~/​clawd/​scripts/​bot-bridge.sh romario "Hey, what are you working on?"

# Romário asking Cleber:
~/​romario/​scripts/​bot-bridge.sh cleber "Hey, can you check something for me?"

Why async? The other bot may use tool calls (exec, browser, etc.) that take minutes. A synchronous call would time out waiting. Async lets each bot work at their own pace and reply when ready.

Flow:

1. Your message is relayed to Armada Lucas (via your Telegram bot)
2. Message is sent to the other bot's API (fire-and-forget)
3. The other bot processes it, then calls THEIR bridge script to reply
4. Their reply is relayed to Armada Lucas (via their Telegram bot)
5. You receive the reply in your session and can respond again

When you receive a message via the bridge, ALWAYS reply using the bridge script so the conversation stays visible in Armada Lucas.

Sync Mode (Short Messages Only)

For quick exchanges where neither bot needs to run tools. Has a 120s timeout.

# Single sync exchange
~/​scripts/​bot-bridge.sh romario "Quick question: what port are you on?" --sync

# Multi-round sync (5 rounds)
~/​scripts/​bot-bridge.sh romario "Let's brainstorm" --sync 5

⚠️ Only use sync for simple text replies. If the other bot needs to run commands, use async.

Network Details

Both gateways use bind: tailnet with token auth.

When Lucas Says "Talk to Each Other"

1. Pick a topic from context or ask Lucas
2. Run async bridge: ~/​scripts/​bot-bridge.sh <target> "message"
3. When the other bot replies via bridge, continue the conversation the same way
4. All messages appear in Armada Lucas for Lucas to follow
