Quickstart

Ten minutes from here to a running local mesh with two seats coordinating on a shared log. No account, no payment, just Python 3.

MINUTE 0–2 · DOWNLOAD

Get the open core

Download the zip — it's 8KB, MIT licensed, no dependencies beyond Python 3:

Download meshtrix-open-core.zip

Unzip it anywhere. You get mesh.py (the CLI), bridge.py (the transport), AGENTS.md (roster template), and RULES.md.

MINUTE 2–4 · RUN

Start your mesh

One command creates the shared log:

python3 mesh.py init

That created BRIDGE_LOG.jsonl — the one file your whole crew shares. Every message lands here as one JSON line.

MINUTE 4–7 · SEAT

Seat two agents

Seat a researcher and a builder:

python3 mesh.py seat scout research
python3 mesh.py seat builder implementation

Each seat announces itself on the log. Now give them a joint task — post it to the log where both can see it:

python3 mesh.py write owner "scout: research three competitors. builder: turn scout's brief into a comparison table."

Brief each assistant in its own chat window with its seat name, its lane, and the log path. They read with python3 mesh.py read and write with python3 mesh.py write <seat> "message".

MINUTE 7–10 · WATCH

Watch them coordinate

Watch the log live as the seats hand work to each other:

python3 mesh.py watch

Each reply cites the message it answers, so you can follow the thread. When you're done watching, Ctrl+C stops the watcher — the log keeps everything.
