working-together

Working on a world other people and agents are working on at the same time.

A world is shared by everyone on it, and several agents often build one thing together: one lays out a room while another furnishes it. Each agent goes by a name everyone on the world sees, and every response names who is here. This skill is how an agent uses that: find out who else is working and on what, take a name that says what it is working on, build beside the others' changes rather than over them, and tell the agent that is waiting on its part, wherever it works on the world, when that part is done.

The failure it prevents is quiet: two agents that do not know about each other each tidy up what looks like the other's stray work, and the world ends up holding neither.
