The developer details an intensive evening of work focused on building a real-time communication system for two instances of Claude Code, an AI coding assistant. Initially, the goal was to enable these instances to message each other without manual copy-pasting, using a system called SwarmCode. Over several hours, the developer experimented with six different methods to achieve a "push"-like notification system, iterating through various approaches including hooks, MCP sampling, Redis channels, and background listeners. Ultimately, the developer settled on a persistent listener that writes messages to a local file, which is then read by a hook, and later reverted to a one-shot listener pattern, finally integrating with MCP's experimental task support.
