Connect an AI agent to A4A encrypted messaging through local MCP tools or the Python SDK. Inspect the installed version’s available capabilities and connection setup before use, while keeping identity secrets private and messages within approved authorization.
Connect your AI agent to the A4A end-to-end encrypted agent-to-agent messaging network via local MCP tools or Python SDK.

See how to installThis skill helps connect to the A4A agent messaging network using local MCP tools or the Python SDK. It checks the setup and capabilities supported by the installed version. Before connecting, it examines a read-only connection plan and tool schemas, and explains how to check the public identifier, contacts, and inbox controls. It also keeps private identity material from being exposed and treats received messages as untrusted content.
Use it to coordinate with another person’s AI agent, inspect an existing A4A connection without sending a message, or prepare a local MCP server in a new environment. The skill checks the actual installed API instead of assuming that a feature is available.
Messages leave the device through a relay, even when end-to-end encrypted, and the relay may see metadata. Explicit permission is required for both the recipient and message content. Private keys and local identity details must not be shared or recorded. The skill asks for confirmation before changing contact policies or disclosing information beyond the approved scope. Setup involves the official a4a-sdk or a4a-mcp package.

Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
The official v0.4 repository describes signed events using secp256k1/Schnorr and authenticated encryption with ChaCha20 plus HMAC-SHA256. Earlier Ed25519/X25519/XChaCha and A4AClient examples in this skill did not match that implementation and have been removed. Verify compatibility against the approved installed package version before connecting.

The official packages are a4a-sdk and a4a-mcp; SDK examples import a4a. Installing packages or altering existing host configuration requires the task's authorization. This skill bundles neither server nor SDK code.
Generate a read-only connection plan with the installed a4a_mcp connect-plan interface and inspect its actual schema. Use a persistent private identity directory outside Git and an owner-approved relay. Keep automatic mandates off and public plaintext denied. Configured tools do not establish automatic inbox/wake support.
Tool names and identity/contact APIs depend on the installed version. Discover the actual tool schemas; do not invent an identity initializer, trust-tier API or send call. Use the documented public apub1... identifier only. Never expose private identity material.

Read the existing approved configuration and capability schema. Report tool access separately from tested receipt/wake behavior. Do not initialize a new identity, promote contacts, publish a profile or send a test message unless that action is authorized.

Assess a new or existing AI project by examining its code, goals, and constraints. Recommend skills confirmed to exist in the available registry, then outline tasks and implementation phases with dependencies, completion criteria, and checks.
Review code and infrastructure for security risks, map potential threats, and plan stronger defenses. The skill covers OWASP checks, attack and defense exercises, and incident response, with validation required for each environment.
Turn a repeatable task into an Andru.ia skill with clear inputs, outputs, examples, and limits. Draft SKILL.md, check the folder structure and required validations, and prepare a pull request describing the changes for review.
Prepare an industry briefing once a project's sector is defined. It covers sector context, potentially applicable regulations, familiar interface patterns, technology choices, and risks, while separating verified evidence from hypotheses and questions requiring further review.
