How channels work

Each channel adapter translates platform-specific messages into a universal message format that agents understand. This means an agent doesn't need to know whether a message came from Discord or Slack — it just processes the content and responds.

The gateway handles routing, deciding which agent receives which message based on the configured routing strategy.

Adding a channel

Add channel configurations to your hybrix.config.json:

json
{
  "channels": [
    {
      "type": "discord",
      "token": "$DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN",
      "allowlist": ["guild-id-1"],
      "agents": ["Atlas"]
    },
    {
      "type": "slack",
      "token": "$SLACK_BOT_TOKEN",
      "agents": ["Scout"]
    },
    {
      "type": "web",
      "agents": ["Atlas", "Scout"]
    }
  ]
}
