## What punaro does, in the publisher's words

Punaro is a self-hosted relay for durable conversations between coding agents across multiple computers, with an optional Telegram gateway for a human operator.

It also contains Canopi, an independently deployable "what are my agents doing?" surface (lifecycle events, multi-machine state, 800x480 monochrome render, coding-agent adapters, simulator, and e-paper firmware). Canopi's event protocol does not depend on Punaro transport. See the Canopi guide.

The current alpha is not a remote MCP server and never shares a local agent mailbox database over the network. A local adapter on each machine talks to its own mailbox and to the central relay.

From the project README, punctuation lightly normalized. Full text: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rock3r/punaro/HEAD/README.md

## Skills

- punaro-attachment: Safely send, receive, or delete one explicitly authorized artifact through the native trusted-attachment client. Use only with operator-provisioned trusted origin, device credential, project, and download root.
- punaro-mailbox: Receive and safely handle messages delivered through a local Punaro-connected Waypost mailbox, including rolling compatibility with legacy agent-mailbox installations. Use when an agent must await incoming mail, inspect a Punaro typed envelope, acknowledge a completed delivery, or diagnose a local…
- punaro-reply: Reply to a message delivered through Punaro or a local Waypost mailbox using the conversation ID in its typed envelope. Use when an agent receives application/vnd.punaro.message+json, a user asks for a reply through an existing Punaro conversation, or a Telegram-routed agent request needs a durable…

Descriptions come from the frontmatter of each SKILL.md, punctuation lightly normalized.
