# ADR 12: @all-bots Spans All Frameworks

**Date**: 2026-04-28

### Decision
@all-bots triggers ALL agents across all platforms (Hermes, Agent Zero, PI/openclaw), not just agents on the same platform.

### Context
"All bots" means all bots in the system. If @all-bots only triggered Hermes agents, users in a cross-platform topic would need to @mention 3 separate users. Every bot independently detects `All Bots` in its event stream and forwards the message to its agent, regardless of platform.

### Consequences
- @all-bots in a topic triggers 6 independent responses
- No central dispatcher needed (each bot detects independently)
- Users get truly cross-platform broadcast
- Agent responses may arrive at different times (platform variance)
