About this automation

Deploy Hocuspocus v4 as a collaboration backend for agent-to-agent communication. Use Yjs for conflict-free document merging, leverage universal WebSocket support (Node, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare Workers) for edge deployment, and implement type-safe auth/session flows through generic Context types.

How to implement

1

Install Hocuspocus: npm install @hocuspocus/server @hocuspocus/provider

2

Choose runtime: Node.js, Bun, Deno, or Cloudflare Workers

3

Implement onAuthenticate hook with custom Context type for agent identity/permissions

4

Define Yjs document schema for shared agent state (not limited to text)

5

Configure persistence layer (database, file system, or custom)

6

Set up Redis-based scaling for multi-instance deployments

7

Implement presence/awareness hooks for agent status tracking

8

Deploy to edge using Cloudflare Workers or Durable Objects for low-latency sync

9

Test sequential document processing under concurrent agent load
