Poke Agent

Here's a thread that sends a |hi to a ship via the %hood agent:

/ted/send-hi.hoon

/+  *strandio
|=  arg=vase
=/  m  (strand:rand ,vase)
=/  uarg  !<  (unit @p)  arg
?~  uarg
  (strand-fail:rand %no-arg ~)
=/  =ship  u.uarg
^-  form:m
;<  our=@p   bind:m  get-our
;<  now=@da  bind:m  get-time
;<  ~        bind:m  (poke [our %hood] helm-send-hi+!>([ship ~]))
(pure:m !>(~))

Save it in /ted of the %base desk, |commit %base, and run it like:

-send-hi ~zod

Analysis

Pretty simple, just use +poke with an argument of [ship term] cage where term is the agent and cage is whatever the particular agent expects.
