Flags:

  • --dry-run Plan fixes without applying them
  • --fix Apply safe doctor fixes
  • -h, --help help for check
  • --offline Run without network checks
  • --online Allow online checks

  • -h, --help help for claim-human
  • --mock-url string Override the bootstrap base URL for local development
  • --username string Override the default dashboard username derived from the registered domain

init

init

Initialize the current directory using one of the supported team-architecture flows:

  • connect with an existing team certificate already present in .aw/
  • create a hosted aweb.ai account when this directory is still clean
  • use –byod to create an identity under a domain you control

By default, init creates or updates the clearly marked aweb section in AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md. Use –do-not-touch-agents-md to skip that file update.

Flags:

  • --agent-type string Runtime type (default: AWEB_AGENT_TYPE or agent)
  • --aweb-url string Base URL for the aweb server used by aw init (overrides AWEB_URL)
  • --awid-registry string Base URL for the awid registry used by aw init (overrides AWID_REGISTRY_URL)
  • --byod Use a domain you control instead of hosted aweb.ai onboarding
  • --do-not-touch-agents-md Do not create or update AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md during init
  • --domain string BYOD domain to use with --byod
  • --global Create an addressed self-custodial global identity instead of the default local workspace
  • -h, --help help for init
  • --human-name string Human name (default: AWEB_HUMAN or $USER)
  • --inbound-mode string Inbound delivery mode for a global identity (open|team-and-contacts). Only valid with --global.
  • --inject-docs Inject aw coordination instructions into CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md

  • --username string Hosted username to create
  • --write-context Ensure .aw/context exists in the current directory (default true)

reset

reset

Removes the local .aw/context and .aw/workspace.yaml files in the current directory without mutating any server-side identity state.

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for reset

service

service

Connect an existing AWID identity and team certificate to an aw-compatible service.

Service commands do not create identities, register AWID teams, mutate team membership, or call BYOD onboarding flows. Use aw id team register to add a team projection to a service first, then run aw service init from each certified agent workspace.

Subcommands:

  • init Initialize this workspace against a service using an existing team certificate

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for service

service init

service init

Initialize this workspace against a service using the existing .aw signing key and team certificate in this directory. This command only connects this workspace to the service; it does not create identities, create teams, or change AWID team membership.

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for init
  • --role string Optional role name for this workspace
  • --service string Service URL to connect to
  • --team string Canonical AWID team id to activate before connecting

workspace

workspace

Manage repo-local coordination workspaces

Subcommands:

  • add-worktree Legacy convenience: create a sibling git worktree and coordination workspace
  • connect Connect this workspace to a service using an existing team certificate
  • delete Delete a local workspace and its local identity
  • migrate-multi-team Rewrite a legacy single-team workspace into the canonical multi-team shape
  • status Show coordination status for the current workspace/identity and team

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for workspace
  • --team string Override the selected team_id for this command

workspace add-worktree

workspace add-worktree

Legacy convenience for existing users: create a sibling git worktree and initialize a new coordination workspace in it.

New setup flows should prefer explicit git worktree/filesystem steps followed by aw init, invite/join, or service init primitives unless this command is reduced to a transparent wrapper with no identity/team orchestration.

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for add-worktree
  • --name string Override the default workspace/member name

workspace connect

workspace connect

Connect this workspace to a service using the existing .aw signing key and team certificate in this directory.

This is the first-class workspace connection verb. It does not create identities, create teams, or change AWID team membership. It is equivalent to aw service init.

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for connect
  • --role string Optional role name for this workspace
  • --service string Service URL to connect to
  • --team string Canonical AWID team id to activate before connecting

workspace delete

id create

id create

Create a self-custodial global identity in .aw/ by claiming DOMAIN/NAME in a namespace you control. This mints a did:aw, stores the local signing key material, and atomically claims the global address in AWID.

Flags:

  • --domain string Namespace domain for the global identity address
  • -h, --help help for create
  • --name string Global identity name (address name under --domain)
  • --registry string Registry origin override (default: api.awid.ai)

id namespace

id namespace

Protocol/admin namespace controller and address operations.

Use these commands when you hold a namespace controller key, are setting up BYOT, are assigning or deleting namespace addresses, or are diagnosing AWID registry state. Hosted happy-path setup should not require namespace controller commands.

Subcommands:

  • addresses List registry namespace addresses
  • assign-address Assign a namespace address to an existing did:aw using the local controller key
  • check-txt Verify the _awid DNS TXT record matches the local namespace controller key
  • delete Delete an AWID namespace using the local controller key
  • delete-address Delete a namespace address claim using the local controller key
  • prepare-controller Create or show a local namespace controller key and DNS TXT value
  • resolve Resolve a registry namespace address
  • rotate-controller Recover namespace control by rotating to a new controller key
  • set-delivery-origin Set namespace address-route default delivery origin using the local controller key

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for namespace

id namespace addresses

id namespace addresses

List registry namespace addresses

Flags:

  • --authority string Authority mode: anonymous, did, or namespace-controller (default "anonymous")
  • -h, --help help for addresses

id namespace assign-address

id namespace assign-address

Assign a namespace address to an existing did:aw using the local controller key

Flags:

  • --did-aw string Existing did:aw to bind the address to
  • --domain string Namespace domain (e.g. aweb.ai)
  • -h, --help help for assign-address
  • --name string Address name (e.g. alice)

id namespace check-txt

id namespace check-txt

Verify the _awid DNS TXT record matches the local namespace controller key.

This is read-only. It looks up _awid., loads the local namespace controller key from ~/.awid/controllers/.key (or –controller-key), and fails if DNS has not propagated or points at a different controller DID.

Flags:

  • --controller-key string Namespace controller key path override
  • --domain string Namespace domain
  • -h, --help help for check-txt

id namespace delete

id namespace delete

Delete an AWID namespace using the local namespace controller key.

Namespace deletion requires all active certificates in the namespace to be revoked first. It does not update DNS; remove any _awid TXT record at your DNS provider after the registry delete succeeds. Local controller/team key files are preserved unless –purge-local is set, in which case they are moved to ~/.awid/deregister-backups/ instead of being unlinked.

Flags:

  • --domain string Namespace domain (e.g. aweb.ai)
  • -h, --help help for delete
  • --purge-local Move local controller and team keys for the namespace to ~/.awid/deregister-backups after successful registry delete
  • --reason string Optional deletion reason recorded by the registry
  • --registry string Registry origin override

id namespace delete-address

id namespace delete-address

Delete a namespace address claim using the local namespace controller key.

This removes the address route/claim, not the append-only did:aw audit log. If the address has active team certificates, revoke those certificates first.

Flags:

  • --domain string Namespace domain (e.g. aweb.ai)
  • -h, --help help for delete-address
  • --name string Address name (e.g. alice)
  • --reason string Optional deletion reason recorded by the registry
  • --registry string Registry origin override

id namespace prepare-controller

id namespace prepare-controller

Create or show a local namespace controller key and DNS TXT value.

This command is deliberately local-only: it writes the namespace controller key under ~/.awid/controllers and prints the _awid TXT record to publish. Keep ~/.awid safe and backed up; losing this key means losing direct namespace controller authority unless you recover via DNS. It does not call AWID, create a did:aw identity, claim an address, create a team, or modify aweb Cloud state.

Flags:

  • --domain string Namespace domain
  • -h, --help help for prepare-controller
  • --registry string Registry origin to place in the DNS TXT record (default: api.awid.ai or AWID_REGISTRY_URL)

id namespace resolve

id namespace resolve

Resolve a registry namespace address

Flags:

  • --authority string Authority mode: anonymous, did, or namespace-controller (default "anonymous")
  • -h, --help help for resolve

id namespace rotate-controller

id namespace rotate-controller

Recover namespace control by rotating to a new controller key

Flags:

  • --domain string Namespace domain to rotate
  • -h, --help help for rotate-controller

id namespace set-delivery-origin

id namespace set-delivery-origin

Set namespace address-route default delivery origin using the local controller key

Flags:

  • --domain string Namespace domain (alias for --namespace)
  • -h, --help help for set-delivery-origin
  • --namespace string Namespace domain (e.g. acme.com)
  • --origin string Canonical aweb server origin (e.g. https://aweb.acme.com)

id register

id register

Register the current global identity at the configured registry

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for register

id request

id request

Make a DIDKey-signed HTTP request with the local identity key

Flags:

  • --body string Request body to send
  • --body-file string Read the request body from a file
  • --header stringArray Additional header in 'Name: Value' form
  • -h, --help help for request
  • --raw Print only the upstream response body
  • --sign string JSON object describing the signed payload fields
  • --sign-file string Read the JSON sign payload from a file
  • --team-auth Attach the active team certificate and sign a team-bound request payload

id resolve

id resolve

Resolve a did:aw to its current did:key

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for resolve

id rotate-key

id rotate-key

Rotate the current global identity signing key at the registry

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for rotate-key

id show

id show

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for show

id sign

id sign

Sign a canonical JSON payload with the local identity key

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for sign
  • --payload string JSON object to sign
  • --payload-file string Read the JSON payload to sign from a file

id team

id team

Team membership plus protocol/admin certificate operations.

Everyday hosted setup normally uses invite and accept-invite. Controller-backed commands such as create, add-member, remove-member, register, import-request, cleanup-cloud, and delete are protocol/admin primitives for BYOT, controller holders, service projection, or diagnostics.

Subcommands:

  • accept-invite Accept a team invite and receive a membership certificate
  • add-member Protocol/admin: add a member by signing a team certificate
  • cleanup-cloud Protocol/admin: delete aweb Cloud’s BYOT projection after registry team deletion
  • create Protocol/admin: create a customer-controlled AWID team
  • delete Protocol/admin: delete an AWID team using the namespace controller key
  • fetch-cert Protocol/admin bridge: fetch and install an approved team certificate
  • import-request Protocol/admin: create a signed BYOT import request for aweb cloud
  • invite Generate an invite token for a team
  • leave Remove a team membership from this identity
  • list List team memberships for this identity
  • members List a team’s members from AWID certificates
  • register Protocol/admin: register or sync a customer-controlled team with a service
  • remove-member Protocol/admin: remove a member by revoking a team certificate
  • request Protocol/admin bridge: print the add-member command the team owner should run
  • switch Switch the active team for this identity

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for team

id team accept-invite

id team accept-invite

Accept a team invite and receive a membership certificate.

Scope is explicit: –local is the default, and –global reuses the existing self-custodial global identity in this workspace. –address never selects global scope; pass –global when presenting an existing owned address.

Hosted aw_inv_ tokens are redeemed through the cloud. Local hosted accepts create a fresh local signing key and refuse to overwrite completed local state. Global hosted accepts reuse identity.yaml’s stored did:aw and signing key; they do not mint a new did:aw just because this identity joins another team. Hosted –global accepts may use –address for an owned address or –no-address for did:aw-only membership. After accepting, run aw init in that directory to connect the workspace.

Local-controller invite tokens are same-machine helpers: they require the local invite record and local team controller key. Local-controller global accepts default-claim team-domain/name only when the local namespace controller key is also present; otherwise use –address for an owned address or –no-address for did:aw-only membership. For cross-machine BYOT joins, use aw id team request, have the controller run aw id team add-member, then install with aw id team fetch-cert on the joining machine.

Flags:

  • --address string Advanced: existing owned address to place in the global member certificate
  • --global Join by reusing the existing global identity in this workspace
  • -h, --help help for accept-invite
  • --local Join with a local workspace identity (default)
  • --name string Member name for the accepting agent (defaults to identity name)
  • --no-address For --global, join with did:aw continuity but no member address

id team add-member

id team add-member

Protocol/admin: add a member by signing a team certificate

Flags:

  • --address string Global member address when using --did; must resolve to --did-aw
  • --did string Member did:key for direct certificate issuance
  • --did-aw string Optional stable did:aw when using --did
  • --global Issue a global member certificate for --did
  • -h, --help help for add-member
  • --local Issue a local workspace member certificate for --did (default)
  • --member string Member address (e.g. acme.com/alice)
  • --name string Member name to use with --did
  • --namespace string Namespace domain
  • --team string Team name

id team cleanup-cloud

id team cleanup-cloud

Delete aweb Cloud’s imported BYOT team projection using customer-held controller authority.

This command does not mutate AWID. In the normal path it signs the cleanup request with ~/.awid/team-keys//.key so aweb Cloud can verify that the customer-controlled team controller authorized the projection delete. If the team controller key has already been retired, use –namespace-controller to sign with the namespace controller key; aweb Cloud will verify that key against the _awid. DNS TXT controller for the team’s domain, with AWID registry lookup as a fallback when DNS is absent.

Flags:

  • --apply Apply the cleanup instead of dry-run
  • --aweb-url string aweb Cloud URL (default "https://app.aweb.ai")
  • -h, --help help for cleanup-cloud
  • --namespace string Namespace domain
  • --namespace-controller Authorize cleanup with the namespace controller key instead of the team controller key
  • --namespace-key string Namespace controller key path override for --namespace-controller
  • --team string Team name
  • --team-key string Team controller key path override
  • --timestamp string RFC3339 timestamp to sign (defaults to now; accepted for five minutes by cloud)

id team create

Protocol/admin: create a customer-controlled AWID team

Flags:

  • --display-name string Team display name
  • -h, --help help for create
  • --name string Team name
  • --namespace string Namespace domain
  • --registry string Registry origin override

id team delete

id team delete

Protocol/admin: delete an AWID team using the local namespace controller key.

Delete-team requires the team’s active certificates to be revoked first. It does not delete the namespace or any unrelated address claims.

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for delete
  • --namespace string Namespace domain
  • --reason string Optional deletion reason recorded by the registry
  • --registry string Registry origin override
  • --team string Team name

id team fetch-cert

id team fetch-cert

Protocol/admin bridge: fetch and install an approved team certificate

Flags:

  • --cert-id string Certificate id
  • --force Overwrite an existing local certificate for the team
  • -h, --help help for fetch-cert
  • --namespace string Namespace domain
  • --registry string Registry origin override
  • --team string Team name

id team import-request

id team import-request

Create a signed BYOT import request for aweb cloud.

This command signs the canonical import payload with your local BYOT team controller key. It prints the request body expected by POST /api/v1/teams/byoidt/import. It never uploads or prints namespace or team controller private keys. The cloud import endpoint accepts the signed timestamp for five minutes; regenerate the request body after it expires.

Flags:

  • --apply Create an apply request instead of the default dry-run request
  • --cloud-team-id string Existing AC team id to sync
  • -h, --help help for import-request
  • --namespace string Namespace domain
  • --organization-id string AC organization id for a new imported team
  • --team string Team name
  • --timestamp string RFC3339 timestamp to sign (defaults to now; accepted for five minutes by cloud)

id team invite

id team invite

Generate an invite token for a team.

Defaults to the active local team when –team and –namespace are omitted. Invites create local workspace members unless –member-global is set. Hosted teams use cloud invite authority; local-controller teams use the local team controller key.

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for invite
  • --member-global Create global member invite
  • --member-local Create local workspace member invite (default)
  • --namespace string Namespace domain
  • --team string Team name

id team leave

id team leave

Remove a team membership from this identity

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for leave

id team list

id team list

List team memberships for this identity

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for list

id team members

id team members

List a team’s members from AWID certificates.

Membership is represented by team certificates, so this identity-level command lists the certificate roster for the selected team. By default it shows active certificates; pass –include-revoked to include revoked rows.

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for members
  • --include-revoked Include revoked membership certificates
  • --namespace string Namespace domain; defaults to active team namespace
  • --registry string Registry origin override
  • --team string Team name; defaults to active team name
  • --team-id string Canonical team id (<team>:<namespace>); defaults to active team

id team register

id team register

Register or sync a customer-controlled AWID team with an aw-compatible service.

This command is service-generic: it signs a registration request with the local team controller key and sends only public/signed team facts to the service. It never uploads namespace or team controller private keys and does not initialize any agent workspace. Services may return their own next steps, such as aw service init or aw claim-human.

Flags:

  • --dry-run Preview registration without mutating the service projection
  • -h, --help help for register
  • --registry string Registry origin override
  • --service string Service URL to register with
  • --team string Canonical AWID team id (<team>:<namespace>)
  • --timestamp string RFC3339 timestamp to sign (defaults to now; accepted for five minutes by service)

id team remove-member

id team remove-member

Protocol/admin: remove a member by revoking a team certificate

Flags:

  • --api-key string Team API key for hosted removal (overrides AWEB_API_KEY; workspace-bound API keys are rejected by hosted aweb)
  • --aweb-url string Hosted aweb API URL override for cloud-mediated removal
  • --cert-id string Certificate id to revoke (hosted remove accepts --member or --cert-id)
  • -h, --help help for remove-member
  • --member string Member address (e.g. acme.com/alice)
  • --namespace string Namespace domain
  • --registry string Registry origin override
  • --team string Team name

id team request

id team request

Protocol/admin bridge: print the add-member command the team owner should run

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for request
  • --name string Suggested member name for the new team membership
  • --team string Canonical team ID (<name>:<domain>)

id team switch

id team switch

Switch the active team for this identity

Flags:

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for verify

mcp-config

mcp-config

Output MCP server configuration for the current identity

Flags:

  • --channel Output stdio channel config instead of HTTP MCP config
  • -h, --help help for mcp-config

team

team

Everyday team membership commands.

Use these commands for the normal hosted invite/join membership flow and for checking or switching this identity’s installed team memberships. Protocol/admin controller operations remain under aw id team.

Subcommands:

  • add Add agents to this team’s agents/instances layout
  • adopt Adopt a public-pinned agent profile onto the team’s private Library shelf
  • create Create a local empty-profile team workspace
  • extend Add agents to an existing team by discovering membership authority
  • invite Invite an agent or workspace to the active team
  • join Join a team from an invite token
  • leave Remove a team membership from this identity
  • list List team memberships for this identity
  • refresh Re-materialize a team member’s home from the latest version of its Library profile
  • remove-agent Remove an agent from a team
  • switch Switch the active team for this identity
  • up Launch local team agents in tmux

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for team

team add

team add

Add one or more agents to agents/instances//. Specs use [NAME@]BLUEPRINT/PROFILE[:local|global][=RUNTIME] or NAME[:local|global] for empty-profile homes. Omitted names use the server-authoritative next classic name; omitted scope comes from profile.yaml. @VERSION is no longer supported.

Flags:

  • --attach Attach or switch to the tmux session after --start launch (default true)
  • --blueprint string Default public Library blueprint for profile-only selectors (default: AWEB_BLUEPRINT or aweb.team)
  • --global Add a global AWID identity/address-backed agent
  • -h, --help help for add
  • --home string Agent home directory override for a single added agent (default: agents/instances/<name>)
  • --layout-only Only create agents/instances/<name>; do not create identity state
  • --library-url string Public Library catalog base URL (default: AWEB_LIBRARY_URL or https://library.aweb.ai)
  • --local Add a local team-scoped agent identity (default)
  • --no-attach Do not attach or switch to the tmux session after --start launch
  • --runtime string Materialization runtime for profile-bound agents (claude-code|codex|pi|local-shell; default claude-code)
  • --session string tmux session name for --start (default: active team name or aw-team)
  • --start Launch the added agent in tmux after materializing it
  • --work-dir string Git repo to use for the agent's worktree (default: repo containing the home, if any)

team adopt

team adopt

Adopt a public-pinned agents/instances/ profile onto the team’s private Library shelf. This reads .aw/profile/ref.json, imports the pinned public blueprint/profile onto the team shelf through the installed Library plugin, binds the agent, and re-points the local pin to the shelf copy by removing library_url. After adopt, aw team refresh uses the shelf path and can pick up approved team-local profile mints.

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for adopt
  • --home string Agent home directory override (default: agents/instances/<name>)

team create

team create

Create a local empty-profile team workspace.

This wraps aw init for the aw-local path. No –agent/–profile means no Library call and no profile materialization. –agent accepts [NAME@]BLUEPRINT/PROFILE[:local|global][=RUNTIME] (or NAME[:local|global] for an empty-profile agent). Omitted names use the server-authoritative next classic name; omitted scope comes from profile.yaml. All –agent/–profile specs populate agents/instances for aw team up; only –home with a single spec uses that spec for the root workspace profile. Deprecated –profile is accepted as –agent for transition; @VERSION is dropped.

Flags:

  • --agent stringArray Agent spec [NAME@]BLUEPRINT/PROFILE[:local|global][=RUNTIME] or NAME[:local|global]
  • --blueprint string With --agent/--profile, default public Library blueprint for profile-only selectors; without agents, materialize all profiles in a local blueprint directory
  • --byot Create a customer-controlled AWID team with local namespace controller authority
  • --display-name string Team display name
  • --first-agent-global Enroll the first agent as a global identity, reusing an existing global identity or creating one when founding with hosted/namespace authority
  • --first-agent-local Enroll the first agent as a local team-scoped identity (default)

team extend

team extend

Add agents to an existing team by discovering membership authority. Specs use [NAME@]BLUEPRINT/PROFILE[:local|global][=RUNTIME] or NAME[:local|global] for empty-profile homes. Explicit –api-key/AWEB_API_KEY wins; otherwise the current workspace or an invite-capable agents/instances home is used.

Flags:

  • --api-key string Team API key for extending a team (overrides AWEB_API_KEY)
  • --attach Attach or switch to the tmux session after --start launch (default true)
  • --blueprint string Default public Library blueprint for profile-only selectors (default: AWEB_BLUEPRINT or aweb.team)
  • --global Add a global AWID identity/address-backed agent
  • -h, --help help for extend
  • --library-url string Public Library catalog base URL (default: AWEB_LIBRARY_URL or https://library.aweb.ai)
  • --local Add a local team-scoped agent identity (default)
  • --no-attach Do not attach or switch to the tmux session after --start launch
  • --runtime string Materialization runtime for profile-bound agents (claude-code|codex|pi|local-shell; default claude-code)
  • --session string tmux session name for --start (default: active team name or aw-team)
  • --start Launch the added agent in tmux after materializing it
  • --team-id string Canonical team id (<name>:<namespace>) to extend when discovery is ambiguous or when asserting an API key's team
  • --work-dir string Git repo to use for the agent's worktree (default: repo containing the home, if any)

team invite

team invite

Invite an agent or workspace to the active team.

This creates an invite token using the current team’s authority for a separate workspace or machine, then the joining workspace runs aw team join <token>. For local empty-profile homes under agents/instances/, use aw team add.

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for invite
  • --member-global Create global member invite
  • --member-local Create local workspace member invite (default)
  • --team-id string Canonical team id (<name>:<namespace>) to invite from (defaults to active team)

team join

team join

Join a team from an invite token.

Run this in a clean target directory. It refuses to overwrite an existing .aw identity/key. After joining, run aw init if the output says the workspace still needs to be connected to the service.

Flags:

  • --address string Advanced: existing owned address to place in the global member certificate
  • --global Join by reusing the existing global identity in this workspace
  • -h, --help help for join
  • --local Join with a local workspace identity (default)
  • --name string Member name for the accepting agent (defaults to identity name)
  • --no-address For --global, join with did:aw continuity but no member address

List team memberships for this identity

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for list

team refresh

team refresh

Re-materialize agents/instances/ from the latest version of the profile it was materialized from on the team’s private Library shelf. This closes the learning loop: an approved profile proposal mints a new shelf version, and aw team refresh re-applies it locally and updates .aw/profile/ref.json - so the agent picks up the team’s own improvement. It reads the recorded profile ref locally and never asks a remote service which profile to use.

Upstream blueprint updates are a separate, composable step: run aw library update-from-source first to pull them onto the shelf, then aw team refresh to re-materialize.

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for refresh
  • --home string Agent home directory override (default: agents/instances/<name>)
  • --runtime string Runtime harness to re-materialize for (claude-code|codex|pi|local-shell) (default "claude-code")

team remove-agent

team remove-agent

Remove an agent from a team.

This everyday verb maps to the identity/certificate revocation primitive. Customer-controlled teams revoke with the local team controller key; hosted aweb.ai teams call the cloud-mediated controller revoke endpoint.

Flags:

  • --api-key string Team API key for hosted removal (overrides AWEB_API_KEY; workspace-bound API keys are rejected by hosted aweb)
  • --aweb-url string Hosted aweb API URL override for cloud-mediated removal
  • -h, --help help for remove-agent
  • --registry string Registry origin override
  • --team-id string Canonical team id (<name>:<namespace>) to remove from (defaults to active team)

team switch

team switch

Flags:

  • -h, --help help for switch

team up

team up

Launch local team agents in tmux. This is a local runtime convenience: it reads materialized agents/instances/ homes and starts one tmux window per supported interactive harness. Team definitions and profile provenance remain in aweb state and .aw/profile/ref.json.

Flags:

  • --attach Attach or switch to the tmux session after launch (default true)
  • --dry-run Print the tmux launch plan without running it
  • --force Start even when another process already has an agent home as its cwd
  • --force-kill Allow --recreate to kill a tmux session that contains running agent windows
  • -h, --help help for up
  • --no-attach Do not attach or switch to the tmux session after launch

run

run

Start the requested AI coding agent in this directory.

In a TTY, if this directory is not initialized yet, aw run can guide you through supported onboarding before starting the provider. The explicit bootstrap path is aw init, backed by guided onboarding, hosted signup, or a team certificate already present in .aw/.

Current implementation includes:

  • repeated provider invocations (currently Claude and Codex)
  • provider session continuity when –continue is requested
  • /stop, /wait, /autofeed on|off, /quit, and prompt override controls
  • aw event-stream wakeups for mail, chat, and optional work events
  • optional background services declared in aw run config

This aw-first command intentionally excludes bead-specific dispatch.
