# CLI command reference Every aw command and flag, generated from the live help tree of the shipped binary. # CLI Command Reference This reference is generated from the live Cobra help tree emitted by the `aw` binary built from [`cli/go/cmd/aw/`](../cli/go/cmd/aw). Run [`scripts/regenerate-cli-reference.sh`](../scripts/regenerate-cli-reference.sh) to refresh it. ## Command Families | Family | Commands | | --- | --- | | Workspace Setup | `check`, `claim-human`, `init`, `reset`, `service`, `workspace` | | Identity | `id`, `mcp-config`, `team`, `whoami` | | Messaging & Network | `a2a`, `beads-mail`, `chat`, `contacts`, `control`, `directory`, `events`, `gc-mail`, `heartbeat`, `inbound-mode`, `log`, `mail` | | Coordination & Runtime | `agent`, `instructions`, `lock`, `notify`, `role-name`, `roles`, `run`, `task`, `work` | | Utility | `completion`, `doctor`, `help`, `plugin`, `upgrade`, `version` | | Additional Commands | `blueprint`, `session` | ## Global Flags - `--debug Log background errors to stderr` - `-h, --help help for aw` - `--identity-home string Use identity authority from this absolute credential root` - `--json Output as JSON` - `--server-name string Override the server host or name for this command` - `--trace Trace redacted HTTP requests and responses to stderr` ## `check` ### `check` Check local identity, workspace, team, and service connectivity. This is the everyday setup diagnostic entrypoint. It runs the same checks as `aw doctor` and is safe to run before asking a teammate or support for help. 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` - `--team string Override the selected team_id for this command` - `--verbose Include verbose diagnostic details` ## `claim-human` ### `claim-human` Attach an email address to your CLI-created account Flags: - `--email string Email address to attach to the current CLI-created account` - `-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` - `--name string Identity/member name (global address name with --global, local routing name otherwise)` - `--print-exports Print shell export lines after JSON output` - `--role string Compatibility alias for --role-name` - `--role-name string Workspace role name (must match a role in the active team roles bundle)` - `--setup-channel Set up Claude Code aweb-channel plugin for real-time coordination` - `--setup-hooks Set up Claude Code PostToolUse hook for aw notify` - `--url string Base URL for the aweb server used for init, bootstrap, and hosted onboarding flows` - `--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` ### `workspace delete` Delete a local workspace and its local identity Flags: - `-h, --help help for delete` ## `workspace migrate-multi-team` ### `workspace migrate-multi-team` Rewrite a legacy single-team workspace into the canonical multi-team shape Flags: - `-h, --help help for migrate-multi-team` ## `workspace status` ### `workspace status` Show coordination status for the current workspace/identity and team Flags: - `--all Show all local team memberships in addition to the selected team status` - `-h, --help help for status` - `--limit int Maximum team workspaces to show (default 50)` ## `id` ### `id` Identity lifecycle, registry, settings, and key management Subcommands: - `address` Manage addresses for the current global identity - `addresses` List registry addresses for a did:aw (defaults to the current global identity) - `cert` Team certificate operations - `create` Create a global identity by claiming a namespace address - `encryption-key` Manage local E2E encryption keys for this self-custodial identity - `grant` Scoped, expiring session grants derived from this identity - `log` Show an identity log - `namespace` Protocol/admin namespace controller and address operations - `register` Register the current global identity at the configured registry - `request` Make a DIDKey-signed HTTP request with the local identity key - `resolve` Resolve a did:aw to its current did:key - `rotate-key` Rotate the current global identity signing key at the registry - `show` Show the current identity and registry status - `sign` Sign a canonical JSON payload with the local identity key - `team` Team membership plus protocol/admin certificate operations - `verify` Verify the full audit log for a did:aw Flags: - `-h, --help help for id` ## `id address` ### `id address` Manage addresses for the current global identity Subcommands: - `claim` Claim an additional address for the current global identity Flags: - `-h, --help help for address` ## `id address claim` ### `id address claim` Claim an additional address for the current global identity Flags: - `-h, --help help for claim` - `--registry string Registry origin override` ## `id addresses` ### `id addresses` List registry addresses for a did:aw (defaults to the current global identity) Flags: - `-h, --help help for addresses` ## `id cert` ### `id cert` Team certificate operations Subcommands: - `show` Show the current team certificate Flags: - `-h, --help help for cert` ## `id cert show` ### `id cert show` Show the current team certificate Flags: - `-h, --help help for show` ## `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)` - `--skip-dns-verify Skip the DNS TXT verification prompt and lookup` ## `id encryption-key` ### `id encryption-key` Manage local E2E encryption keys for this self-custodial identity Subcommands: - `rotate` Rotate the local E2E encryption key while keeping archived keys - `setup` Create or publish the local E2E encryption key for this identity - `show` Show local E2E encryption key state Flags: - `-h, --help help for encryption-key` ## `id encryption-key rotate` ### `id encryption-key rotate` Rotate the local E2E encryption key while keeping archived keys Flags: - `-h, --help help for rotate` ## `id encryption-key setup` ### `id encryption-key setup` Create or publish the local E2E encryption key for this identity Flags: - `-h, --help help for setup` ## `id encryption-key show` ### `id encryption-key show` Show local E2E encryption key state Flags: - `-h, --help help for show` ## `id grant` ### `id grant` Scoped, expiring session grants derived from this identity Subcommands: - `list` List this identity's session grants - `mint` Mint a session grant and write a self-contained grant home - `revoke` Revoke a session grant - `show` Show one session grant Flags: - `-h, --help help for grant` ## `id grant list` ### `id grant list` List this identity's session grants Flags: - `-h, --help help for list` ## `id grant mint` ### `id grant mint` Mint a session grant and write a self-contained grant home Flags: - `-h, --help help for mint` - `--label string Optional label for the grant` - `--out string Directory to write the grant home (created fresh; a non-empty directory is refused)` - `--scope stringArray Grant scope, repeatable or comma-separated (mail.read, mail.send, chat.read, chat.send)` - `--ttl duration Grant duration before expiry (60s to 720h) (default 8h0m0s)` ## `id grant revoke` ### `id grant revoke` Revoke a session grant Flags: - `-h, --help help for revoke` ## `id grant show` ### `id grant show` Show one session grant Flags: - `-h, --help help for show` ## `id log` ### `id log` Display rotation and status history. Without arguments, shows your own log. Flags: - `-h, --help help for log` ## `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. Warning: double-quoted shell arguments expand backticks and $(...) before aw runs; use --body-file for Markdown or command examples` - `--body-file string Read request body from a file; safe for Markdown or command examples` - `--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 Subcommands: - `recover` Reconcile and safely finish a pending identity key rotation - `status` Inspect pending identity key rotation state without changing it Flags: - `-h, --help help for rotate-key` ## `id rotate-key recover` ### `id rotate-key recover` Reconcile and safely finish a pending identity key rotation Flags: - `-h, --help help for recover` ## `id rotate-key status` ### `id rotate-key status` Inspect pending identity key rotation state without changing it Flags: - `-h, --help help for status` ## `id show` ### `id show` Show the current identity and registry status 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 - `reissue-cert` Protocol/admin: mint and register a fresh certificate for the same member key - `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` ### `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 (:); 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 (:)` - `--timestamp string RFC3339 timestamp to sign (defaults to now; accepted for five minutes by service)` ## `id team reissue-cert` ### `id team reissue-cert` Mint, register, and (optionally) install a fresh team certificate for an existing member, keeping the member's did:key, alias, and identity scope unchanged. This is the remedy for a lost or never-registered certificate blob: the signed blob cannot be reconstructed, so the team controller signs a fresh certificate (new certificate id, fresh issued_at) for the same member key. If the registry holds an active certificate for the alias, it is revoked first and the fresh one is registered after, so the registry's one-active-certificate-per-alias constraint is never violated. If none is registered, the fresh certificate is simply registered. Re-running after a partial failure is safe: a run that revoked but died before registering finds no active certificate and registers; a run against an already-reissued member revokes the current certificate and swaps in a fresh one. Revoking the old certificate invalidates any grants issued under it, and the member's server projection refreshes at its next certificate-authenticated connect, so expect the member to reconnect. This is NOT key rotation: the member keeps its did:key, and the command refuses to run when the registered member key differs from the one attested. For a lost or compromised member KEY, use `aw team admin replace-key` instead. Requires the locally-held team controller key (BYOT/local-controller teams). Hosted aweb.ai teams keep the controller key in cloud custody; hosted re-issuance runs through the hosted service or operator support. Pass --home to verify the member's local home and install the fresh blob there; without --home the command prints the blob and where the member must place it. Flags: - `--address string Global member address when no registered certificate states it; requires --did-aw` - `--did string Member did:key the fresh certificate binds (required unless --home is supplied)` - `--did-aw string Global member did:aw when no registered certificate states it` - `--global Assert global identity scope` - `-h, --help help for reissue-cert` - `--home string Member home whose signing key attests the did:key and where the fresh certificate is installed` - `--local Assert local identity scope (default when no registered certificate states it)` - `--namespace string Namespace domain` - `--registry string Registry origin override` - `--team string Team name` ## `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 (:)` ## `id team switch` ### `id team switch` Switch the active team for this identity Flags: - `-h, --help help for switch` ## `id verify` ### `id verify` Verify the full audit log for a did:aw 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 to invite a member, join or leave a team, and inspect or switch this identity's installed memberships. Local agent orchestration, profile management, and owner/admin repair operations live under `aw team admin`. Subcommands: - `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 - `switch` Switch the active team for this identity - `admin` Experimental local orchestration and team administration Flags: - `-h, --help help for team` ## `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 `. For local empty-profile homes under agents/instances/, use `aw team admin 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 (:) 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. Join installs the identity and membership, then connects this workspace to the aweb service carried by the invite. Use --no-connect only when you intentionally want identity state without a workspace binding. 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` - `--no-connect Install identity and membership without connecting this workspace` ## `team leave` ### `team leave` Remove a team membership from this identity Flags: - `-h, --help help for leave` ## `team list` ### `team list` List team memberships for this identity Flags: - `-h, --help help for list` ## `team switch` ### `team switch` Switch the active team for this identity Flags: - `-h, --help help for switch` ## `team admin` ### `team admin` Experimental local orchestration and team administration. Use this surface to materialize or launch local agent homes, manage their pinned profiles, or perform owner/admin inspection and repair. These operations are separate from the everyday invite, join, list, switch, and leave journey. 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 - `refresh` Refresh a team member's profile and existing team-instructions block - `up` Launch local team agents in tmux - `agent-status` Read whether an agent still holds a certificate, a workspace, or task claims - `remove-agent` Retire an agent: release its claims, then revoke its certificate - `replace-key` Replace a local agent identity key under team-controller authority Flags: - `-h, --help help for admin` ## `team admin add` ### `team admin 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/)` - `--layout-only Only create agents/instances/; 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: caller's session inside tmux, otherwise 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 admin adopt` ### `team admin 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 admin 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/)` ## `team admin create` ### `team admin 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 admin 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)` - `--first-agent-name string Initial workspace member name (defaults to )` - `-h, --help help for create` - `--home string Agent home directory override for single-agent --profile create` - `--library-url string Public Library catalog base URL (default: AWEB_LIBRARY_URL or https://library.aweb.ai)` - `--name string Team name` - `--namespace string Namespace domain for --byot` - `--profile stringArray Deprecated alias for --agent; use [NAME@]BLUEPRINT/PROFILE[:local|global][=RUNTIME]` - `--registry string Registry origin override for --byot` - `--runtime string Materialization runtime for agent/profile homes (claude-code|codex|pi|local-shell; default claude-code)` - `--service string Hosted service URL for dashboard guidance` - `--username string Hosted username to create when founding through managed aweb onboarding` ## `team admin extend` ### `team admin 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 or --team-id with AWEB_API_KEY wins. An ambient AWEB_API_KEY in a workspace with an active team uses that team as an assertion against the API key's team; explicit --api-key bypasses the workspace assertion. 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: caller's session inside tmux, otherwise active team name or aw-team)` - `--start Launch the added agent in tmux after materializing it` - `--team-id string Canonical team id (:) 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 admin refresh` ### `team admin 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 admin 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. When the home already has exactly one complete AWEB:START/AWEB:END block, refresh also re-injects the active team instructions. It never creates that block in an unmarked home; use `aw instructions inject ` when an explicit backfill is intended. Upstream blueprint updates are a separate, composable step: run `aw library update-from-source` first to pull them onto the shelf, then `aw team admin refresh` to re-materialize. Flags: - `-h, --help help for refresh` - `--home string Agent home directory override (default: agents/instances/)` - `--runtime string Runtime harness to re-materialize for (claude-code|codex|pi|local-shell) (default "claude-code")` ## `team admin up` ### `team admin 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` - `--recreate Kill and recreate an existing tmux session` - `--session string tmux session name (default: caller's session inside tmux, otherwise active team name or aw-team)` ## `team admin agent-status` ### `team admin agent-status` Read the state of one agent across the stores retirement has to clear. This reads and never writes. It exists so that the evidence an agent is retired comes from somewhere other than the command that retired it. Flags: - `-h, --help help for agent-status` - `--team-id string Canonical team id (:) to read from (defaults to active team)` ## `team admin remove-agent` ### `team admin remove-agent` Retire an agent from a team across the stores that hold its state. It first deletes the agent's workspace record, which releases the task claims held under it, and only then revokes its certificate. That order matters: an agent can release its own claims until its certificate is revoked, and the legacy hosted remove-member path can delete the same workspace record without releasing anything. The prepared hosted-local path preserves the same order. If the claims cannot be released the command stops before revoking and says which store changed and which did not, rather than leaving an agent with no credential and claims nobody can clear. To revoke access immediately and accept that outcome, use `aw id team remove-member`. Customer-controlled teams revoke with the local team controller key. Hosted local members first prepare an immutable workspace/agent/certificate operation, persist non-secret recovery state, release exact coordination state, and commit cloud-mediated revocation. Use --resume-operation after a partial failure, --list-pending when local recovery state is lost, or --abort-operation only before release. Addressed/global hosted members retain the exact-certificate path. STATUS VALUES. These are a contract; branch on them rather than on the prose. Each says what its evidence supports, and the second column is the part that matters, because the defect this command was built to remove was a status word asserting more than the service had established. status (whole retirement) retired every store reached the state retirement wants, and each one established it. Exit 0. reported_retired every store reached that state, but the certificate part rests on a service reporting a no-op. It does NOT mean no certificate exists. Exit 0. Confirm with agent-status. incomplete a store did not reach that state; the per-store results say which. Exit non-zero. certificate_result revoked this call revoked a certificate. already_revoked the registry stated the certificate exists and was already revoked. Only a registry says this; it is never inferred from an absence. reported_nothing_to_revoke the service reported it had nothing to revoke. This says NOTHING about whether a certificate exists: the hosted service answers from its own membership records and may never consult the registry, so a member holding a live certificate with no hosted record is reported this way. per-store result: changed, unchanged, blocked, failed, not_attempted. changed and unchanged are terminal; the other three are not. claims_released is null when the server did not report a count, which is what a server older than that field does. Null is not zero. Exit status answers one question only: did the request reach the service and get an answer. It never carries a claim about certificate state. So on a customer-controlled team, retiring a name that no longer resolves is an error rather than a no-op, because that answer is indistinguishable from a request that never arrived - while a registry saying already-revoked is success. Flags: - `--abort-operation string Abort exact hosted removal operation ID before coordination release` - `--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` - `--list-pending List owner/admin hosted removal operations requiring recovery` - `--registry string Registry origin override` - `--resume-operation string Resume exact hosted removal operation ID; no member address is accepted` - `--team-id string Canonical team id (:) to remove from (defaults to active team)` ## `team admin replace-key` ### `team admin replace-key` Replace a local team-scoped agent's did:key under locally-held team-controller authority. This compare-and-swap operation updates the service roster, revokes the old team certificate, registers a new certificate, and records the controller-authorized transition. When a real local home has lost signing.key, --generate-new-key creates and retains a replacement key without overwriting an existing one. Hosted teams require the pending AC owner/admin integration or operator support. Flags: - `--aweb-url string Aweb service URL override` - `--generate-new-key Generate a replacement signing key in --home when signing.key is absent (cannot be combined with --new-did-key)` - `-h, --help help for replace-key` - `--home string Agent home whose new signing identity is verified and where the replacement certificate is installed` - `--new-did-key string Replacement local member did:key (required unless --generate-new-key is used)` - `--old-cert-id string Old team certificate id (required without --home)` - `--old-did-key string Expected current local member did:key (required)` - `--registry string AWID registry URL override` - `--team-id string Canonical team id (:; defaults to active team)` ## `whoami` ### `whoami` Show the current identity Flags: - `-h, --help help for whoami` - `--team string Override the selected team_id for this command` ## `a2a` ### `a2a` Inspect and call A2A agents Subcommands: - `cancel` Cancel an A2A task - `card` Fetch and verify an A2A Agent Card - `publish` Publish an A2A Agent Card route to AWID - `send` Send a task message to an A2A agent - `status` Fetch an A2A task Flags: - `-h, --help help for a2a` ## `a2a cancel` ### `a2a cancel` Cancel an A2A task Flags: - `-h, --help help for cancel` ## `a2a card` ### `a2a card` Fetch and verify an A2A Agent Card Flags: - `--address string aweb address to verify through AWID, e.g. acme.com/help` - `-h, --help help for card` - `--registry-url string AWID registry URL for verification` ## `a2a publish` ### `a2a publish` Publish an A2A Agent Card route to AWID Flags: - `--address string aweb address to publish; defaults to current identity address` - `--assertion-id string Publication assertion id override` - `--card-revision string Card revision recorded in AWID; defaults to Agent Card version` - `--default-for-host Mark this route as the default A2A route for the host` - `--delegation-id string Bridge delegation id override` - `--expires-days int Publication/delegation lifetime in days (default 30)` - `--gateway-identity string did:aw of the A2A gateway identity; defaults to current identity for direct publication` - `-h, --help help for publish` - `--registry-url string AWID registry URL override` - `--route-id string Route id override; defaults to the card URL route` - `--rpc-url string RPC URL override; defaults to supportedInterfaces[0].url` ## `a2a send` ### `a2a send` Send a task message to an A2A agent. Warning: double-quoted shell arguments expand backticks and $(...) before aw runs; use --body-file for Markdown or command examples Flags: - `--body-file string Read message body from a file; safe for Markdown or command examples` - `--context string A2A context ID` - `--data string Additional JSON metadata object` - `-h, --help help for send` - `--no-wait Return immediately after task creation` - `--wait Wait for terminal or interrupted task state` ## `a2a status` ### `a2a status` Fetch an A2A task Flags: - `-h, --help help for status` - `--history int History length to request; -1 uses server default (default -1)` ## `beads-mail` ### `beads-mail` Mail for beads, no orchestrator required. beads ships a 'bd mail' command that delegates to an external mail provider. This is that provider, backed by aweb: durable delivery, offline recipients, and cryptographically verified sender identity. Setup, once per repo: npm i -g @awebai/aw aw init bd config set mail.delegate "aw beads-mail" Then 'bd mail send', 'bd mail inbox', and friends work. Recipients run the same three lines. Map beads-style names to aweb addresses in .beads/aweb-mail.toml; addresses containing a domain (acme.com/reviewer) need no mapping. Two things to know that differ from 'gt mail': - 'bd mail' swallows --help anywhere in the arguments, so use 'bd mail help ' (or 'aw beads-mail --help') for per-verb help. - 'bd mail check' always exits 0 when the probe worked; branch on its output or --json, not the exit code. Nonzero means a real failure. Optional in-session wake-ups when mail arrives: aw init --setup-channel. Subcommands: - `announces` Not supported in v1 - `archive` Not supported: the beads graph is the archive - `check` Check for unread mail (for hooks) - `claim` Not supported in v1: no message queues - `clear` Not supported: server mail expires on its own - `delete` Not supported: server mail expires on its own - `drain` Not supported in v1 - `help` Show help for a beads-mail verb ('bd mail' swallows --help; this reaches us) - `inbox` List unread messages (read-only; reading is what marks read) - `mark-read` Mark messages as read - `mark-unread` Not supported: read state cannot be cleared - `peek` Preview the first unread message without marking it read - `read` Read a message and mark it read - `release` Not supported in v1: no message queues - `reply` Reply to a message - `search` Not supported in v1: no server-side mail search - `send` Send a message - `thread` View a message thread (oldest first) Flags: - `-h, --help help for beads-mail` ## `beads-mail announces` ### `beads-mail announces` Not supported in v1 Flags: - `-h, --help help for announces` ## `beads-mail archive` ### `beads-mail archive` Not supported: the beads graph is the archive Flags: - `-h, --help help for archive` ## `beads-mail check` ### `beads-mail check` Probe for unread mail without changing anything. Exit code 0 means the probe worked, whether or not mail is waiting — branch on the output or --json, not the exit code (gt mail check exits 1 on an empty inbox; this deliberately does not, so a real failure is never mistaken for "no mail"). Nonzero exits are real errors only. For Claude Code hooks, --inject emits the PostToolUse hook JSON envelope when mail is waiting and nothing otherwise. In-session wake-ups without polling: aw init --setup-channel. Flags: - `-h, --help help for check` - `--inject Output the Claude Code PostToolUse hook envelope when mail is waiting` - `--json Output as JSON: {"unread": N, "has_more": bool}` ## `beads-mail claim` ### `beads-mail claim` Not supported in v1: no message queues Flags: - `-h, --help help for claim` ## `beads-mail clear` ### `beads-mail clear` Not supported: server mail expires on its own Flags: - `-h, --help help for clear` ## `beads-mail delete` ### `beads-mail delete` Not supported: server mail expires on its own Flags: - `-h, --help help for delete` ## `beads-mail drain` ### `beads-mail drain` Not supported in v1 Flags: - `-h, --help help for drain` ## `beads-mail help` ### `beads-mail help` Show help for a beads-mail verb ('bd mail' swallows --help; this reaches us) Flags: - `-h, --help help for help` ## `beads-mail inbox` ### `beads-mail inbox` List unread messages (read-only; reading is what marks read) Flags: - `-a, --all Show all messages, read and unread (gt's default view)` - `--cursor string Continue a previous listing from its printed cursor` - `-h, --help help for inbox` - `--json Output as JSON` - `-u, --unread Show only unread messages (the default)` ## `beads-mail mark-read` ### `beads-mail mark-read` Mark messages as read Flags: - `--all Mark all unread messages as read` - `-h, --help help for mark-read` ## `beads-mail mark-unread` ### `beads-mail mark-unread` Not supported: read state cannot be cleared Flags: - `-h, --help help for mark-unread` ## `beads-mail peek` ### `beads-mail peek` Preview the first unread message without marking it read Flags: - `-h, --help help for peek` ## `beads-mail read` ### `beads-mail read` Read one message by id, or by its number in the most recent inbox listing. Reading marks the message read (unlike gt mail read, which does not) because read state drives the wake path here; use peek or thread for a look that changes nothing. Flags: - `-h, --help help for read` - `--json Output as JSON (raw message, envelope included)` ## `beads-mail release` ### `beads-mail release` Not supported in v1: no message queues Flags: - `-h, --help help for release` ## `beads-mail reply` ### `beads-mail reply` Reply to a message Flags: - `--body string Alias for --message` - `-h, --help help for reply` - `-m, --message string Reply message body` - `--stdin Read the reply body from stdin (delegate extension; gt reply lacks it, but shell-unsafe bodies need it)` - `-s, --subject string Override reply subject (default: Re: )` ## `beads-mail search` ### `beads-mail search` Not supported in v1: no server-side mail search Flags: - `-h, --help help for search` ## `beads-mail send` ### `beads-mail send` Send mail to a beads-style name (mapped in .beads/aweb-mail.toml), an aweb address like acme.aweb.ai/reviewer, or a did:aw identity. The resolved address is always shown: mail goes out under this workspace's cryptographically verified identity.

Gas City's mail is pluggable: GC_MAIL=exec: makes gc delegate every mail operation to a command. This is that command, backed by aweb — durable delivery, recipients who can be offline, and messages signed by a cryptographically verifiable identity. Setup, once per city: npm i -g @awebai/aw aw init export GC_MAIL=exec:aw-gc-mail 'aw-gc-mail' is installed by the same npm package and runs this command. GC_MAIL names a single command with no arguments, which is why the launcher exists; 'exec:aw gc-mail' would look for a program literally named "aw gc-mail". This command speaks gc's JSON protocol on stdin/stdout. It is meant to be run by gc, not by hand — but every operation is a plain subcommand, so 'aw gc-mail inbox' works for a look, and 'aw gc-mail resolve ' shows where a recipient name would actually go. Optional in-session wake-ups when mail arrives: aw init --setup-channel. Subcommands: - `all` List all messages, read and unread, as JSON - `archive` Not supported: aweb mail is delivery, not storage - `check` List unread messages as JSON without marking anything read - `count` Report {"total":N,"unread":N} for this workspace - `delete` Not supported: aweb mail is delivery, not storage - `ensure-running` Readiness probe (no-op: gc discards this operation's result) - `get` Fetch one message as JSON without marking it read - `inbox` List unread messages as JSON (read-only) - `mark-read` Mark one message read - `mark-unread` Not supported: read state cannot be cleared - `read` Fetch one message as JSON and mark it read - `reply` Reply into a message's conversation (JSON on stdin, JSON message on stdout) - `resolve` Show the aweb address a recipient name resolves to - `send` Send a message (JSON on stdin, JSON message on stdout) - `thread` List a conversation's messages as JSON, oldest first Flags: - `-h, --help help for gc-mail` ## `gc-mail all` ### `gc-mail all` Lists one page of this workspace's mail, read and unread. gc's Provider documents this as "all open messages"; aweb has no open/closed state, so it is every message the inbox still holds within the server's retention window. Flags: - `-h, --help help for all` ## `gc-mail archive` ### `gc-mail archive` Not supported: aweb mail is delivery, not storage Flags: - `-h, --help help for archive` ## `gc-mail check` ### `gc-mail check` Identical to 'inbox' here: both are read-only unread listings. gc keeps the two operations apart because a backend's inbox may mark messages read; this one never does. Flags: - `-h, --help help for check` ## `gc-mail count` ### `gc-mail count` Counts this workspace's mail. "Total" counts what the inbox holds inside the server's retention window — aweb mail is delivery, not an archive, so it is not a cumulative all-time total. Counting stops after 4000 messages; a larger inbox reports that ceiling rather than a wrong number. Flags: - `-h, --help help for count` ## `gc-mail delete` ### `gc-mail delete` Not supported: aweb mail is delivery, not storage Flags: - `-h, --help help for delete` ## `gc-mail ensure-running` ### `gc-mail ensure-running` gc calls this once, before the first operation of a provider instance, and throws away both its output and its exit status. There is nothing useful to report through a channel nobody reads, so this succeeds immediately. Run 'aw doctor' or 'aw gc-mail inbox' to check the setup for real. Flags: - `-h, --help help for ensure-running` ## `gc-mail get` ### `gc-mail get` Fetches one message by id and leaves its read state alone. Visible for messages this workspace sent as well as received. Flags: - `-h, --help help for get` ## `gc-mail inbox` ### `gc-mail inbox` Lists this workspace's unread mail as a JSON array. Read-only: nothing is marked read here. gc passes the mailbox it wants ($GC_SESSION_ID, $GC_ALIAS, $GC_AGENT, or "human"). This workspace has exactly one aweb identity, so the argument is accepted and ignored — every gc session in this city shares one inbox. That is the design record's §5 limitation, not a bug. Flags: - `-h, --help help for inbox` ## `gc-mail mark-read` ### `gc-mail mark-read` Marks one message read without displaying it. Emits nothing on success; gc's protocol expects no output from this operation. Flags: - `-h, --help help for mark-read` ## `gc-mail mark-unread` ### `gc-mail mark-unread` Not supported: read state cannot be cleared Flags: - `-h, --help help for mark-unread` ## `gc-mail read` ### `gc-mail read` Fetches one message by id and marks it read. Reading is what marks read here, because aweb's read state drives the unread count and the wake path: a displayed message that stayed unread would keep re-firing. If the acknowledgement fails, this exits nonzero rather than reporting a message as read that is not. Flags: - `-h, --help help for read` ## `gc-mail reply` ### `gc-mail reply` Reads {"from":...,"subject":...,"body":...} on stdin and sends the body into the conversation that belongs to, then marks that message read. An empty subject becomes "Re: ". The reply goes to the conversation's counterparty by construction; there is no recipient argument to get wrong. Flags: - `-h, --help help for reply` ## `gc-mail resolve` ### `gc-mail resolve` Prints where a gc recipient name would actually deliver, without sending anything. This is the disclosure surface for the optional per-city map in .gc/aweb-mail.toml: gc's exec protocol gives a provider no way to print a "sent to X -> Y" line during 'gc mail send', so the resolution is inspectable here instead. Flags: - `-h, --help help for resolve` ## `gc-mail send` ### `gc-mail send` Reads {"from":...,"subject":...,"body":...} on stdin and sends the body to under this workspace's verified aweb identity. The "from" field is gc's local mailbox name; it is recorded nowhere as sender identity, because sender identity here is cryptographic rather than asserted. The message returned on stdout carries the RESOLVED aweb address in its "to" field, which is how 'gc mail send --json' and 'gc mail read' disclose where a mapped name actually delivered. Flags: - `-h, --help help for send` ## `gc-mail thread` ### `gc-mail thread` Renders one conversation as a JSON array, oldest first. The argument may be an aweb conversation id (what this provider reports as thread_id) or any message id inside it. Flags: - `-h, --help help for thread` ## `heartbeat` ### `heartbeat` Send an explicit presence heartbeat Flags: - `-h, --help help for heartbeat` - `--team string Override the selected team_id for this command` ## `inbound-mode` ### `inbound-mode` Show or set the current agent's inbound delivery mode Flags: - `-h, --help help for inbound-mode` - `--team string Override the selected team_id for this command` ## `log` ### `log` Show local communication log Flags: - `--channel string Filter by channel (mail, chat, dm)` - `--from string Filter by sender (substring match)` - `-h, --help help for log` - `--limit int Max entries to show (default 20)` - `--team string Override the selected team_id for this command` ## `mail` ### `mail` Agent messaging Subcommands: - `ack` Acknowledge one mail message as read - `inbox` List inbox messages (unread only by default) - `reply` Reply to an existing mail conversation - `send` Send a message to another agent - `show` Show a mail conversation or exact message Flags: - `-h, --help help for mail` - `--team string Override the selected team_id for this command` ## `mail ack` ### `mail ack` Acknowledge one mail message as read Flags: - `-h, --help help for ack` ## `mail inbox` ### `mail inbox` List inbox messages, newest first and unread only by default. Messages shown by this command are acknowledged as read. The response is one bounded page. Text output reports when more messages exist and prints a continuation command; JSON output carries has_more and next_cursor. Pass the returned value to --cursor to continue without overlap. Flags: - `--cursor string Continue from next_cursor in a previous inbox response` - `-h, --help help for inbox` - `--limit int Max messages per page (default 50)` - `--show-all Show all messages including already-read` ## `mail reply` ### `mail reply` Reply to an existing mail conversation Flags: - `--body string Body. Warning: double-quoted shell arguments expand backticks and $(...) before aw runs; use --body-file for Markdown or command examples` - `--body-file string Read message body from a file; safe for Markdown or command examples` - `--e2ee Send E2E encrypted mail; fails closed if encryption keys are missing` - `-h, --help help for reply` - `--plaintext Send explicit server-readable plaintext mail (currently the default)` - `--priority string Priority: low|normal|high|urgent (default "normal")` - `--subject string Subject` ## `mail send` ### `mail send` Send a message to another agent Flags: - `--body string Body. Warning: double-quoted shell arguments expand backticks and $(...) before aw runs; use --body-file for Markdown or command examples` - `--body-file string Read message body from a file; safe for Markdown or command examples` - `--conversation-id string Existing mail conversation to continue` - `--e2ee Send E2E encrypted mail; fails closed if encryption keys are missing` - `-h, --help help for send` - `--plaintext Send explicit server-readable plaintext mail (currently the default)` - `--priority string Priority: low|normal|high|urgent (default "normal")` - `--subject string Subject` - `--to string Recipient name within the active team, or a routable address` - `--to-address string Recipient address (domain/name)` - `--to-did string Recipient stable identity (did:aw:...)` ## `mail show` ### `mail show` Show mail by conversation or exact message ID. With --message-id, one unique message is selected. The conversation-window direction and 500-message ceiling below do not apply. With --conversation-id, --limit caps how many messages are returned and defaults to 200. The messages returned are the OLDEST ones, so on a conversation longer than the limit the newest messages are the ones missing - which is the opposite of what someone checking for recent mail expects. aw mail inbox windows from the other end and has a different default and ceiling. Do not carry an expectation from one command to the other. To read a whole conversation, pass --limit above its length and check the returned count. If it equals the limit, there may be more; raise it and re-run, up to 500. At the 500-message ceiling, an exact full window cannot establish completeness. The conversation endpoint rejects higher limits and has no paging flag, so a conversation longer than 500 messages cannot be returned whole by this command. Flags: - `--conversation-id string Mail conversation to inspect` - `-h, --help help for show` - `--limit int For --conversation-id, max messages from the OLDEST end; exact --message-id reads are not windowed (default 200)` - `--message-id string Legacy mail message to inspect` ## `agent` ### `agent` Inspect local materialized agent homes under agents/instances/. Subcommands: - `profile` Inspect the Library profile recorded in a local agent home Flags: - `-h, --help help for agent` ## `agent profile` ### `agent profile` Inspect the Library profile recorded in a local agent home Subcommands: - `show` Show the recorded profile ref/snapshot (.aw/profile/ref.json) for a materialized agent Flags: - `-h, --help help for profile` ## `agent profile show` ### `agent profile show` Show the Library profile a local agent home was materialized from - the blueprint and profile refs, versions, and content digests recorded in .aw/profile/ref.json. This is what `aw team admin refresh` updates and what the materialize seam records; it never asks a remote service which profile is in use. Flags: - `-h, --help help for show` - `--home string Agent home directory override (default: agents/instances/)` ## `instructions` ### `instructions` Read and manage shared team instructions Subcommands: - `activate` Activate an existing shared team instructions version - `history` List shared team instructions history - `inject` Inject current team instructions into agent docs - `reset` Reset shared team instructions to the server default - `set` Create and activate a new shared team instructions version - `show` Show shared team instructions Flags: - `-h, --help help for instructions` - `--team string Override the selected team_id for this command` ## `instructions activate` ### `instructions activate` Activate an existing shared team instructions version Flags: - `-h, --help help for activate` ## `instructions history` ### `instructions history` List shared team instructions history Flags: - `-h, --help help for history` - `--limit int Max instruction versions (default 20)` ## `instructions inject` ### `instructions inject` Fetch the active team instructions through the current workspace and replace the target's marker-delimited block. The exact target defaults to the current directory. This explicit operation also adds the block when the target is not yet marked. Flags: - `-h, --help help for inject` ## `instructions reset` ### `instructions reset` Reset shared team instructions to the server default Flags: - `-h, --help help for reset` ## `instructions set` ### `instructions set` Create and activate a new shared team instructions version Flags: - `--body string Instructions Markdown body. Warning: double-quoted shell arguments expand backticks and $(...) before aw runs; use --body-file for Markdown or command examples` - `--body-file string Read instructions Markdown from a file ('-' for stdin); safe for Markdown or command examples` - `-h, --help help for set` ## `instructions show` ### `instructions show` Show shared team instructions Flags: - `-h, --help help for show` ## `lock` ### `lock` Distributed locks Subcommands: - `acquire` Acquire a lock - `list` List active locks - `release` Release a lock - `renew` Renew a lock - `revoke` Revoke locks Flags: - `-h, --help help for lock` - `--team string Override the selected team_id for this command` ## `lock acquire` ### `lock acquire` Acquire a lock Flags: - `-h, --help help for acquire` - `--resource-key string Opaque resource key` - `--ttl-seconds int TTL seconds (default 3600)` ## `lock list` ### `lock list` List active locks Flags: - `-h, --help help for list` - `--mine Show only locks held by the current workspace name` - `--prefix string Prefix filter` ## `lock release` ### `lock release` Release a lock Flags: - `-h, --help help for release` - `--resource-key string Opaque resource key` ## `lock renew` ### `lock renew` Renew a lock Flags: - `-h, --help help for renew` - `--resource-key string Opaque resource key` - `--ttl-seconds int TTL seconds (default 3600)` ## `lock revoke` ### `lock revoke` Revoke locks Flags: - `-h, --help help for revoke` - `--prefix string Optional prefix filter` ## `notify` ### `notify` Check for pending chat notifications. Silent if no pending chats; outputs JSON with additionalContext if there are messages waiting. Designed for Claude Code PostToolUse hooks so notifications are surfaced to the agent automatically. Hook configuration in .claude/settings.json (set up via aw init --setup-hooks): "hooks": { "PostToolUse": [{ "matcher": ".*", "hooks": [{"type": "command", "command": "aw notify"}] }] } Flags: - `-h, --help help for notify` - `--team string Override the selected team_id for this command` ## `role-name` ### `role-name` The role name is this workspace's operating responsibility on this team. It is initialized from the materialized profile during setup, but remains independently mutable. Changing it does not change which profile the workspace runs or grant additional authority. Subcommands: - `set` Set the current workspace operating role Flags: - `-h, --help help for role-name` - `--team string Override the selected team_id for this command` ## `role-name set` ### `role-name set` Set the current workspace operating role. The role name is this workspace's operating responsibility on this team. It is initialized from the materialized profile during setup, but remains independently mutable. Changing it does not change which profile the workspace runs or grant additional authority. Flags: - `-h, --help help for set` ## `roles` ### `roles` Read and manage team roles bundles and role definitions Subcommands: - `activate` Activate an existing team roles bundle version - `add` Add or update one role in the active team roles bundle - `deactivate` Deactivate team roles by replacing the active bundle with an empty bundle - `history` List team roles history - `list` List roles defined in the active team roles bundle - `reset` Reset team roles to the server default bundle - `set` Create and activate a new team roles bundle version - `show` Show role guidance from the active team roles bundle Flags: - `-h, --help help for roles` - `--team string Override the selected team_id for this command` ## `roles activate` ### `roles activate` Activate an existing team roles bundle version Flags: - `-h, --help help for activate` ## `roles add` ### `roles add` Add or update one role in the active team roles bundle. This is the novice-friendly way to build a roles bundle from resource-pack role Markdown files one role at a time.
