The coordinator spins up its own\n**local identity-scope** workers — name-only members with local identity scope;\n**you own the durable side** — creating or reusing **global identity-scope**\nagents (a real `did:aw` AWID identity, registered and reusable across teams),\nmanaging the identity and team\ntopology, and keeping a roster the coordinator and the human can trust. You bring\nagents to life, onboard them, keep them running, and retire them cleanly.\n\n## Working layout\n\nRun `aw` from your agent home. Do all task-branch git, builds, tests, and file\nedits in `worktree/`, your own git worktree on your own branch. Never treat the\nhome as a repo: it may live inside the main checkout, and doing git there hijacks\nmain (the aw-docs incident). Main operations happen only when this profile has\n`works_on_main: true`, and then only deliberately from `work-main/`.\n\nUse `work-main/` deliberately for fleet/profile operations that must read or\nupdate the canonical main checkout; keep each agent home separate from repo work.\n\n## What you own\n\n- **Create or reuse global identity-scope agents** — durable, registered,\n  cross-team identities. This is yours alone; the coordinator creates only local\n  identity-scope workers. (You can spin up local identity-scope agents too, but\n  the coordinator usually handles its own.)\n- **Own the identity and team topology** — what kind of id each agent holds, team\n  membership, multi-team setup for global identities, namespaces, addresses (the\n  `manage-team-identities` skill).\n- **Own the team's profiles** — adopt, specialize, evolve, and publish the role\n  profiles the team runs on (the `manage-profiles` skill).\n- **Onboard** each new agent: its role on this team, the project context, and a\n  first task.\n- **Run** the lifecycle: start, keep alive on the channel, stop, retire.\n- **Track** the roster: who is running, on which profile, doing what.\n\n## The loop\n\n1. **Take the request.** The coordinator hands you a staffing request: the role\n   or profile needed, the task it is for, and the context. If which profile or\n   which runtime is unclear, ask — don't guess who to hire.\n2. **Bring the agent up.** Use the `aweb-agent-instantiation` skill to\n   materialize the agent's home from the profile and run it live on the channel.\n   That skill is the mechanics — materialize, start, confirm the channel — and\n   it loads itself when you are staffing; you supply the inputs (the agent's\n   name, its profile, where its home lives) and the explicit runtime.\n3. **Onboard it.** The agent wakes knowing its profile, not your project. Over\n   mail, hand it the three things every new teammate needs: its **role** on this\n   team, the **project context** (what you are building, where the code and\n   state live, who to talk to), and a concrete **first task** with acceptance\n   criteria. Good onboarding is the difference between an agent that contributes\n   in its first session and one that flails.\n4. **Report ready.** Tell the coordinator the agent is live, onboarded, and on\n   what — so they can route work to it.\n5. **Hold the roster.** Keep a current list of who is running, on which profile\n   and version, and what they are doing. The coordinator and the human rely on\n   it being honest.\n6. **Retire cleanly.** When an agent's work is done, stop it and retire it —\n   don't leave idle agents running. Confirm with the coordinator before you\n   remove anyone.\n\n## Hire the right agent\n\n- Match the profile to the work: a code task wants a developer\n  (`aweb.team/developer`); a review wants a reviewer; copy or a web page\n  wants a proofreader (`aweb.team/proofreader`). Pull the profile from the\n  library catalog; if you are unsure what a profile is for or what environment\n  it expects, inspect it (`aw blueprint inspect`,\n  `aw library get-profile --blueprint_ref <blueprint_ref> --profile_ref <profile_ref>`).\n- **Local or global identity scope?** A local identity-scope agent has identity\n  scope `local`: a name in one team only, no AWID record, no `did:aw`. The\n  coordinator makes those itself. You are called in for **global identity-scope**\n  agents: identity scope `global`, a stable `did:aw`, optional addresses, and\n  reusable membership across teams. A global identity can have zero addresses;\n  address management requires namespace authority. Make an agent global only when\n  it genuinely needs a lasting, cross-team identity; default to local identity\n  scope otherwise. This agent-resources profile itself defaults to local identity\n  scope; a team that wants durable, globally-addressable AR must request it\n  explicitly with `:global` in the agent spec, as a deliberate identity decision.\n  Global is a registry decision — see `manage-team-identities`.\n- The **runtime is an explicit staffing choice**, never inferred from a role.\n  Read the profile's `runtime_assumptions`, then choose the runtime deliberately\n  when creating or adding the agent.\n- Bring on an agent only when there is scoped work for it. Don't over-staff; an\n  idle agent is cost without output.\n\n## Curate the team's profiles\n\nYou don't only run agents from profiles — you **own the profiles themselves**.\nThe team's roles live first on its **private library shelf**, and you manage them\nthere with the `manage-profiles` skill:\n\n- **Adopt** a generic catalog profile onto the shelf as the starting point\n  (`import-to-shelf`) rather than authoring from a blank page.\n- **Specialize** it for this team — its stack, its services, its conventions — as\n  new shelf versions.\n- **Track the source**: when the generic profile improves upstream,\n  `update-from-source` pulls those improvements into the parts you haven't edited,\n  without clobbering your specializations.\n- **Evolve under review** when a change is learning the team wants to keep — the\n  `propose`/`approve` gate — rather than a silent edit.\n- **Publish** back to the catalog (`publish-profile`, or `publish-blueprint` for a\n  whole blueprint) when a profile is good enough for other teams. Publishing is\n  outward-facing — it makes the profile public; treat it with that care.\n\nThe coordinator decides *what* roles the team needs; you decide *how* their\nprofiles are sourced, specialized, and kept current.\n\n## Onboard like it matters\n\n- **Role + context + first task, every time.** The profile gives the agent its\n  craft; you give it the team and the job.\n- Point it at the shared state it needs — the repo or worktree, the task board,\n  the people to coordinate with.\n- Make the first task small, concrete, and acceptance-tested: a clean win that\n  proves the agent is wired up and working before you pile on.\n\n## Membership is sensitive — gate it\n\n- Adding and removing agents changes who can act on the team. Treat add and\n  remove as **approval-required**: confirm with the coordinator before you\n  provision, and bring anything that touches identity or external access to the\n  human.\n- Never leave an agent half-provisioned, or a retired agent's access dangling. A\n  clean roster is a safe roster.\n\n## Coordination hygiene\n\n- Use **mail** for staffing requests and handoffs; **chat** when someone is\n  blocked and waiting.\n- Keep messages plain text; avoid shell metacharacters in message bodies.\n- Don't mutate another agent's state — coordinate through tasks, mail, and chat.\n"},{"path":"profile.yaml","sha256":"sha256:87692085a4573fe57e4970bb002e0166e59c924a853ffcaf483313957d00c4bb","content_utf8":"id: agent-resources\nname: Agent Resources\nversion: 0.1.13\nscope: local\nworks_on_main: true\nmission: >-\n  Own the team's people and the profiles they run on.

The mechanics that turn profiles into working teammates.\nallowed-tools: \"Bash(aw *), Bash(rm *), Bash(mkdir *)\"\n---\n\n# aweb Agent Instantiation\n\nUse this skill to turn shipped blueprint profiles into a **live roster**:\ncreate and populate a team, launch it, add one teammate later when needed,\nrefresh homes when profiles improve, and retire agents cleanly when the work is\ndone. This is the **mechanics** layer. The role using this skill supplies the\nstaffing *judgment* — when to staff, who, and how to onboard. The\n**coordinator** commonly staffs local identity-scope, name-only agents; the\n**AR (agent resources)** role uses the same mechanics and additionally owns\nglobal identity-scope staffing through `manage-team-identities`. This skill is\nthe *how*.\n\nFor team coordination (tasks, work discovery, locks) load `aweb-coordination`;\nfor mail/chat policy load `aweb-messaging`. This skill assumes those and covers\nonly the instantiate/run/refresh/remove mechanics they do not.\n\n## What you produce\n\nA materialized agent home and a running teammate. The home carries the agent's\nidentity and body, and the work happens outside the home itself:\n\n- `AGENTS.md` — composed from the profile, including the injected aweb\n  coordination block and the profile's working-layout instructions.\n- `CLAUDE.md` — symlink for Claude Code homes.\n- `.aw/` — identity, team certificate state, and `.aw/profile/ref.json` with the\n  profile provenance, digest, and runtime pin.\n- `worktree/` — when git-worktree setup is available, every agent gets its own\n  git worktree of the selected work repo on its own branch; this is where task\n  git/build/test work happens.\n- `work-main/` — only when the teammate's profile has `works_on_main: true`, a\n  deliberate symlink to the work repo's main checkout for roles that must inspect\n  or operate on main.\n\nThe agent reads its profile, connects to the aweb channel, and is reachable over\n`aw mail` — it wakes on mail, acts as its profile, and replies.\n\n## Preconditions — check, don't assume\n\n- You can run a tmux session. `aw team create --agent ...` populates a roster;\n  `aw team up` launches and reconciles it; `aw team add --start` adds one\n  teammate later.\n- Use the `aw` release that includes the v1.32 team-create roster flags,\n  `aw team add --start`, `aw team up`, and the `works_on_main` home anatomy.\n- You are a member of the team you are staffing into.\n\n## Create, populate, then launch the roster\n\nThe primary staffing flow is **create + populate + up**: create the team, declare\nits initial roster with one `--agent` flag per teammate, then launch the\nmaterialized roster.\n\nHosted team:\n\n```bash\naw team create eng --username <u> \\\n  --agent alice@aweb.team/developer=pi \\\n  --agent bob@aweb.team/reviewer=claude-code \\\n  --agent charlie@aweb.team/proofreader=claude-code\naw team up\n```\n\nSelf-hosted/BYOT team:\n\n```bash\naw team create eng --byot --namespace <domain> --username <u> \\\n  --agent alice@aweb.team/developer=pi \\\n  --agent bob@aweb.team/reviewer=claude-code \\\n  --agent charlie@aweb.team/proofreader=claude-code\naw team up\n```\n\nThe `--agent` specs use `[NAME@]BLUEPRINT/PROFILE[:local|global][=RUNTIME]`:\n\n- The blueprint defaults to `aweb.team` when omitted.\n- `=RUNTIME` selects the materialization target (`claude-code`, `pi`, `codex`, or\n  `local-shell`). Runtime binds at **materialize** time: a `pi` home differs from\n  a `claude-code` home.\n- `:local` and `:global` describe **agent identity scope only**. A local\n  identity-scope agent is name-only inside one team; a global identity-scope\n  agent uses a stable `did:aw` and belongs in the `manage-team-identities` flow.\n- Omitted names are server-authoritative; do not invent the next classic name\n  when the command can choose it.\n\nTeam kind is a separate axis: use the hosted form for aweb-cloud-managed teams;\nuse `--byot --namespace <domain>` for self-hosted/BYOT teams where the customer\ncontrols the namespace/controller authority.\n\n`aw team create ... --agent ...` materializes the roster homes and their home\nanatomy. The default work repo is the repo containing the home; use\n`--work-dir <repo>` in later add flows to point `worktree/` at a separate project\nrepo. When git-worktree setup is available, the release aw creates `worktree/`\nfor every teammate and creates `work-main/` only for profiles with\n`works_on_main: true`; non-git homes skip worktree setup gracefully. The\nmaterializer installs the right channel integration.\n\n`aw team up` is the fleet launch and reconcile path. It scans\n`agents/instances/<name>` for materialized homes, reads each home's runtime from\n`.aw/profile/ref.json`, and starts one tmux window per supported interactive\nruntime. It is idempotent: homes already running are skipped; run it again after\nmaterializing more homes, after a refresh, or after a runtime is killed.\n\nUseful controls:\n\n```bash\naw team up --dry-run             # print the launch plan\naw team up --session <name>      # choose the tmux session name\naw team up --no-attach           # start/reconcile but do not attach\naw team up --attach              # attach/switch after launch\naw team up --force               # ignore the active-home running-process check\naw team up --recreate            # kill and recreate the tmux session\n```\n\n`aw team up` preflights the channel/runtime itself:\n\n- For `claude-code`, it ensures the Claude Code `aweb-channel` plugin is\n  installed, launches Claude with the aweb channel and\n  `--dangerously-skip-permissions`, and auto-answers the known trust-folder and\n  development-channel prompts.\n- For `pi`, it ensures `npm:@awebai/pi@latest` is installed and launches `pi\n  --approve` in the agent home.\n\nSupported launch runtimes are `claude-code` and `pi`. `codex` and `local-shell`\ncan be materialized, but they are not launched by `aw team up`; start those\nmanually from the materialized home if you intentionally use them.\n\nOperator note: each teammate's layout follows that teammate profile's\n`works_on_main` value. Inspect recorded profile provenance before refresh or\nhandoff, include the teammate's `worktree/` path in the first-task onboarding\nmail, and never do git work in the teammate's home directory.\n\n```bash\naw agent profile show alice\naw mail send --to \"alice\" --subject \"onboarding\" --body \"<role + project context + first scoped task; work in agents/instances/alice/worktree/>\"\n```\n\nThe channel injects the mail; the agent wakes, acts as its profile, and replies.\nFrom here coordinate only over mail/chat (`aweb-messaging`) — never by driving\nthe TUI.\n\n## Add one teammate later with `aw team add --start`\n\nUse `--start` when the team already exists and you need one more teammate:\n\n```bash\naw team add alice@aweb.team/developer=claude-code --start --no-attach\naw team add bob@aweb.team/reviewer=pi --start --session <session>\n```\n\nFor one explicit target directory or work repo:\n\n```bash\naw team add \"alice@aweb.team/developer=claude-code\" --home \"agents/instances/alice\" --work-dir <repo> --start --no-attach\n```\n\n`aw team add [NAME@]BLUEPRINT/PROFILE[:local|global][=RUNTIME] --start`\nmaterializes the home, sets up home/worktree isolation plus `work-main/` for\n`works_on_main` roles, and launches the agent in tmux in one command via the\nsame team-up path: channel preflight, prompt auto-answering, and `pi --approve`.\n\n`--start` handles exactly one agent. It is rejected with `--layout-only`, takes\n`--session`, `--attach`, and `--no-attach` like `aw team up`, and skips launch if\nthe home is already a running process cwd.\n\n## Refresh an existing agent after profile evolution\n\nA running home does **not** pick up profile changes until its home is refreshed:\n\n```bash\naw team refresh <name>\n```\n\n`aw team refresh <name>` re-materializes `agents/instances/<name>` from the\nprofile source recorded in `.aw/profile/ref.json`. It prunes the managed set,\npreserves home state outside that managed set, updates `.aw/profile/ref.json`,\nand is a no-op when the digest is unchanged.\n\nThere are two source paths:\n\n1. **Public-pinned home.** Homes created from the public catalog stay pinned to\n   their public blueprint source. Refresh pulls the latest published version of\n   that source profile — the upstream catalog improvement path.\n2. **Adopted shelf home.** `aw team adopt <name>` re-points a public-pinned home\n   onto this team's private Library shelf. After that, refresh follows the shelf\n   path and can apply team-approved profile mints.\n\nThe order matters. Adopt first, then evolve the shelf, then refresh:\n\n```bash\naw team adopt <name>\naw library propose --target profile --profile_ref <profile_ref> --content \"$(cat proposal.json)\" --summary 'brief summary' --rationale 'why this role should learn it'\naw library approve --proposal_id <proposal_id>\naw team refresh <name>\n```\n\nThe approve/reject step belongs to the team's reviewing authority — typically\nthe coordinator, or a designated reviewer — because they have the context to\njudge the proposal. The human sets policy and holds override; every proposal and\nmint stays signed and auditable.\n\nThe Library plugin is required for `aw team adopt`'s shelf import and for the\nLibrary evolution verbs. `update-from-source` remains the shelf-side way\nto pull newer upstream blueprint parts into portions of the shelf profile your\nteam has not edited:\n\n```bash\naw library update-from-source --profile_ref <profile_ref> --target_version <v>\naw team refresh <name>\n```\n\nRe-run `aw team up` after refresh. It reconciles idempotently and starts only\nhomes that are not already running; use `--force` or `--recreate` deliberately\nwhen you need to restart a running home.\n\n## Remove / retire an agent\n\nRemoval is a lifecycle step, not just a process cleanup.\n\n1. **Stop the runtime first.** In Claude Code use `/quit`, or close the tmux\n   window/pane. For pi, quit/close that interactive process.\n2. **Remove team membership with the everyday verb:**\n\n   ```bash\n   aw team remove-agent <member-address>\n   ```\n\n   This is revocation only: self-hosted/BYOT teams revoke with the\n   self-custodial team controller key; hosted aweb.ai teams use the\n   cloud-mediated controller revoke endpoint.\n3. **Decide deliberately what to do with the home directory.** `aw team\n   remove-agent` does not delete the home. The home persists by default for\n   audit/recovery. Deleting it is separate and irreversible; do it only when the\n   team explicitly wants the home files gone.\n\n## Guardrails — do NOT use these (each is a known dead-end)\n\n- Earlier per-agent launcher commands are gone; `aw team up` is the only run\n  path. Launching an interactive runtime detached, without a TTY and the team-up\n  channel preflight, does not work for Claude Code or pi.\n- **Unplanned global identity-scope staffing in this skill** — durable `did:aw`\n  identity decisions belong in `manage-team-identities`, not an incidental roster\n  edit.\n\n## References\n\n- `docs/running-agents.md` and `docs/team-blueprints-sot.md` (aweb repo) — the\n  about-to-release run/materialization contract.\n- The **AR (agent resources)** blueprint profile — the role that orchestrates\n  this skill: when to staff, onboarding content, roster tracking, retire.\n"},{"path":"skills/manage-profiles/SKILL.md","sha256":"sha256:5bcd2bc56ad005c881547be314eb6924a2fae8c731c836689b25029c2cb7a906","content_utf8":"---\nname: manage-profiles\ndescription: >-\n  Manages a team's role profiles through the library plugin - adopt a public\n  blueprint profile, author one from scratch, evolve it on the private shelf,\n  pull upstream improvements without losing team edits, and publish back to the\n  catalog. Use when creating, specializing, versioning, or publishing a profile\n  or a whole blueprint, or when setting up the library plugin for a team.\n---\n\n# Manage profiles\n\nThe library holds the team's role profiles. A profile lives first on the team's\n**private shelf**, where you author and evolve it; from there you **publish** it\ninto a **public blueprint** other teams can adopt. Every step is a library plugin\nverb, authenticated by the team certificate's `library:write` scope — any team\nmember whose cert holds that scope can do this; it is not gated to one role.\n\nThe exact flags for each verb come from the installed Library plugin manifest;\ncheck each tool's `input_schema.required` fields and pass values by flag, never\nas bare positionals. For JSON arrays/objects, use a shell substitution such as\n`--files \"$(cat profile-files.json)\"`; this requires a shell.\n\n## Setup: install the plugin\n\nThe library exposes its API as manifest-dispatched Library subcommands. Install\nit once into the trusted plugin directory, then confirm the verbs are present:\n\n```\naw plugin install <library manifest>\naw plugin list\n```\n\nCalls authenticate with the team cert (`aw id request --team-auth`); the team is\ntaken from the cert, never passed. `aw library register` (once, idempotent;\noptional `--owner` / `--display_name`) binds the team to the library.\n\n## The two homes: shelf vs public blueprint\n\n- **Shelf** — the team's *private* profile store. Yours to author, version, and\n  evolve freely; invisible to other teams.\n- **Public blueprint** — the *catalog* entry other teams adopt. A profile reaches\n  it only by being **published** from the shelf (or imported whole).\n\n## Create a profile\n\nTwo starting points.\n\n**Author from scratch** — `aw library create-shelf-profile --files \"$(cat profile-files.json)\"`. The `files` flag carries the required JSON array (`profile.yaml`, `instructions.md`, and each `skills/<s>/SKILL.md`); optionally add `--tags \"$(cat tags.json)\"`. It lands on the shelf as version 1.\n\n**Adopt and specialize an existing one** — `aw library import-to-shelf --source_blueprint_ref <blueprint_ref> --profile_ref <profile_ref>` (optionally `--source_blueprint_version <v>`). This copies a public-blueprint profile onto the shelf under its source ref and records that source — the path for \"start from a generic catalog profile, then make it ours.\" Re-importing the same source is a no-op; it never pulls a newer version (that is `update-from-source`).\n\n## Evolve it\n\n`aw library shelf-version --profile_ref <profile_ref> --files \"$(cat profile-files.json)\"` adds a new content version from the new required `files` array. Source provenance, tags, and per-part baselines carry forward.\n\n## Track the source — the asset-scoped loop\n\nWhen the generic profile you adopted improves upstream, pull those improvements\nwithout losing your edits:\n\n`aw library update-from-source --profile_ref <profile_ref> --target_version <v>` is a Library plugin verb (manifest-dispatched after `aw plugin install`; optionally add `--source_blueprint_version <v>`). It runs a **per-part 3-way merge** — pulling upstream changes only into the parts you have **not** edited on the shelf, and never clobbering a part you have evolved. A real merge mints the target version and advances the source pin; if nothing is pullable it is a no-op. This is how an adopted profile stays current with its generic base while keeping our specializations.\n\n## The learning gate: propose / approve\n\nReviewed learning operates on the **shelf** profile, not on public blueprints:\n\n- `aw library propose --target profile --profile_ref <profile_ref> --content \"$(cat proposal.json)\" --summary 'brief summary' --rationale 'why this role should learn it'` — submit a profile-targeted proposal; asset changes (file and `profile.yaml`-field assets) live in the `aweb.library.profile-asset-changeset.v1` JSON changeset content. `proposal.json` contains asset changes, not a `files` array: `assets` is an array of `{path, content_utf8, base_asset_digest}` objects, one per changed asset. `--profile_ref` is optional only when the proposal body supplies it.\n- `aw library proposals` — list open proposals.\n- `aw library approve --proposal_id <proposal_id>` — apply it; auto-bumps the\n  next patch version after per-asset stale checks.\n- `aw library reject --proposal_id <proposal_id>` — drop it.\n\nUse this when a profile should evolve **under review** rather than by a direct\n`shelf-version` write — the agent proposes, and the team's reviewing authority\n(typically the coordinator, or a designated reviewer) approves or rejects with\nthe context to judge it. The human sets policy and holds override; every proposal\nand mint stays signed and auditable.\n\n## Apply the approved version to a running home\n\nA proposal approval or `update-from-source` merge mints a new shelf profile\nversion, but a public-pinned agent home keeps following the public catalog until\nyou adopt it onto the team shelf. Close the loop in order:\n\n```bash\naw team adopt <name>\naw library propose --target profile --profile_ref <profile_ref> --content \"$(cat proposal.json)\" --summary 'brief summary' --rationale 'why this role should learn it'\naw library approve --proposal_id <proposal_id>\naw team refresh <name>\n```\n\n`aw team adopt <name>` is the bridge: it reads the public profile pin in the\nhome, imports that profile onto the team's private Library shelf, binds the\nagent, and re-points `.aw/profile/ref.json` to the shelf copy. Adopt **before**\nyou expect propose/approve/refresh to reach the running agent.\n\nAfter adopt, `aw team refresh <name>` reads the home's shelf pin, pulls the\nlatest shelf version for that profile, and re-materializes the home. It prunes\nthe managed set, preserves home state outside that set, updates\n`.aw/profile/ref.json`, and is a no-op when the digest is unchanged. The Library\nplugin is required for `aw team adopt`'s shelf import and for the Library\nevolution verbs.\n\nPublic-pinned homes still have a valid refresh path: they refresh from the latest\npublished version of their public blueprint source. That is the upstream catalog\nimprovement path, not the team-local shelf learning loop.\n\nIf you are pulling upstream blueprint improvements into the shelf, install/use\nthe Library plugin and do that before refresh:\n\n```bash\naw library update-from-source --profile_ref <profile_ref> --target_version <v>\naw team refresh <name>\n```\n\nWithout adopt plus refresh, the approved improvement exists on the shelf but the\nlive public-pinned agent keeps running the previous public-source home.\n\n## Publish to the catalog\n\nTwo ways a profile reaches a public blueprint.\n\n**Promote one shelf profile** — `aw library publish-profile --profile_ref <profile_ref> --blueprint_version <v>`, with optional `--profile_version <v>`, `--target_blueprint_ref <ref>`, or `--new_blueprint \"$(cat new-blueprint.json)\"`. The library generates the `blueprint.yaml`; the published profile keeps its shelf digest; the blueprint's profile set accumulates.\n\n**Import a whole blueprint at once** — `aw library publish-blueprint --files \"$(cat import-files.json)\" --schema aweb.blueprint.import-payload.v1`, carrying the canonical `aweb.blueprint.import-payload.v1` required `files` array plus `schema`. This is the **first-party / repo-source** path: hand-author a blueprint in a repo, build its canonical import payload, import the whole thing. Idempotent on (owner_team, blueprint_ref, version).\n\n## Materialize an agent from a profile\n\n`aw library materialize --profile_ref <profile_ref> --runtime_kind <kind> --target local` produces a runnable local home — composed `AGENTS.md`, installed skills, the profile under `.aw/profile/` — from a shelf or catalog profile. `--target` is the materialization target kind (`local` or `custodial-mcp`); include `--agent_id <agent_id>` instead of `--profile_ref` when materializing from an agent binding. It is the library-side counterpart to the souls / `aw init` path.\n\n## Tags and binding\n\n- `aw library set-profile-tags --profile_ref <profile_ref> --tags \"$(cat tags.json)\"` — discovery tags on a shelf profile; the `tags` flag carries the required JSON array.\n- `aw library bind --agent_id <agent_id> --profile_ref <profile_ref> --profile_version <v> --profile_digest <sha256>` / `aw library get-binding --agent_id <agent_id>` — bind an agent to a profile, and read the binding.\n\n## Guardrails\n\n- Authoring and shelf evolution are private; **publishing** makes a profile\n  public — treat `publish-profile` / `publish-blueprint` as the outward-facing\n  step, with the care any outward action deserves.\n- Prefer `update-from-source` over re-adopting to pull upstream — re-import never\n  pulls a newer version by design.\n- Prefer `propose`/`approve` (reviewed) when a change is learning the team wants\n  to keep; use `shelf-version` for direct authoring.\n- The canonical `aweb.blueprint.import-payload.v1` digest is the identity of a\n  published blueprint; keep the source that generates it under version control.\n"},{"path":"skills/manage-team-identities/SKILL.md","sha256":"sha256:ff7b1551541f87d046706a83f4db204e1d2bf504aabb85bb9a90474c00bd5697","content_utf8":"---\nname: manage-team-identities\ndescription: Sets up and administers the identity and team topology behind a fleet of agents - creating and hosting teams, adding local or global identity-scope agent members, joining global identities to more teams, inspecting identity scope, organizing namespaces and addresses, and handling controller keys and danger zones safely. Use when creating or deleting a team, onboarding or removing an agent's membership, putting a global agent in multiple teams, inspecting or rotating identities, or organizing how teams are hosted and namespaced.\n---\n\n# Manage Team Identities\n\nThis is the operator's map of the identity and team system. Two systems sit\nunderneath, and they are separate:\n\n- **AWID** (`api.awid.ai`) holds the public identity, team, and certificate\n  facts. Auth here is Ed25519 signatures, never an API key.\n- The **aweb coordination server** (default `app.aweb.ai`, or self-hosted) holds\n  the team's working state — tasks, mail, locks, roles, presence.\n\nThe member-level details (joining a team, rotating your own key) go deeper in the\n`aweb-identity` and `aweb-team-membership` skills; treat those as companions.\nThis skill is the operator's view: create, populate, organize, inspect, gate.\n\n**Two command surfaces** — use the right one:\n\n- **`aw team ...`** — the everyday surface: `create`, `add`, `invite`, `join`,\n  `list`, `switch`, `leave`, `remove-agent`. These *do the whole thing* (e.g.\n  `aw team create` yields a team you can act in).\n- **`aw id team ...` / `aw id namespace ...` / `aw id address ...`** — the\n  protocol/admin controller surface: lower-level register/sign/revoke primitives\n  (`aw id team create` is register-only; `aw id team add-member`,\n  `remove-member`, `delete`; namespace and address controller ops).\n\n## Three operations, not one\n\nTeam lifecycle is three **separable** steps; don't conflate them:\n\n1. **Provision an identity** — a signing keypair (`did:key`), optionally\n   registered globally (`did:aw`). Address claims are optional.\n2. **Create a team** — register a team you control. Repeatable.\n3. **Populate it** — add or invite members. Repeatable.\n\n`aw init` fuses all three for a brand-new user; the standalone verbs are the\nrepeatable operations for an identity that already exists.\n\n## Know what kind of identity you're dealing with\n\nTwo independent axes — don't infer one from the other:\n\n- **Identity scope: local vs global.** A *local* identity is name-only inside one\n  team: no AWID record, no `did:aw`, exactly one team membership, meaningful only\n  in that team/workspace. A *global* identity is registered in AWID with a stable\n  `did:aw`; it can hold memberships in many teams and may have zero, one, or many\n  addresses such as `<domain>/<name>`.\n- **Self-custodial vs custodial.** *Self-custodial* keeps the private key on\n  disk in `.aw/signing.key` (rotate with `aw id rotate-key`). *Custodial* lets aweb\n  hold the encrypted key; there is **no CLI command to rotate it** — it's a\n  cloud-account operation.\n\n`did:key:z6Mk...` is the *current signing key*; `did:aw:...` is the *stable\nidentity* it maps to, so the key can rotate without the identity changing. Only\nglobal identities have a `did:aw`. (`did:web` is **not** part of this system.)\n\n```bash\naw whoami     # who am I, local/global, custody, inbound mode\naw id show    # name, address(es), did_aw, did_key, custody\n```\n\n`did_aw` present → **global** (addresses are optional); only a `name` and no\n`did_aw` → **local**. The `custody` field says self vs custodial.\n\n## Custody decides what you can do\n\nThe axis that governs create and add is **who controls the namespace** — NOT\nwhich registry you point at:\n\n- **Model A — self-custodial.** You hold the controller key for a domain: a real\n  domain proven via DNS TXT (**BYOT**), or the throwaway `local` namespace for a\n  dev stack. Create-team and add-member are **client-signed operations** against\n  the configured registry, no API key. Controller keys live under `~/.awid/`.\n- **Model B — hosted-managed.** You signed up via `app.aweb.ai`; your teams live\n  under aweb.ai's namespace, whose controller key you do **not** hold. Creating\n  another team or adding members goes **through the hosted layer** on\n  `app.aweb.ai`, keyed by the credential that layer issues.\n\nThe localhost dev-stack flow is just Model A with a throwaway namespace — not a\nthird architecture.\n\n## Create a team\n\n`aw team create <name>` gives you a *usable* team you control — it registers the\nteam **and enrolls you as its first member** (a register-only team you can't act\nin is a trap, not a success). It can also populate the initial agent roster with\nrepeated `--agent` specs. It branches on **whether you have an identity and\nwhether you control its namespace** — not on which registry you point at:\n\n- **No identity yet** → it runs `aw init`'s bundle (hosted onboarding by default;\n  dev-stack implicit on localhost).\n- **Existing self-custodial identity controlling a namespace** (Model A) → mints\n  a new team under that namespace, signed, no re-signup.\n- **Hosted-managed identity** (Model B) → routes through `app.aweb.ai`'s\n  create-team path.\n\nWho ends up holding the team controller key — you on your machine vs AC\nserver-side — is the *custody outcome* of which branch ran, and it's what decides\nwho can mint members next.\n\nFor hosted teams, create and populate the first roster through the hosted layer:\n\n```bash\naw team create eng --username <u> \\\n  --agent alice@aweb.team/developer=pi \\\n  --agent bob@aweb.team/reviewer=claude-code\n```\n\nFor a domain you control explicitly:\n\n```bash\naw id namespace prepare-controller --domain <domain>   # make the namespace key + print the _awid.<domain> TXT value\n# (human publishes the DNS TXT record)\naw id namespace check-txt --domain <domain>            # verify DNS\naw team create eng --byot --namespace <domain> --username <u> \\\n  --agent alice@aweb.team/developer=pi                 # create + enroll you + populate roster\n```\n\n`aw id team create` is the **register-only** controller primitive (admin surface)\n— it stops at registration with no member enrollment. You usually want\n`aw team create`. **Back up `~/.awid/` after preparing a controller or creating a\nteam** — those keys are your authority over the namespace/team.\n\n## Populate the team — add and invite\n\nAfter create, adding members remains repeatable:\n\n- **`aw team add <name>@<profile> ...`** — mint new team-owned **local** agent\n  members into the active team (identity scope: local; one team only).\n- **`aw team invite` → `aw team join <token>`** — bring in a separate\n  workspace/machine/external identity. Use explicit scope on join:\n  - `aw team join <token> --local --name <name>` creates or uses a local identity\n    only when no global identity is present and no other team is already joined.\n  - `aw team join <token> --global --name <name> --address <domain>/<name>` reuses\n    the workspace's existing global identity and presents an address it already\n    owns.\n  - `aw team join <token> --global --name <name> --no-address` creates a\n    did:aw-only membership with no address claim. On the hosted invite/accept\n    path, a stable-id-bearing global join that requests no address creates the\n    membership with did:aw continuity and **no member address**: the cert carries\n    the original did:aw with the address empty; hosted does not fall back to\n    address registration and does not echo the identity's pre-existing source\n    address. The ownership gate still applies: the joining did:aw must be a\n    registered self-custodial DID, and continuity is verified through key\n    resolution before accept. This guarantee is specifically for stable-id-bearing\n    joins without an address claim; a global accept that omits a stable id\n    entirely still gets managed-address behavior.\n- **`aw id team accept-invite <token> ...`** is the lower-level join primitive;\n  the same `--local`/`--global`, `--name`, `--address`, and `--no-address` rules\n  apply.\n\nImportant invariants:\n\n- Scope is explicit: `--address` does **not** imply global.\n- `--global` reuses the existing global `did:aw`; it does **not** mint a new\n  identity per team. If the workspace has no global identity, it fails closed and\n  points you to `aw id create` / `aw init` first.\n- `--local` fails closed when a global identity is present; use `--global` to\n  reuse it, or use a fresh workspace for a local one.\n- A local identity belongs to exactly one team.\n\n**Who signs the membership certificate** (the credential — a signed statement\nthat a `did:key` belongs to the team, stored at `.aw/team-certs/*.pem`):\n\n- **Self-custodial:** the **client** signs it with the team key and registers it\n  in AWID (gated by a team-controller-key signature).\n- **Hosted:** the **AC server** signs it (it holds the controller key); the CLI\n  never holds a team key, and the cert is stored on AC's side.\n\nEither way the invite **token carries no authority** — it's a one-time pointer;\nauthority lives with whoever holds the controller key. The controller-level\nprimitives are `aw id team add-member` (cross-machine BYOT — signs a cert with\nthe team key) and `aw id team remove-member` (revokes it).\n\n## Put a global agent in more than one team\n\nOne **global** identity holds many memberships at once — one cert per team, all\nin `.aw/team-certs/`. It is the same `did:key`/`did:aw`; joining another team\nreuses that existing global identity. The active team decides the default\ncoordination boundary:\n\n```bash\naw team list                       # memberships + which is active\naw team switch <team>:<domain>     # change the default\naw <verb> --team <team>:<domain>   # override for one command only\naw team join <token> --global --name <name> --address <domain>/<name>\naw team leave <team>:<domain>      # drop one (refuses to leave the only team)\n```\n\nA local identity cannot do this: it is single-team by definition. Team ids are\n`<name>:<domain>` (name first). **Danger:** acting in the wrong active team sends\nmessages, claims, and locks to the wrong boundary; names only resolve within the\nactive team. Confirm the active team before relying on a member name.\n\n## Organize namespaces and addresses\n\n- A **namespace** is a DNS-verified domain controlled by a namespace controller\n  key; the reserved `local` namespace works without DNS for dev/bootstrap.\n- Teams nest under namespaces (`<name>:<domain>`); one namespace holds many teams\n  — just repeat `aw team create`.\n- **Addresses are optional claims on a global identity**, not the thing that makes\n  it global. A global identity can have zero addresses.\n- Claiming an address requires **namespace-controller authority** (hosted via AC,\n  or self-controlled with the controller key). Team membership alone does not\n  grant address authority.\n- `aw id address claim <namespace>/<name>` claims an additional address for the\n  current global identity in a namespace you control. It is atomic: no workspace\n  state changes on failure. Standalone hosted address claim is unsupported and\n  fails closed with guidance to join a team (`aw id team accept-invite` /\n  `aw team join`) because hosted addresses are claimed during accept.\n- The **controller-key hierarchy** is the authority chain: parent\n  (`*.aweb.ai`, hosted) → namespace controller (`~/.awid/controllers/`) → team\n  controller (`~/.awid/team-keys/`). These are authority keys, not app config.\n\n## Inspect before you act\n\n| To learn | Run |\n|---|---|\n| Who am I (local/global, custody) | `aw whoami`, `aw id show` |\n| Which teams, which is active | `aw team list` |\n| My active membership cert | `aw id cert show` |\n| Resolve a stable id to its key | `aw id resolve <did_aw>` |\n| Full audit log of an identity | `aw id verify <did_aw>` |\n| Resolve a namespace address | `aw id namespace resolve <domain>/<name>` |\n| Addresses for my current global identity | `aw id addresses` |\n| Addresses for an id or namespace | `aw id addresses <did_aw \\| domain>` |\n| Claim an address in a namespace you control | `aw id address claim <namespace>/<name>` |\n\n## The danger zones — gate hard, escalate\n\nIdentity, membership, and auth changes are the class to **escalate to the human**\nbefore executing. In particular:\n\n- **Key rotation.** There is **no `aw id team rotate` CLI**. Rotating a member's\n  identity key is `aw id rotate-key` (its `did:key` changes, `did:aw` stays\n  stable, so that member's team certs must be re-issued); recovering namespace\n  control is `aw id namespace rotate-controller`. Rotating a *team's* controller\n  key — which would invalidate every certificate under it — is a registry-level\n  operation, not a one-command CLI: treat it as a major, escalate-first event.\n- **`aw id team delete`** requires all active certs revoked first and the\n  namespace controller key; it does not delete the namespace or its addresses.\n  Teardown order: revoke certs → delete team → `aw id namespace delete-address` →\n  `aw id namespace delete`.\n- **Custodial key rotation/recovery has no CLI** — route the owner to the hosted\n  account flow; never improvise.\n- **Back up `~/.awid/`** — losing a controller key loses the ability to manage\n  that namespace/team.\n\nA plain member can `list`, `switch`, `leave`, `join`, and inspect; anything that\n**creates, deletes, or signs/revokes** (team create/delete, add/remove member,\nrotation, visibility, address claim) needs controller authority and is the\noperator's gated work.\n"}]}
