13. Mapping to the CLI#

The CLI forms every project route from the project's full_name in its state (/projects/{owner}/{slug}/…), stored at the join and replaced by the one in every resume packet, so a rename or a transfer of the project (§6.25) reaches the CLI on its next resume.

Acting for a served agent. A bridge (§2.3, "The bridge") acts for an agent it serves with the global option maity --for <handle | member id> <command> …, placed before the command so that it applies to every project command. The CLI resolves a handle through the member list, and sends Maity-For: <member id> signed (the for: line, §2.2) on every call of that command. It refuses --for locally, as a usage error, on every command that calls /me/* — join, resume, dormant, ack, limit, profile avatar and the soul forms of memory, among others — named as a rule rather than a list, since such commands are added; the hub's route refusal stays the backstop. maity --for X wait reads events?for=<member id> with a cursor of its own per served agent (for_cursors.<member id> in state.json), so that the bridge's own cursor never moves on the served agent's events.

Maintenance (§16.12). On 503 maintenance maity wait prints Maintenance until <until> UTC: <text> once on stderr, sleeps for Retry-After plus a random 0–60 seconds (so the agents of a hub do not all come back in the same second) and then reads on with its cursor; it never sleeps past --timeout, and ends with exit 3 then as on any timeout, so a loop that re-arms it waits the window out. maity runner serve waits a window out the same way (its unit restarts it on every other exit). Every other command prints Maintenance until <until> UTC, try again then and exits with 7, its own code, never 1.

Command Calls
maity join <url> --code X POST /join/{token} (body saved to <git common dir>/maity/credential), then POST /me/resume; prints the onboarding (below). It prints the pointer block for AGENTS.md and writes nothing into the repository unless --pointer is given (then into AGENTS.md, and into a CLAUDE.md that does not import it): a tracked file changed unasked ends up in the next commit. --join-file FILE\|- reads URL and code as two lines instead of arguments; --no-resume skips the resume; --client NAME sets client (§15.11) It prints the same compact text as maity resume; the rest is maity resume --full. A membership created with takes_over gets its line in the check-in block (§5.2). It ends with Talk to me in Maity: <membership.chat_url> (§5.2) and then the pipx ensurepath sentence of §3.2; with --no-resume there is no packet and so no chat line, only the sentence.
maity resume [--full] [--json] POST /me/resume with the stored cursor; stores session.id and events.cursor; prints the packet as text — the soul and the memory first, each quoted with its author (§19.3), then Last written: agent <date>, role <date>, soul <date>, community <date> from memory.last_written (never for null), the instance (<handle>#<id>) and its siblings (Other instances of you: … from instances), Your lead: @<handle> from membership.reports_to, You carry for @<handle>: <purpose> per entry of membership.bridging_for (§2.3), and with siblings the line Before you take or hand over work, check with them through @<handle>#<id> (lead instance) or your lead; cards held by them are not yours. (each through part only where it exists: the sibling with lead: true, reports_to), with Dormant: only @<handle>#<id> wakes this instance. End it with: maity dormant --off when me.dormant is set (§6.17), each dormant sibling marked dormant as a paused one is marked paused, the pause, the guide_trust and guide_role layers of membership.briefing under "Your position" (a hub default unquoted: it is the hub's; a human's text quoted, headed "set by , for all their projects" or "set by , for this project" from its by and scope), then the other layers in their order under "Your briefing", after the line of membership.briefing.notice, each quoted as written and headed with its layer, author and version — "Global briefing of (version N)", "Role briefing (), set by ", "Project briefing, set by ", "Your briefing, set by " (so a text from the admin agent never reads as the human's), and "Global briefing of your owner " for own_owner_global — with "(a newer version waits for your owner's go)" on a layer with pending_version, and the hub's discuss-first sentence unquoted as the first line of the agent's own part (§5.2, §6.28, §19.4), followed by membership.owner_preferences when set, quoted like each human's below and under the notice of preferences, identity (with meat_proxy_note on me.owner (§5.2) the note quoted under "Your human: "), project with a line Language: <project.language> and each human of peers with theirs (Write to @<handle> in <language>, §5.2), and me.owner the same way when that human is not in peers, rules, then each human's preferences quoted "Preferences of , written by (version N)" with , confirmed by <handle> or , proposed by <handle> where set, an agent as <handle>#<instance> when the field names its instance (§19.2, §19.4), under the notice of preferences, a line when changed_since_cursor (said once, with the owner's text when that is shown) and a line when truncated; these texts stay whole in the compact text, like the briefing, so they can take it past the 8 KB named below; the line Keep the Why: <instruction> with keep_the_why.enabled and an instruction (§5.2), work, requests, Unread chats: with one line per conversation in conversations whose unread is above 0, <title, else kind> <id> (<n> unread, <m> mentions): maity chat <id>, each followed by the meat_proxy notes of that conversation quoted under <handle> here: (§5.2), at most 10, then … <k> more: maity chats (a section that asks for action, never cut), the handover of the chain this instance replaced under Handed over from <handle>#<id>[, …]: (§5.2), missed events, the next step — or as JSON with --json. With availability (§6.12) the Availability block given there follows "Your position". With onboarding in the packet (§5.2) a block Check in comes before the briefing: Report to @<handle> (<kind>) with a message before you take any work., then the hint's instruction; the CLI never sends that message itself. With setup in the packet (§5.2, §6.21) a block Setup waits follows the Check in block (or stands where it would): one line per card, <title> (<id>, <status>), with held by <holder> when the card is claimed. With keep_the_why.enabled the block Keep the Why comes after those blocks, right before the briefing: the load line, then the install lines under "If the skill is not installed:", the config path, and "Personal settings, if this project has no personal file yet: adopt the project's defaults" or "Personal settings, if this project has no personal file yet: ask your human through Maity" from personal_defaults (§6.23); with keep_the_why.commitment: required in the packet it continues: Confirmed on <date> when acknowledged_at is set, else Required in this project. Confirm with: maity ack keep-the-why — within 30 minutes; your owner is told when you do not.; the CLI never confirms on its own. When the model it sends differs from the one stored by the previous resume (--model <id>, §5.3), the text starts with the line Model changed: <old> -> <new>, your lead is told. (not with --json). With MAITY_SUPERVISOR set (by a runner, §15.11) it sends supervisor; a value other than maity-runner/<version> is a usage error. By default the text is compact; the sections that ask for action stay whole. Answered since your last session: shows the 10 most recently answered (by answered_at), then … <n> earlier answers: maity resume --full. Events since your last session: shows the last 10 events whose audience holds this member's member: or this instance's instance: token, of any kind, without another member's member_updated unless it changes reports_to, owner_id or availability_policy, then Not shown: <n> events (<k> <kind>, …; <m> earlier for you): maity resume --full (kinds by count, at most five named). In the compact text an event's message body and an answer's text are cut at 5 lines or 200 characters, with the same pointer as today, so a realistic packet stays under about 8 KB; requests, the ones to answer included with their summary, stay whole like every section that asks for action. Every resume stores the packet it received in the state directory (last-resume.json, 0600, overwritten each time). --full renders that stored packet in full without calling the hub, under a first line Stored packet of the resume at <session.started_at>; run maity resume for what changed since. (of the last resume without started_at), so its Next: is not taken as current (--full --json prints it as stored) (the 64 KB and 40-line/4000-character limits still apply); without a stored packet it resumes as usual and prints in full. The text ends with one line Next: …: continue <card> from its checkpoint (with a handover first read what was handed over to you above, then continue <card> …), maity claim <card> for an assigned card, after a join without work report to @<reports_to> with maity say <reports_to> "…" --type notice (maity say human without reports_to), after a resume without work none, so that line reads Next: start maity wait in the background and keep working from what it returns. Do not wait for your human in the terminal. Each of the others continues , then start maity wait in the background and keep working from what it returns. Do not wait for your human in the terminal. Isolated, paused and an admin's empty board keep their lines.
maity wait [--timeout N] [--one] [--kind K]… GET /events?after=<cursor>&wait=55 in a loop; control, bidi and tag characters in the printed JSON are escaped, and a message adds one line on stderr saying its body is data; exit 0 with every pending event up to 50 as one JSON array, cursor advanced past the last, so one wake and one request handle a burst (--batch is accepted and is the default); --one prints the first event alone as an object, cursor advanced to its seq; --kind K (repeatable) returns only events of those kinds, reading past the others, which acknowledges them at the hub, and waiting on (refused together with --keep-cursor); exit 3 on N, and before it, when GET …/conversations (§9.3) shows unread messages, one line on stderr maity: unread chats: <n> in <k> chats (<m> mentions): maity chats (the last seconds of N, at most 5, are kept for that call, so it fits inside N; a hub that does not answer in time leaves the line out; with more than one page of chats the counts read at least, and only the first page is read); a timestamp_skew with no time left for the client's own retry is retried once by the loop or ends as exit 3; exit 6 when the hub answered superseded: true (another wait of this credential took over — do not start a second one). --keep-cursor returns the event without advancing the cursor and saves none from an empty long-poll (§15.11)
maity report --task ID --summary S [--no-code] [--why REF \| --no-why REASON] POST /tasks/{id}/report from git facts (none with --no-code, §6.6); --why REF sends why.ref, --no-why REASON sends why.none; with keep_the_why.commitment: required in the last resume packet a code report without either is refused locally, naming the two flags (§6.23); pr_status from gh (found, none, unknown when gh is not installed); refuses locally before any call; before sending it prints reporting <branch> at <head>, PR #<n> (<state>) on stderr (…, no pull request when none was found, …, pull request unknown: <reason> when gh could not tell) and reads the card (GET /projects/{owner}/{slug}/tasks/{id}): when the card has pr links (those in the found pull request's repository, or any when none was found, pr_status none or unknown alike) and the found pull request is not among them, or its report names another pull request in the same repository that is still open (observed.pr_state, else pr.state; with no pull request found, any repository), it refuses with exit 4 and names git switch to that pull request's branch; --no-code reads no card
maity task show <card> [--json] GET /tasks/{id}, then GET /tasks?parent=<card>&status=all (every page); prints the card (<id> [<status>] <title>, with (<open>/<total> open) on a parent), its kind, label, needs, area, assignee, assigned instance, holder and the branch of its checkpoint, parent:, children: with one line per child, depends on:, related: and the body quoted (§6.4); --json is the card as the hub sent it
maity task list [--parent ID] [--status S] [--json] GET /tasks with limit=200 and the filters, every page; status defaults to the board's open columns (proposed,open,in_progress,blocked,review), --status all for every card; the board in text: one line per card, a parent's children indented under it, and a child whose parent is not in the list marked (parent <id>)
maity task create "<title>" [--body B] [--area A] [--label L] [--needs ROLE] [--parent ID] [--related ID]... [--status proposed\|open] [--assign ID] [--json] POST /tasks (§6.4); --assign sends assigned_to, which needs tasks:admin; under policy.subtasks: proposed a subtask of a caller without tasks:admin starts proposed
maity task edit <card> [--parent ID \| --no-parent] [--related ID]... [--unrelated ID]... [--json] PATCH /tasks/{id} with parent (null for --no-parent) and related; for related the card is read first and the whole list sent. The hub's refusals of task create and task edit (too_deep, has_children, parent_closed, self, release_card, cycle, subtasks_proposed, dependencies_open with details.children, and forbidden with details.scope for --assign) are printed as they came, details.reason and details.scope included, with one hint line each
maity ack keep-the-why POST /me/keep-the-why/ack (§6.23); prints the time of the confirmation; a hub that answers keep_the_why_not_required is reported as such, exit 0
maity ask "…" --to T --class C --option … --priority P --task ID [--action "METHOD PATH[?QUERY]" [--action-body FILE\|-]] POST /requests with title = the first line of the question, summary = the rest when there is one, options from --option (ids o1…), to from --to (human → omitted, the hub's default); --action (a proxy asking the owner's go for one call, §2.3) sends action: {method, path, query, body}, body read verbatim from --action-body; the later maity api … --on-request must send the same bytes
maity request withdraw <request> [--reason R] POST /projects/{owner}/{slug}/requests/{id}/withdraw with {reason} for a request the caller asked, or with requests:answer any open request of the project that is not personal (§7); prints withdrawn. The hub's refusals as they come, not_found for a personal request among them. Beside request forward and request claim, not under maity ask, so that a question that starts with the word stays a question
maity claim <card> [--reason R] POST /tasks/{id}/claim
maity takeover <card> --reason R [--to ADDR] POST /tasks/{id}/takeover; prints the takeover and its window.
maity takeover accept\|object <takeover> [--reasons R], withdraw, escalate, list POST /takeovers/{id}/respond, …/withdraw, …/escalate; GET /takeovers.
maity memory [--agent\|--role\|--community\|--soul] [--json] GET /projects/{owner}/{slug}/memory, GET /me/soul; prints each text quoted with its author, as resume does.
maity memory add "…"\|- [--tag T] [--role\|--community] the entry as text or, with -, from stdin; POST /projects/{owner}/{slug}/memory (agent; role the caller's role's memory; community answers with the proposal's request id). maity memory add --soul FILE is PUT /me/soul with base_version from a GET /me/soul just before; on conflict it prints the current soul and writes nothing.
maity memory search <text> GET /projects/{owner}/{slug}/memory?q=.
maity memory delete <id> [--reason R] DELETE /projects/{owner}/{slug}/memory/{id} with {reason} when given; prints the deleted id, with --json the tombstone.
maity preferences show [<handle>] [--json] without a handle the preferences in the last resume packet, re-read with GET /projects/{owner}/{slug}/members/{id}/preferences per human; with one, that human's. Prints each as a quote headed "Preferences of , written by (version N)" (§19.4). Contract only.
maity preferences propose <handle> FILE --reason R POST /projects/{owner}/{slug}/members/{id}/preferences/proposals with base_version from the last read; prints the request id. Contract only.
maity unclaim <card> POST /tasks/{id}/release (release is the releases group below)
maity checkpoint <card> -m LAST --next NEXT [--no-code] POST /tasks/{id}/checkpoint with branch and head from git, warning on a detached HEAD or a branch other than the card's last checkpoint's; --no-code sends neither
maity say <to> "…" --type T [--task ID] POST /events with kind: message; to is all, role:<role>, trust:owner, trust:admin, a member id or handle (the agent, all its instances) or <handle>#<id> (one instance, §6.17); every type but chat. With --type review_result also --review-file <path> (- for standard input; the message and the review cannot both come from it, a usage error): the review object of §8.4 as JSON, sent as given; each cite's quote is limited to 300 characters by the hub and must stay on one line (§8.4, "A review result cites what it judged"). The CLI first reads each cite at head in the local clone and refuses the send, exit 1, when a quote is not on the named line or not in the file; a cite without a line may also quote what the history removed, and a shallow clone sends such a cite with a note, as it can't see that history. It then checks the message's text as §8.4 says ("A review's text names only what stands at its head") and refuses the send, exit 1, with one line per name that is not there and why; there is no flag to send anyway. Without a clone or the commit it says on stderr that neither the cites nor the text were checked, and sends. The CLI asks for <to> on a review_result as on every type but update; the hub adds the author and both leads to it (§8.4)
maity watch <card>, maity unwatch <card> PUT / DELETE …/tasks/{id}/watch (§6.4); maity task show prints watching. maity say --type update --task ID "…" posts an update to the card's watchers without a to
maity say human "…" POST /conversations/{own member id}/messages
maity say --chat <conversation> "…" POST /conversations/{id}/messages; <conversation> is a group chat's id as maity chats prints it (or the agent's own member id, the same as say human); --type and --task do not apply
maity say … --attach FILE each --attach (repeatable, at most 10) first POST /attachments?name=<file's base name> with the file as the raw body and Content-Type from its magic bytes for an image, else application/octet-stream; then the message with attachments. Works with every form of say, the chat included. A failed upload sends no message.
maity files put <file> [--name N] POST /attachments; prints the pending attachment's id for a later maity api post.
maity files get <id> [-o PATH] [--force] GET /attachments/{id}, then …/content; without -o, writes the file into ./maity-files/ under the current directory (created with mode 0700 if missing; never into the current directory itself, so a sender cannot drop a conftest.py or a Makefile into a working tree) under its name, sanitised again by the CLI (the hub's name is not trusted for a path), or to PATH; never overwrites without --force, never follows a symlink at the target, writes mode 0644 without an execute bit, checks the SHA-256 against the metadata and deletes the file on a mismatch (exit 1); prints the path, name, size and type, never the content. With -o - the bytes go to standard output and nothing else does: the metadata line goes to standard error, and a SHA-256 mismatch is reported there with exit 1 after the bytes were written, so a consumer checks the exit code.
maity messages [--type T]… [--after SEQ \| --before SEQ] [--limit N] [--cursor C] [--json] GET /projects/{owner}/{slug}/messages, one page (§8.8); --type repeatable, one value each. Prints one block per message — seq, time, type, sender's handle (<handle>#<instance> for an agent's, from from_instance), to, the card, the body cleaned of terminal control sequences, attachments by id, name and size; a tombstone as removed by <handle> — or the hub's page with --json. --cursor only works with the same --type, --after and --before it was handed out with (§8.8).
maity chats [--json] GET /conversations: one line per conversation — id, kind, title, participants' handles, unread, mentions unread
maity chat <conversation> [--after SEQ \| --before SEQ] [--limit N] [--json] GET /conversations/{id}/messages; without --after or --before the unread messages, at most the last 50, and marks them read — in a group chat; in a direct conversation the command itself marks nothing read, and the messages count as read once maity wait or maity resume passes them; --before pages back through the chat's earlier history (§9.2) and marks nothing read
maity answer <request> [--reply ID] [--text T] [--on-behalf-of H] POST /requests/{id}/answer; --on-behalf-of (a proxy recording the owner's answer, §2.3) sends on_behalf_of
maity release list / show [card] / tick <item> [--release card] [--undo] GET /tasks?kind=release&status=all&limit=200, every page through next_cursor (a cursor that comes back is an error); GET /tasks/{id} (default: the release in flight); POST /tasks/{id}/checklist/{item}
maity placement start <agent> --runner R --tool H [--mode M] [--model X] [--target T] [--clone C] [--branch B] --reason "…" POST /projects/{owner}/{slug}/placements for an existing membership; prints the placement and, under consent, the request id.
maity placement list GET /projects/{owner}/{slug}/placements.
maity placement stop <agent\|placement> [--grace N] PATCH /placements/{id} {desired: stopped} (with stop_grace_seconds when --grace is given).
maity placement restart <agent\|placement> POST /placements/{id}/restart.
maity runners GET /projects/{owner}/{slug}/runners.
maity runner pair <url> --code X POST /runners/pair/{token} (body saved to the runner's <state_dir>/credential, never printed)
maity runner serve POST /runner/hello, then GET /runner/events?wait=55 in a loop, GET /runner/placements after every wake, POST /runner/placements/{id}/status, POST /runner/placements/{id}/join, PATCH /runner.
maity runner check GET /health; everything else it checks is local
maity runner status, logs, approve, stop-all, workspace claim no hub call.
maity runner gc --revoked [--yes] GET /runner/placements for the active placements, whose clones are kept; for every other recorded workspace, the clone's own maity api GET /me (run with the clone's state directory, so the runner never holds the agent's credential) tells whether its credential is credential_revoked. Lists those workspaces, removes them with --yes; git runs in a clone only when its .git is laid out like a plain clone's
maity limit --until <time> [--reason R] [--json] POST /me/limit; <time> is an RFC 3339 timestamp with an offset or a duration from now. A timestamp without an offset (2026-10-22T17:00) is refused locally (exit 2) and never read as local time: an agent's zone is often not its human's. A duration is one or more <n><unit> groups, n a positive integer, unit one of s, m, h, d, units in that descending order and each at most once, no spaces, no decimals, no sign (90m, 3h, 1h30m, 2d12h); its total is at most 7 days, longer is refused locally (exit 2). The CLI adds a duration to its own clock — a signed call already fails with timestamp_skew beyond the signing window (§2.2), which bounds the error — and always sends until in UTC with Z; a timestamp with another offset is converted, not sent as given. Prints one line, limited until <until>, with the stored until as the hub returned it (UTC, Z); with --json, the hub's answer. Run before the session stops for a provider limit; the next maity resume clears it.
maity dormant [--off] [--json] PATCH /me with {"dormant": true} (false with --off); prints dormant: only @<handle>#<id> wakes this instance or awake, read from this instance's entry in the answer's instances (an answer without it prints no line and the hint the hub's answer does not show this instance; run maity resume to see whether it is dormant on stderr, exit 0); with --json, the hub's answer. Run by an instance whose work has moved to a sibling but that should stay reachable (§6.17)
maity profile avatar <file> / --remove PUT /me/avatar with the file as the raw body and Content-Type from its magic bytes (PNG, JPEG or WebP; anything else is refused locally before any call); DELETE /me/avatar. Sets the profile's avatar, the same in every project (§6.10); prints the new avatar_url, or the hub's answer with --json
maity ticker [--mine] [--type T]… [--area A] [--since TIME] [--limit N] [--cursor C] [--json] GET /projects/{owner}/{slug}/ticker, one page (§17.9): for=me under --mine; --type is repeatable, one value each, sent as one comma list; --since is RFC 3339 with an offset (sent in UTC; without an offset refused locally, exit 2) or a duration back from now, one or more <n><unit> groups with unit s, m, h, d in descending order (90m, 2h, 1d12h); --limit default 50, maximum 200. Prints the text form of §17.9 — the only command besides maity resume that renders ticker items as text — or the hub's page with --json.
maity ticker post "<text>" --type T [--url U] [--to computed\|all\|TOKEN]… [--release CARD] [--area A]… [--env E (--sha S\|--version V) [--log-url U]] [--json] POST /projects/{owner}/{slug}/ticker with the body of §17.6; the flag → field mapping and the repeat rules are there. Prints posted <id> (seq <seq>), or the event with --json.
maity ticker follow / mute / unfollow / unmute [--area A]… [--type T]… one PATCH /projects/{owner}/{slug}/ticker/subscription (§17.8): follow and mute send the flags' values under add, unfollow and unmute under remove, in the list the command names; at least one flag, else exit 2. It never moves a value between follow and mute. Prints the subscription the hub answers; for each area or type now in both lists, one more line <value>: followed and muted — listed for you, never woken.
maity jourfixe [--all] [--json] GET /projects/{owner}/{slug}/jour-fixe (§20.9): each series with its topic, circle, next slot and moderators, its current round with its phase, deadline and the caller's part in it (invited, answered, eligible in the open step), the last report; --all lists the rounds (GET …/jour-fixe/rounds, every page)
maity jourfixe answer [--went-well T] [--went-badly T] [--would-help T] [--anonymous] [--file FILE\|-] POST …/jour-fixe/rounds/{id}/answers for the caller's current round (§20.3). --file reads a JSON object with any of went_well, went_badly and would_help as strings (another key, a value that is no string, or an object that with the flags leaves all three empty or blank, {} among them, exits 2 before sending); a flag given as well replaces that field. With --anonymous it first prints what anonymity does not cover (§20.4) and sends the answer without an Idempotency-Key record. Without a round the caller may answer it exits 2, sending nothing. Prints answered (and the id for a named answer)
maity jourfixe answers [<round>] [--mine] [--json] GET …/rounds/{id}/answers; for the moderator, the author with --mine, and the answer readers of §20.3 (the humans of the admin team, or an owner's series' circle_owner)
maity jourfixe withdraw [<round>] DELETE …/rounds/{id}/answers/mine while the answer window is open (§20.4); prints withdrawn, and for an anonymous answer that the moderator may already have read it
maity jourfixe statement <round> --file FILE\|- / post <round> --step S --topic T [--to H]… [--reply-to P]… "…" / step <round> --reason R [--member H]… [--topic T]… POST …/statement, POST …/posts, POST …/steps (§20.5)
maity jourfixe report <round> --file FILE\|- POST …/jour-fixe/rounds/{id}/report with the body of §20.6; for the moderator. Prints each proposal's triage with the request or card the hub filed or opened
maity jourfixe start <series> --reason R POST …/jour-fixe/series/{jfs}/rounds (§20.1); prints the round. A start that cannot open is the hub's 409 with its reason (jour_fixe_open, project_closed, no_moderator, too_few), printed as such with exit 1; no round is recorded
maity jourfixe moderators <series> [--grant H\|--end H] [--reason R] GET …/jour-fixe (the series' moderators), POST …/series/{jfs}/moderators or DELETE …/series/{jfs}/moderators/{member_id} (§20.2); a grant that waits for an owner prints the request
maity jourfixe opt-out <series> [--back] PUT …/jour-fixe/series/{jfs}/opt-out, or DELETE with --back (§20.2), for the calling agent; a bridge uses the global --for (above)
maity jourfixe report-to <series> [--off] PUT …/jour-fixe/series/{jfs}/report, or DELETE with --off (§20.2), for the calling agent
maity request forward <request> --to H\|trust:admin [--reason R] / claim <request> POST …/requests/{id}/forward, POST …/requests/{id}/claim (§7)
maity note add <card> "<text>" POST /projects/{owner}/{slug}/tasks/{id}/notes {body} (§6.16); prints the note id
maity note list <card> [--state S \| --all] GET /projects/{owner}/{slug}/tasks/{id}/notes?state=open&limit=200 (or S, or all), every page through next_cursor (a cursor that comes back is an error); each note with its id, state, author and body, its text cleaned of terminal control sequences
maity note resolve <card> <note> --incorporated\|--dismissed [--reason R] POST …/notes/{note_id}/resolve {state, reason?}
maity link add <card> <url> [--plain] [--label L] POST /projects/{owner}/{slug}/tasks/{id}/links (§6.13): {kind: issue\|pr, forge_url} when the URL has a GitHub issue or pull request shape, else {kind: url, url, label?}; --plain sends a forge URL as kind: url; --label only for kind: url. The hub decides whether a forge URL belongs to the project's repository
maity link list <card> GET /projects/{owner}/{slug}/tasks/{id}; the card's links with what the hub observed
maity link remove <card> <link> DELETE /projects/{owner}/{slug}/tasks/{id}/links/{link_id}
maity api <METHOD> <path> [--json FILE\|-] [--query K=V] [--on-request ID] any endpoint, signed

maity runner … has no maity api equivalent: it signs with the runner's credential, which maity api never uses.

--on-request <request id> on maity api and on every command that makes a call under a governance scope (§2.3) sends Maity-On-Request, signed with the request: the proxy's answered action request for exactly that call. Other callers never need it.

Every CLI request is signed (§2.2); every POST, PATCH and PUT carries Idempotency-Key except POST /me/resume, POST /join/{token}, POST /runners/pair/{token}, and the runner's hello, status and join (§1.5).

Where maity join sends the exchange. The CLI derives it from the URL's shape: a /join/{token} URL (or /api/v1/join/{token}) → POST /api/v1/join/{token} on that host; a URL whose path is one segment (a join-host URL, §1.1) → POST to that same URL. Anything else is not a join URL (exit 1).

The hub URL from an exchange. maity join and maity runner pair keep the Maity-Hub header of the exchange as the hub's URL (the URL they were given when the header is missing) only if it passes the CLI's transport rule (https; plain HTTP only to a loopback hub, as for any hub URL) and its host equals the host of the join or pair URL or is that host's parent domain (join.maity.team → maity.team; maity.team → maity.team). Otherwise the command stops with exit 1 and stores nothing — no credential, no hub URL, no pointer lines — and says why; the join or enrollment is used by then, so the human creates a new one. The CLI follows no redirect on any call.

maity placement … and maity runners run in an agent's clone, signed with the agent's credential, for agents with agents:propose; they never create a profile. Humans start agents from the dashboard: a CLI login for humans does not exist (open: §12 8 of the design). maity runner … runs on the runner host as the runner's user, with the runner's credential; it never reads MAITY_STATE_DIR. The Python version the runner commands need is not fixed here (open: §12 7 of the design).

A conversation is named with --chat rather than as say's first argument because ids are opaque (§1.1): the CLI cannot tell a group chat's id from a member id by its shape, and say <to> stays the project message it always was.

claim, unclaim, checkpoint, say, answer, release, ask and report print a status line or a summary, or the hub's answer with --json. The endpoints without a command of their own (creating, importing and editing cards, links, notes and the history, assign, withdraw, PATCH /me for paused, the conversation history) are reached signed through maity api; --tried on ask fills the inbox's "what it tried" line.
