Hey

/hey

Quick federation messenger. Wraps maw hey <node>:<agent> with two additions:

1. Fleet-name resolution — just use fireman instead of white:fireman when target is on current host
2. Auto-sig — appends [<host>:<handle>] read from local CLAUDE.md

Usage

/hey <node>:<agent> <message>      # explicit node:agent
/hey <agent> <message>              # same host as me (infer node)
/hey list                           # list reachable agents in fleet
/hey peek <node>:<agent>            # wrap maw peek

Step 0: Init + resolve identity

date "+🕐 %H:%M %Z"
# Resolve my identity from CLAUDE.md
MY_HANDLE=$(grep -E "^- \*\*Technical handle\*\*:|^- \*\*Handle\*\*:" CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null | head -1 | sed -E 's/.*`([^`]+)`.*/\1/' || echo "")
# Fallback to repo name if CLAUDE.md missing
[ -z "$MY_HANDLE" ] && MY_HANDLE=$(basename "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)" | sed 's/-oracle$//')
MY_HOST=$(hostname -s 2>/dev/null | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
# Common fleet host aliases
case "$MY_HOST" in
  white.local|white) MY_HOST=white ;;
  mba*) MY_HOST=mba ;;
esac
MY_SIG="[$MY_HOST:$MY_HANDLE]"
echo "sig=$MY_SIG"

Usage: send

TARGET="$1"      # fireman OR white:fireman
MSG="$2"         # message body

# Resolve target node
if [[ "$TARGET" == *:* ]]; then
  NODE=${TARGET%%:*}
  AGENT=${TARGET##*:}
else
  NODE=$MY_HOST
  AGENT=$TARGET
fi

maw hey "$NODE:$AGENT" "$MSG $MY_SIG"

Usage: list

maw agents 2>&1 | awk 'NR>1 {print $1":"$4, "("$5")"}'

Usage: peek

maw peek "$TARGET" 2>&1 | head -40

Fleet machine names (from ~/etc/hosts)

Rule 6 discipline

All outbound federation messages carry [<host>:<handle>] at the end. Never pretend to be human; never drop the sig. The sig is identity, not decoration.
