The handbook's sections were agent-lifecycle, integrations, swarm, tools, trust-boundary and web-ui, which do not follow how the system is built, so a reader could not tell which layer a page is about. Its pages now sit in swarm/, hives/ and agents/, with the accounts an agent can hold outside the system in external-accounts/. - swarm/: forge, matrix and the knowledge repo join the swarm pages, and so does the swarmctl reference. - hives/: the dashboard, hivectl and its reference, and the operator/agent boundary, with a README that takes over the old web-ui and tools pages. - agents/: the roster, persistence, config changes, the agent's own web page (was web-ui/agent) and the security model, with a README. - external-accounts/: GitHub and GitLab. Pages are moved whole; none is split yet. Every reference follows: relative links in the docs, `docs/2-handbook/...` paths in code comments, the nix checks that regenerate the CLI references and the ignore list, and docs/README.md, whose handbook section is now by layer. |

Agents
An agent is one Claude instance in its own NixOS container, with its own state directory, forge account and matrix accounts. This section covers running one: its identity, what survives a restart, how its config changes, what its own page shows and how far you can trust it.
- Roster — the agents of a hive, and who may do what to whom.
- Persistence — what survives a restart, a destroy and a purge.
- Config changes — how a change to an agent's config flows from a pull request to its container.
- The agent's web page — the per-agent terminal view, its actions and its endpoints.
- Security model — the trust model, the prompt-injection threat model and credential isolation.
The swarm creates and configures agents: the create form and its archetypes
are in swarm/archetypes.md, logging an agent in to
claude is in swarm/claude-login.md, and you set
an agent's permissions with swarmctl agent permissions or on the swarm UI.
What an agent can do inside its container is in
4-implementation/agent-tools/.
