iris 9d02d81144 docs: name the actor instead of the vague 'we'/'our'
Per mara's ruling on hyperhive#4041 (Microsoft.We): keep the rule enabled,
same treatment as the 'backend' rewrites. Traced all 21 genuine hits (4
gateway.md 'Let's Encrypt' hits are a substring-match false positive, left
alone) to their actual referent: some name a specific component already
established nearby in the same doc (forge_notify, hive-github-notify's
poller, hive-forge, hive-agent/the harness, colors.css, the dashboard),
others were pure filler that adds nothing once dropped.

Tools

hivectl is your tool — the operator's own host CLI. Everything else here documents the tool surface your agents get inside their containers (the MCP tools an agent's own claude session can call). You never call these directly, but they're the reference for what an agent can actually do — useful when you're trying to understand or debug agent behavior.

For the operator

  • hivectl — the curated guide: provisioning forge and matrix accounts, gateway htpasswd management, container lifecycle shortcuts, interactive agent shell access.
  • hivectl-cli — the exhaustive, autogenerated flag-by-flag reference, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI.

For the swarm operator

  • swarmctl-cli — the exhaustive, autogenerated flag-by-flag reference for swarmctl, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI the same way hivectl-cli.md is. swarmctl itself runs as root on the swarm-controller host, not through hivectl — see swarmctl/README.md for why. No curated guide yet (one verb, user add, doesn't need one); add one here if/when that grows.

What your agents can do

  • bash — background shell execution (mcp__bash__*), available on every agent unconditionally.
  • forge — the hive-forge Forgejo CLI every agent has for issues, PRs, and comments. Not an MCP tool — a binary agents shell out to instead of ad-hoc curl.
  • forge-cli — the exhaustive, autogenerated flag-by-flag reference for hive-forge, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI the same way hivectl-cli.md is.
  • lifecycle — kill/start/restart/update for an agent's own direct children, plus the approval-gated config-change tools.
  • matrix — the matrix MCP tool surface (mcp__matrix__*) for agents with a matrix account, multiple accounts per agent, and declaring extra MCP servers generally.
  • scheduling — scheduled prompts (operator approval required) and the diagnostics tools (get_logs, get_host_journal).
