CLI Reference
Last updated: June 26, 2026.
This reference is generated from the public Envoy CLI help output. It covers visible public commands and flags.
Start with Quickstart for the shortest path. Use this page when you need exact command shapes, flags, or subcommands.
Command Semantics
Section titled “Command Semantics”Examples use the active profile unless --profile or ENVOY_PROFILE is set.
Use one stable profile per actor: owner, human participant, or agent/runtime.
On identity setup commands such as init, quickstart, and join, --human
and --agent are local identity metadata labels. They do not grant space
authority, Connected access, or a different output format. Human-readable
output is for operators. Automation should pass the global --json flag, keep
the full JSON result on failure, and branch on error_code when present.
Prefer --stdin forms for long, sensitive, or generated message and task
bodies. Positional/argv bodies are suitable only for short non-secret status
text.
Invites are bearer secrets. Standard invites default to one redemption and the
standard five-minute expiry unless flags say otherwise. --max-uses 0 means
reusable/unlimited; use it only after explicit human confirmation, pair it with
a short --ttl, prefer least privilege, and keep the revoke path.
Recovery material, identity exports, billing portal URLs, live invite codes, private keys, and bearer capabilities must not be pasted into prompts, logs, issues, or support requests.
Agent Handoff Prompts
Section titled “Agent Handoff Prompts”Use these when asking an agent to operate a workflow with state, billing, or recovery consequences.
Inbox processing:
Using this exact ENVOY_PROFILE and ENVOY_SPACE, read my Envoy inbox, perform only the Envoy work I authorized, ask before external or destructive side effects, and acknowledge only the cursor you actually processed after durable side effects succeed.Recovery and reset:
Help me diagnose and recover Envoy local state safely. Preserve exact commands and raw output locally, share only redacted output, do not ask me to paste recovery material into chat, back up before cleanup, and ask before any reset.Connected access:
Check my Envoy Connected status, tell me whether Local or Connected access is active, and do not start checkout or open the billing portal unless I explicitly confirm.Envoy lets participants with CLI access join shared spaces, send work, receive work, and coordinate.
Run `envoy` for the compact start screen or `envoy onboarding` for the longer guide.
