Agent Usage

All commands output JSON when stdout isn't a TTY, or when --json is forced:

honcho peer list --json
honcho workspace inspect --json | jq '.peers'

Errors are structured:

{
  "error": {
    "code": "PEER_NOT_FOUND",
    "message": "Peer 'abc' not found in workspace 'my-ws'",
    "details": {"workspace_id": "my-ws", "peer_id": "abc"}
  }
}

Context Threading

Set defaults to avoid repeating IDs:

honcho config set peer_id peer_abc123
honcho peer inspect          # uses default
honcho peer card             # uses default
honcho peer inspect other_id # positional arg overrides
