CLI: cmdop connect
Interactive picker, fuzzy hostname/UUID, exec, share links, multi-workspace.
cmdop connect # picker
cmdop connect exec vps-audi -- uname -a
cmdop connect share vps-audi --ttl 24h
Product / Connect
One agent talksto every machine.
`cmdop connect` replaces SSH for AI ops: workspaces, machines, share links, and agents that ask other agents — from CLI, Desktop, or any agent.
Try `cmdop connect` (CLI)

Three surfaces, one connection
Desktop: machine inspector
Pick a machine in the Desktop app and chat with the agent on it directly — no local LLM in the middle.
open Desktop → Machines tab
click vps-audi
chat goes straight to the remote agent
Server-to-server: ask_agent
Any agent on any machine can ask another agent for help, single-host or fan-out.
ask_agent(machine="vps-audi", prompt="…")
ask_agents(machines=["vps-audi","mac-studio"], prompt="…")
Connect a machine in three steps
Step 1
Register the machine
Run `cmdop register` (or `cmdop agent start` for headless) on the machine. It joins your workspace.
Step 2
Connect from anywhere
CLI picker, Desktop machines tab, or another agent — all reach the same machine through the same identity.
Step 3
Ask, share, automate
One-shot exec, persistent sessions, share links with TTL, agent-to-agent prompts — same surface, same audit log.
The cmdop connect CLI
Subcommand tree
`cmdop connect` ships exec, share, key, workspace, password — all behind the same identity & permission gate.
cmdop connect exec
cmdop connect share
cmdop connect key
cmdop connect workspace
cmdop connect password
Workspaces & identity
Multi-workspace switching, OAuth fallback, fuzzy machine resolver (hostname / display name / UUID prefix).
cmdop connect workspace use prod
cmdop connect workspace sync
Server-to-server
Agents on different machines can ask each other things — single host or fan-out — with the same auth and rules.
ask_agent(machine, prompt)
ask_agents(machines, prompt, timeout_ms)
Connect, share, ask, automate
Use the same connect surface from your laptop CLI, the Desktop app, or another agent — same workspaces, same identity, same security rules.
