charter

browser

Drive a real browser for a task that needs one — a web login, an end-to-end check, verifying a UI, reaching something behind auth — with credentials pulled from a vault so charter hands the password to the browser instead of you typing it into the conversation. Use when browser automation needs to authenticate, or when several workers each need their own logged-in session.

handoff

Hand a request that does not belong in this chat to a new chat — in this workspace or another — that starts working on a brief the operator approved. Use when a request should run somewhere other than this conversation, or when asked to hand off, open a chat for something, or move work to another workspace.

persona

Adopt, create, or route work to a charter persona — a role with its own charter, memory and vault. Use when asked to act as a role, to switch or create a persona, or when deciding which persona a piece of work belongs to.

secrets

Use a credential held in a charter vault — a database password, API token, kubeconfig, SSH key or server login — without its value entering the conversation. Use when a task needs a secret, when asked to store one, or before running any command that requires a credential.

update

Update charter to a newer version and adopt what it brings — moves the CLI, this harness's artifact and the pin, then walks what this plane has not taken up. Use when asked to update or upgrade charter, whether a newer charter is published, what a version added, or how to adopt a new charter feature.

working-in-a-clone

Do real work inside a repo a workspace owns — build, test, change, commit. Use when asked to work on a named repo from a control plane, and to get the boundary right between the plane's session and the repo's own configuration.
