Bootstrap a (re)started Ship of Tools FE session — set the win-fe handle, point relay sends at the local SSH tunnel to the backend Unix socket, re-arm the fast-comm wake (fe-inbox Monitor), and catch up on anything missed during the down-window. Fires automatically as the first turn after an ADR-0017 FE relaunch (via the [terminal] resume_command, i.e. claude --continue "/sot-fe-session-start"); also runnable manually. Activates for "fe session start", "frontend session start", "session start", "bootstrap session", "rearm fe comm", "rearm comm", "fe bootstrap session", "resume bootstrap".
Bootstrap a frontend-side Codex session for Ship of Tools. Use in a local FE terminal/Codex session to set the win-fe handle, send through the local SSH tunnel to the backend Unix socket, read the frontend-local fe-inbox, and coordinate with backend sessions without relying on old remote TCP.
Surface a result you just produced (saved plot/figure, rendered image, screenshot, PDF, HTML report, built doc, output file) in the user's Ship of Tools nav/preview pane — badge it (shown completely, nav + preview, when the user looks; their session is never stolen), never merely name it in text. Fire whenever your work creates something the user should SEE.
Session-to-session messaging for Ship of Tools sessions (fork of agent-comm, cross-tmux-session and cross-machine on shared $HOME). Use when sending messages between Claude sessions, joining/leaving the sot-comm network, checking for messages, listing who is online, or starting/stopping other sessions (durable peers via ccb/ccbe, ephemeral task agents via comm-spawn). Also activates on receiving a message in "[name:repo] ..." format. Activates for "sot send", "sot comm", "comm send", "comm join", "comm poll", "broadcast to sessions", "@<session>", "comm spawn", "spawn a session", "spawn an agent", "start a session on <repo>", "despawn".
Cut a Ship of Tools release — stamp the product version everywhere, tag, and let CI build+publish the GitHub Release (ADR 0030 Phase B). Activates for "cut a release", "release vX.Y.Z", "tag a release", "publish a release", "new release" in the ship-of-tools repo.
Bootstrap a (re)started Ship of Tools BE (backend / tmux) session so it RECEIVES instant fast-comm — run the generic /sot-session-start receive-bootstrap, then add sot-specific checks: confirm a frontend is reachable, report how many FEs are attached, and pull the .claude-bus git fallback. The BE counterpart of /sot-fe-session-start (which is FE-only). Runnable manually or as a `claude --continue` resume turn. Activates for "be session start", "backend session start", "rearm be comm", "be bootstrap session".
Install or update Ship of Tools agent resources (Claude Code skills, Codex skills/hooks, and sot-comm scripts) from the package into ~/.claude, ~/.codex, ~/.local/bin, and ~/.sot-comm. Idempotent. Run after pulling the Ship of Tools repo on a machine to close version skew. Activates for "install sot", "update sot comm", "sync sot", "sot install", "reinstall comm".
Bootstrap a (re)started backend Claude session so it RECEIVES instant fast-comm on the sot-comm network — start the durable relay listener, arm the inbox Monitor that wakes the session, prove the wake path, then catch up on anything missed while it was down. Generic across all projects (no app-specific steps). Runnable manually or as a `claude --continue` resume turn. Activates for "comm session start", "comm bootstrap", "rearm comm", "start relay listener", "receive setup".
