5.12 AI and
Developer Tools
agy
Synopsis: agy [args...]
Wrapper for the agy Antigravity AI CLI. Before launching, delegates to
agents-init --agents to ensure AGENTS/ is scaffolded and CLAUDE.md is
symlinked to AGENTS/AGENTS.md in the current project, then forwards all
arguments verbatim to the real agy binary. Command shadow (C1): when
__fish_config_op_aliases (or the master) is disabled, the call is
passed through to the real agy binary unchanged.
agy chat
agy resume
antigravity-ide
Synopsis: antigravity-ide [args...]
Runs the antigravity-ide editor with warnings filtered.
agents-init
Synopsis: agents-init [--agents | --plugins]
Scaffold an AGENTS/ sub-repository for tracking agent specs, plans, specs,
and dev logs. Creates AGENTS/ as a standalone git repo, moves any existing
AGENTS.md into it, and replaces it with a relative symlink (plus
CLAUDE.md -> AGENTS/AGENTS.md so Claude Code picks up the shared agent
instructions). Consolidates plans/ and specs/ directly under AGENTS/
(merging any legacy docs/plans, docs/superpowers/plans, or old
AGENTS/plugins/ locations into the canonical AGENTS/<tgt>), creates
AGENTS/devlogs/, and wires docs/superpowers/{plans,specs} symlinks back to
them. Adds managed paths to .gitignore and auto-commits every change inside
the AGENTS/ sub-repo; pulls first when the sub-repo has an upstream.
Fully idempotent: a second run produces no output and no new commits.
Flags: --agents re-runs only the AGENTS.md / symlink step; --plugins
re-runs only the plans/specs/devlogs wiring step. Called automatically by
the claude and agy wrappers on every invocation.
Structure versioning: each AGENTS/ repo carries a self-contained version
bumper. AGENTS/.version holds MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (seeded 1.0.0). Committed
git hooks under AGENTS/.agents-tools/ (wired via core.hooksPath) bump it on
every commit: MINOR (resetting PATCH) when the tracked directory set
changes, PATCH otherwise; MAJOR is manual-only. A prepare-commit-msg hook
appends "(vX.Y.Z)" to the commit subject. Downstream tooling can read
AGENTS/.version - a changed MINOR field signals a structure change. The
script and hooks are shipped from scripts/agents-tools/ and refreshed when
their version marker is stale.
agents-init
agents-init --agents
agents-init --plugins
claude
Synopsis: claude [args...]
Wrapper for the claude CLI. Before launching, delegates to agents-init
--agents to ensure AGENTS/ is scaffolded and CLAUDE.md is symlinked to
AGENTS/AGENTS.md in the current project, then forwards all arguments
verbatim to the real claude binary. Command shadow (C1): when
__fish_config_op_aliases (or the master) is disabled, the call is
passed through to the real claude binary unchanged.
claude
claude --resume
claude-docs
Synopsis: claude-docs

5.14 Miscellaneous
config-help
Synopsis: config-help [SECTION]
config-help [SECTION] --html
config-help [SECTION] --man
config-help -h | --help
Opens the offline fish shell configuration manual. Without flags, opens
the Markdown source in the best available pager (ov > bat > man > less >
cat). If SECTION is given, jumps to the first heading matching that
keyword (case-insensitive; checks fish-config.index aliases first).
Flags:
--html / -w Open docs/html/index.html in the default browser.
If SECTION is given, opens at the matching anchor.
Detects the browser via xdg-mime x-scheme-handler/https,
then known binaries, then xdg-open as last resort.
Respects $fish_help_browser and $BROWSER.
--man / -m Open docs/fish-config.1 via man -l directly.
If SECTION is given, jumps to the nearest match.

config-update
Synopsis: config-update [-h] [-n] [-f]
Pulls the latest fish configuration from the upstream repository
(https://git.rootiest.dev/rootiest/fish-config.git) into ~/.config/fish.
The remote URL is hard-coded, so this works on fresh clones with no git
remote configured. All git output is suppressed; colored messages report
fetch and merge status. After a successful pull, run `exec fish` to
reload.
Flags:
--dry-run / -n Fetch and show available commits without applying them.
--force / -f Stash local changes, pull, then restore the stash.
--help / -h Show usage.
config-update
config-update --dry-run
config-update --force
config-toggle
Synopsis: config-toggle [-h]
Opens an interactive TUI for toggling the six opinionated component
categories (C1–C6) and the master disable variable without having to
type or remember variable names. Two scope tabs allow independent
per-scope configuration:
Universal — persists across all sessions (set -U)
Session — current shell only (set -g)
Changes apply immediately on each value keypress. Always available
regardless of the __fish_config_opinionated master state.
The panel adapts to the terminal width automatically, selecting from
four layout tiers (with a 6-column buffer on each side before stepping
up to the next tier) and horizontally centering the box. The panel
redraws within ~0.3 s of a terminal resize with no keypress required.
COLUMNS >= 90 → 78-wide panel (most detail)
COLUMNS >= 86 → 74-wide panel
COLUMNS >= 82 → 70-wide panel
COLUMNS < 82 → 52-wide panel (default)
Navigation:
↑ ↓ / k j Move cursor
← → / h l Set value: OFF ← DEFAULT → ON (clamped)
Tab Switch scope (Universal ↔ Session)
q / Escape Exit
Left/Right (or vim-style h/l) move the highlighted value one step along
the OFF–DEFAULT–ON scale and stop at the ends. DEFAULT erases the
variable so the master switch / built-in default applies.
Flags:
--help / -h Show usage.
config-toggle
bash
Synopsis: bash [args...]
Switches to bash, with XDG config applied. On exit, $SHELL is reset
back to fish.
bd-pull
Synopsis: bd-pull <owner/repo>
Fetches unlinked Gitea issues and creates local Beads entries, updating
issue titles with the assigned Beads IDs.
Requires $GITEA_TOKEN and $GITEA_URL to be set.
bd-pull rootiest/fish-config

then man.

Fish session. Useful for sourcing Bash scripts.
replay "source ~/.bashrc"
replay "export FOO=bar"
kitty-logging
Synopsis: kitty-logging [install|uninstall|status|dismiss] [-h]
Manages the Kitty scrollback watcher that powers C5 logging. Ships a
canonical, version-marked watcher and installs it into the Kitty config
directory, wiring it into kitty.conf through a sentinel-marked managed
block. Commenting out any conflicting watcher line avoids double-capture.
Commands:
install Copy/refresh the watcher and add the managed block
uninstall Remove the managed block and the watcher file
status Show wiring, installed watcher version, and C5 state
dismiss Stop the per-session setup reminder
Runtime capture stays governed by the C5 .logging_disabled sentinel, so
disabling __fish_config_op_logging makes the watcher inert without
uninstalling. Install affects new Kitty windows only.
Example:
kitty-logging install
kitty-logging status
Synopsis: wake-lock <command> [args...]
Runs a command under systemd-inhibit, preventing the system from going
idle or sleeping until the command completes.
wake-lock rsync -avz src/ dest/
