 ## Connect Your Local Agent
 
-Connect the agent the user is speaking to. Identify your runtime and profile first. Never choose OpenClaw merely because it is installed on the same machine as Hermes.
+Connect the agent the user is speaking to. Identify your runtime, bot/profile, and actual host first. Computer access does not mean you run on that computer. Never substitute another installed agent.
+
+## Choose a connection by interface (oomi-ai 0.8.3+)
+
+Run setup on the host where **this agent** runs. A Grok Bot with access to someone's Mac still runs on its Grok Bot host; connecting an OpenClaw agent on that Mac does not connect the Grok Bot. No new model API key or replacement bot is needed.
+
+1. Identify yourself from your current runtime context: bot/profile identity, host, and conversation behavior. Do not guess from installed executables or names.
+2. Run `oomi capabilities`. OpenClaw and Hermes have native adapters. Grok Bot has the webhook adapter described below. An unlisted brand is not automatically unsupported: inspect its documented message input **and completed-reply** interfaces (CLI, API, SDK, webhook, or inbound channel).
+3. For another runtime, use `--runtime command` to wrap those interfaces and return `{text, sessionId?}` only when the same agent has finished. A health endpoint or an accepted/queued response is not a final reply. If no supported input or reply interface exists, state that specific missing capability; never invent one or select another agent.
+4. Preserve identity, memories and host approvals. Say whether you resume an exact existing conversation or keep an Oomi conversation with the same agent. Verify a real reply before sharing an Auth Link; verify delivery in Oomi before claiming completion.
+
+### Grok Bot: connect the existing bot
+
+Oomi uses Grok Bot's documented **webhook-only routine**, owned by the existing bot, plus a private request/reply inbox on that bot's host. It does not use an undocumented gateway message endpoint. The routine is a transport, not an Oomi reminder or a new bot.
+
+On the Grok Bot host, run `oomi grokbot instructions --name YOUR_CONNECTION --agent-id YOUR_BOT_UUID`. Follow the printed fixed routine instruction with the bot's normal routine tools. Save the platform-issued HTTPS webhook URL and key to the printed private `grokbot.json` (mode 0600). Never paste credentials into chat. Then run:
+
+```bash
+oomi connect --runtime grokbot --name YOUR_CONNECTION --agent-id YOUR_BOT_UUID --agent-name "Your name" --app-url https://www.oomi.ai
+```
+
+Setup returns **queued**, then waits in the background. Finish your current bot turn so the verification webhook can execute; waiting for your own verification in that same turn deadlocks the host. The routine runs `oomi grokbot claim`, continues only for `status: claimed`, and submits its final result with `oomi grokbot reply`. A verification answer must be exactly `OOMI_OK`. The reply command reports the Auth Link only after verification, pairing and bridge subscription succeed. If it reports pending, finish the turn and use `oomi grokbot status --name YOUR_CONNECTION` later. Queued is not connected. A webhook HTTP 200 means accepted, not answered.
+
+Use the same explicit `--connection YOUR_CONNECTION` for all Oomi account commands: routine runs do not inherit the bridge's environment. Text and voice transcripts are supported; photos are rejected. Oomi supplies conversation history; exact Grok Bot desktop/DM conversation continuation is not guaranteed. Host approvals remain in Grok Bot. Do not repeat an uncertain or already-claimed action; check the original run. Successful reconnects reuse verification and pairing. `oomi verify --name YOUR_CONNECTION` explicitly queues a new verification.
+
+Linux automatic recovery requires an available systemd user service. If the bot host uses an existing external supervisor instead, configure that supervisor for `oomi bridge start --name YOUR_CONNECTION --service-managed` and explicitly use `connect --no-service`; a detached process alone is not durable recovery. Optional `--skills-dir PATH` installs/refreshes the guide in a host-supported directory. Otherwise use `oomi instructions` directly.
+
+The adapter is tested on Oomi's side. Each real host must pass its verification and an Oomi message round trip before being reported as connected end to end. Official host contract: https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/routines .

+Shared desktop conversations require Hermes's loopback WebSocket gateway, active-session discovery, and durable prompt/reply row IDs. Busy conversations ask you to retry after the current task. If a simultaneous desktop send queues your message without a reply receipt, or the connection drops after sending, check the same Hermes chat before resending. Oomi cannot safely repeat an uncertain action. Human approvals stay in the existing Hermes desktop UI. Shared photo submission is not yet supported; use Hermes desktop for that photo. Older or terminal-only owners without a shared gateway receive an actionable error, never a competing process. The shared owner keeps its existing environment, so use the explicit Oomi `--connection NAME` for account commands.
 
 The command verifies a real local reply, reuses saved credentials or pairs once, starts the bridge, waits for Oomi's subscription, then creates a single-use Auth Link. Failed verification means setup is incomplete: repair the selected runtime, never substitute a different one.

 # Oomi Local Agent Operator Guide
 
-Connect the agent the user is speaking to. Identify your runtime and profile first. Never choose OpenClaw merely because it is installed on the same machine as Hermes.
+Connect the agent the user is speaking to. Identify your runtime, bot/profile, and actual host first. Computer access does not mean you run on that computer. Never substitute another installed agent.
+
+## Choose a connection by interface (oomi-ai 0.8.3+)
+
+Run setup on the host where **this agent** runs. A Grok Bot with access to someone's Mac still runs on its Grok Bot host; connecting an OpenClaw agent on that Mac does not connect the Grok Bot. No new model API key or replacement bot is needed.
+
+1. Identify yourself from your current runtime context: bot/profile identity, host, and conversation behavior. Do not guess from installed executables or names.
+2. Run `oomi capabilities`. OpenClaw and Hermes have native adapters. Grok Bot has the webhook adapter described below. An unlisted brand is not automatically unsupported: inspect its documented message input **and completed-reply** interfaces (CLI, API, SDK, webhook, or inbound channel).
+3. For another runtime, use `--runtime command` to wrap those interfaces and return `{text, sessionId?}` only when the same agent has finished. A health endpoint or an accepted/queued response is not a final reply. If no supported input or reply interface exists, state that specific missing capability; never invent one or select another agent.
+4. Preserve identity, memories and host approvals. Say whether you resume an exact existing conversation or keep an Oomi conversation with the same agent. Verify a real reply before sharing an Auth Link; verify delivery in Oomi before claiming completion.
+
+### Grok Bot: connect the existing bot
+
+Oomi uses Grok Bot's documented **webhook-only routine**, owned by the existing bot, plus a private request/reply inbox on that bot's host. It does not use an undocumented gateway message endpoint. The routine is a transport, not an Oomi reminder or a new bot.
+
+On the Grok Bot host, run `oomi grokbot instructions --name YOUR_CONNECTION --agent-id YOUR_BOT_UUID`. Follow the printed fixed routine instruction with the bot's normal routine tools. Save the platform-issued HTTPS webhook URL and key to the printed private `grokbot.json` (mode 0600). Never paste credentials into chat. Then run:
+
+```bash
+oomi connect --runtime grokbot --name YOUR_CONNECTION --agent-id YOUR_BOT_UUID --agent-name "Your name" --app-url https://www.oomi.ai
+```
+
+Setup returns **queued**, then waits in the background. Finish your current bot turn so the verification webhook can execute; waiting for your own verification in that same turn deadlocks the host. The routine runs `oomi grokbot claim`, continues only for `status: claimed`, and submits its final result with `oomi grokbot reply`. A verification answer must be exactly `OOMI_OK`. The reply command reports the Auth Link only after verification, pairing and bridge subscription succeed. If it reports pending, finish the turn and use `oomi grokbot status --name YOUR_CONNECTION` later. Queued is not connected. A webhook HTTP 200 means accepted, not answered.
+
+Use the same explicit `--connection YOUR_CONNECTION` for all Oomi account commands: routine runs do not inherit the bridge's environment. Text and voice transcripts are supported; photos are rejected. Oomi supplies conversation history; exact Grok Bot desktop/DM conversation continuation is not guaranteed. Host approvals remain in Grok Bot. Do not repeat an uncertain or already-claimed action; check the original run. Successful reconnects reuse verification and pairing. `oomi verify --name YOUR_CONNECTION` explicitly queues a new verification.
+
+Linux automatic recovery requires an available systemd user service. If the bot host uses an existing external supervisor instead, configure that supervisor for `oomi bridge start --name YOUR_CONNECTION --service-managed` and explicitly use `connect --no-service`; a detached process alone is not durable recovery. Optional `--skills-dir PATH` installs/refreshes the guide in a host-supported directory. Otherwise use `oomi instructions` directly.
+
+The adapter is tested on Oomi's side. Each real host must pass its verification and an Oomi message round trip before being reported as connected end to end. Official host contract: https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/routines .

-Use the user's app URL when provided. Hermes supports `--profile <profile>` and `--resume <exact-session-id>`. Without `--resume`, Oomi starts a persistent conversation with the same configured agent. Do not use `latest` or claim that an existing chat session was transferred unless its exact ID was selected. Hermes uses `chat --quiet --query-file -`, reads the final reply from stdout and the exact `session_id` from stderr, and resumes that ID on subsequent turns.

Without `--resume`, Oomi starts a persistent conversation with the same configured agent. Do not use `latest` or claim that an existing chat session was transferred unless its exact ID was selected. With oomi-ai 0.8.2+, an already-open Hermes conversation uses its existing local gateway owner and exact profile/session. Oomi attaches as another client; it never closes desktop, clears history, deletes a session lock, or substitutes a new chat. When no live owner exists, Hermes uses `chat --quiet --query-file -` and resumes the exact returned `session_id` on subsequent turns.
+
+Shared desktop conversations require Hermes's loopback WebSocket gateway, active-session discovery, and durable prompt/reply row IDs. Busy conversations ask you to retry after the current task. If a simultaneous desktop send queues your message without a reply receipt, or the connection drops after sending, check the same Hermes chat before resending. Oomi cannot safely repeat an uncertain action. Human approvals stay in the existing Hermes desktop UI. Shared photo submission is not yet supported; use Hermes desktop for that photo. Older or terminal-only owners without a shared gateway receive an actionable error, never a competing process. The shared owner keeps its existing environment, so use the explicit Oomi `--connection NAME` for account commands.
 
 The command verifies a real local reply, reuses saved credentials or pairs once, starts the bridge, waits for Oomi's subscription, then creates a single-use Auth Link. Failed verification means setup is incomplete: repair the selected runtime, never substitute a different one.

If it reports pending, finish the turn and use `oomi grokbot status --name YOUR_CONNECTION` later. Queued is not connected. A webhook HTTP 200 means accepted, not answered.
+
+Use the same explicit `--connection YOUR_CONNECTION` for all Oomi account commands: routine runs do not inherit the bridge's environment. Text and voice transcripts are supported; photos are rejected. Oomi supplies conversation history; exact Grok Bot desktop/DM conversation continuation is not guaranteed. Host approvals remain in Grok Bot. Do not repeat an uncertain or already-claimed action; check the original run. Successful reconnects reuse verification and pairing. `oomi verify --name YOUR_CONNECTION` explicitly queues a new verification.
+
+Linux automatic recovery requires an available systemd user service. If the bot host uses an existing external supervisor instead, configure that supervisor for `oomi bridge start --name YOUR_CONNECTION --service-managed` and explicitly use `connect --no-service`; a detached process alone is not durable recovery. Optional `--skills-dir PATH` installs/refreshes the guide in a host-supported directory. Otherwise use `oomi instructions` directly.
+
+The adapter is tested on Oomi's side. Each real host must pass its verification and an Oomi message round trip before being reported as connected end to end. Official host contract: https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/routines .

-Use the user's app URL when provided. Hermes supports `--profile <profile>` and `--resume <exact-session-id>`. Without `--resume`, Oomi starts a persistent conversation with the same configured agent. Do not use `latest` or claim that an existing chat session was transferred unless its exact ID was selected. Hermes uses `chat --quiet --query-file -`, reads the final reply from stdout and the exact `session_id` from stderr, and resumes that ID on subsequent turns.
+Use the user's app URL when provided. Hermes supports `--profile <profile>` and `--resume <exact-session-id>`. Without `--resume`, Oomi starts a persistent conversation with the same configured agent. Do not use `latest` or claim that an existing chat session was transferred unless its exact ID was selected. With oomi-ai 0.8.2+, an already-open Hermes conversation uses its existing local gateway owner and exact profile/session. Oomi attaches as another client; it never closes desktop, clears history, deletes a session lock, or substitutes a new chat. When no live owner exists, Hermes uses `chat --quiet --query-file -` and resumes the exact returned `session_id` on subsequent turns.
+
+Shared desktop conversations require Hermes's loopback WebSocket gateway, active-session discovery, and durable prompt/reply row IDs. Busy conversations ask you to retry after the current task. If a simultaneous desktop send queues your message without a reply receipt, or the connection drops after sending, check the same Hermes chat before resending. Oomi cannot safely repeat an uncertain action. Human approvals stay in the existing Hermes desktop UI. Shared photo submission is not yet supported; use Hermes desktop for that photo. Older or terminal-only owners without a shared gateway receive an actionable error, never a competing process. The shared owner keeps its existing environment, so use the explicit Oomi `--connection NAME` for account commands.
 
 The first connection verifies a real local reply (reconnects reuse verification), reuses saved credentials or pairs once, starts the bridge, waits for Oomi's subscription, then creates a single-use Auth Link. Failed verification means setup is incomplete: repair the selected runtime, never substitute a different one.
