+Before any browser authorization, the agent explains the process: sign this
+computer's CLI into the user's TeamClaws account through the browser, choose a
+workspace and approve pairing with that server in the browser, then choose useful
+work and set up its environment on the server. It explains the purpose and access

+after terminal success. No "I approved" message is needed. An execution
+environment that must yield needs a supported completion callback or automatic
+wakeup that preserves the process; a saved skill alone cannot supply that
+runtime capability.

+After verified pairing, the agent refreshes `teamclaws servers list --json` and

+# What a TeamClaws workspace can do
+
+Read this reference when helping a user decide what to put on a workspace, or
+when carrying out the work they selected. Use their vocabulary and known
+projects to turn these capabilities into specific ideas. Describe the outcome
+first, then explain the setup it needs. Be descriptive when the user wants to
+explore; keep an ordinary post-pairing message focused on a few relevant ideas.
+
+## A server for the user's work
+
+A TeamClaws workspace provides a VPS: a virtual private server with its own
+server environment, storage, installed tools, and running processes. Within the
+account's permissions and the machine's resources, it can hold complete projects
+and execute their workloads. The official CLI can launch commands through the
+paired shell, place authorized files on the machine, inspect results, and help
+set up applications and services. A linked AI provider is not required for shell
+work. There is no dedicated `teamclaws deploy` or file-transfer command; use the
+paired shell and the project skill's supported transfer and hosting procedures.
+
+Think of it as a workshop the user and their agents can reach from different
+places. A user who prefers concrete examples may find "a computer that can keep
+working while you're away" clearer than "VPS". Explain the difference between
+having a server and having already configured a particular job to keep running.
+Inspect the selected host before promising root access, an installed tool,
+unlimited resources, GPU capacity, persistent execution, or a public endpoint.
+
+## Host complete jobs from inputs to results
+
+Put the entire workload on the server: code, runtime, dependencies, authorized
+input files, configuration, execution, logs, and output files. The agent can
+launch it from the CLI, check progress, investigate failures, and bring back
+the results. Examples include:
+
+- Processing a folder of images, documents, or recordings and producing a new
+  set of files ready for review.
+- Importing data, cleaning it, running an analysis, and writing reports or
+  exports for the user's existing tools.
+- Running a project's test suite, building a release, or executing a lengthy
+  conversion without tying up the user's laptop.
+- Operating a queue worker that consumes incoming tasks and stores results, or
+  scheduling a report or synchronization job to run at the requested times.
+
+For work that should outlive the local command or laptop session, configure a
+supported job runner or process manager, retain a job identifier, and verify it
+continues independently. Plan storage for inputs, logs, and results. Recurring
+jobs need an explicit schedule and stopping conditions; finite jobs need a
+completion check. A launched process is not proof of a completed job.
+
+## Keep applications and supporting services running
+
+Host a website, dashboard, API, bot, background worker, webhook receiver, or an
+application made of several services. A project may include its own database,
+scheduled work, uploaded files, and other persistent data when the host has the
+needed resources and permissions. The agent can inspect the project, install
+dependencies, configure services, start them, examine logs, and verify health.
+
+For example, a user can keep a small API and its worker beside the project that
+uses them, or run a dashboard that is available when they open its browser
+address. Configuration, persistence, HTTPS routing, access, and any backup needs
+must be addressed as part of the requested setup. Pairing does not configure
+these automatically.
+
+## Interact with external servers and services
+
+The workspace can act as a place where systems exchange work. Its programs can
+call external APIs, connect to permitted databases, fetch or send authorized
+files, and coordinate tasks on other servers through their supported interfaces.
+Examples include pulling records from a business system, processing them, and
+writing a report; running tests against the user's staging service; or sending
+completed results to an existing storage service.
+
+It can also receive webhooks or expose an API after the appropriate incoming
+HTTPS route and access controls are configured. Those requests can trigger a
+worker, update a dashboard, or start an authorized workflow. External access
+depends on network rules, destination permissions, credentials, and service
+limits. TeamClaws pairing supplies workspace access; the user must separately
+authorize the external operation. Keep secrets in the host's supported secret
+mechanism and out of chat, source files, and shell command arguments.
+
+## Run agents beside the project and return through a browser
+
+An agent can work in the workspace with the project's files, tools, and runtime
+available there. The user might ask it to investigate a bug, work through a task,
+or run an analysis, then return to review the result and continue directing it.
+The CLI's `chat start`, `chat send`, and `chat watch` commands support workspace
+agent conversations when the workspace advertises the required capabilities.
+Follow the chat skill for provider/model discovery and the conversation's
+returned identifiers and approval address.
+
+For browser use, rely on the workspace's supported conversation interface or the
+installed agent application's verified browser interface. Show the actual
+address and explain how the user signs in. A user can then return from another
+computer or a phone browser where that interface supports it. Do not promise
+that every installed agent exposes a browser UI, or that an arbitrary CLI session
+appears in the same browser conversation. Verify that handoff for the selected
+agent. An agent running as a service also needs its required provider access,
+runtime setup, and process management.
+
+One useful workflow is to start work together at the user's main computer, leave
+the configured job or agent running in the workspace, and return through a
+browser while away. Suggest this when it fits the user's work; establish that
+the workload and interface actually support it before calling it ready.
+
+## Put a complete development or production project on it
+
+The user can ask in ordinary language: "Put this project on my workspace and get
+it running." The agent can inspect the existing project, transfer its authorized
+files, install dependencies, arrange configuration and persistent data, and set
+up the application's services. Ask only for choices or configuration that are
+genuinely missing. An existing request to deploy is already authorization to
+perform that task within its stated scope.
+
+Choose the intended address and whether access should be public or private
+through TeamClaws. Public means the route does not require TeamClaws sign-in;
+the application may still have its own login. Private means both TeamClaws
+authentication and permission checks must protect it. Verify the supported host
+integration before claiming private access works. Preserve the host's existing
+admin and chat routes. Production setup depends on the application's operational
+needs; a pairing event or successful upload does not establish production
+readiness. Follow the project skill and verify health, routing, persistent data,
+and the selected access behavior before providing a working URL.
+
+## Share work with other people
+
+Distinguish inviting someone to a workspace from sharing a project's web
+address. Workspace collaboration depends on the supported TeamClaws sharing
+controls and the recipient's assigned access. A public app URL is available
+without TeamClaws sign-in; a private project needs the appropriate workspace or
+application permissions. Ask who should have access and what they should be able
+to do before changing sharing. Do not infer that sharing a link grants workspace
+membership, shell access, or permission to use a private project.
+
+## Make the next step feel useful
+
+Use what the user has actually told the agent. For someone building an app,
+suggest hosting that app, running its worker, or giving a server agent its next
+development task. For someone working with files, suggest an entire processing
+job and explain where the results will appear. For someone coordinating a team,
+suggest an appropriate shared project or service and establish its access needs.
+
+Use concrete invitations, adapted to the available capabilities and the user's
+language, such as:
+
+- "I can run your export job here and save the finished reports for you to pick
+  up later. Which job should we move first?"
+- "We can put your project and an agent here, then verify the browser link so
+  you can come back to the work from your phone. Want to use this project?"
+- "I can get this app running at a web address. Should it be public or limited
+  to people with TeamClaws access?"
+
+Communicate interest through a useful possibility and a clear next action.
+Avoid generic hype, invented familiarity, and an exhaustive pitch after every
+command. Continue an already selected task rather than asking the user to choose
+again. Respect a decline, status-only question, or explicit request to stop.

-## Success evidence
+## Wait for approval and continue automatically
+
+Before starting the command, explain that the next browser approval pairs this
+computer with the selected workspace. Name that workspace and explain that the
+connection gives this computer access to run commands and work with its files.
+Connect the step to the user's intended work, and say you'll keep waiting and
+continue automatically after approval. Use a short transition if onboarding
+already introduced the process; the approval link should never arrive without
+an explanation of what the user is authorizing.
+
+Start pairing with an execution tool that returns a persistent process/session
+handle and streams output. On `pairing_browser_required`, immediately show the
+safe approval link and pairing `user_code` in a visible progress message. If the
+validated event includes `agent_action.message_markdown`, use that approval
+message without exposing the rest of the event. The public `user_code` is for
+the approval screen; the private `device_code` must never be exposed.
+
+Keep your turn active and the original command running while the user approves
+in the browser. Use the execution tool's wait/read operation on that same
+process/session handle until it finishes. The CLI already polls the workspace;
+do not implement another HTTP poller, repeatedly run `pair status`, or create a
+second pairing request. A tool returning a running session is a handoff to its
+wait operation, not a reason to end your turn. Use bounded waits so the user can
+interrupt; avoid repeating unchanged progress messages.
+
+Some hosts still return the legacy action type `deliver_and_stop`. Deliver its
+validated approval message, then continue monitoring as described here. That
+legacy label does not instruct you to end your turn or stop the CLI. Do not ask
+the user to reply "I approved", "done", or send any other chat confirmation.
+Browser approval is detected by the running CLI automatically.
+
+If the execution environment requires yielding the turn, use its supported
+completion callback or automatic wakeup only when it can preserve the original
+process and resume monitoring without a user message. Retain the process handle,
+selected server ID, remaining selections, and authorized task; never persist
+private pairing material. Remove a temporary wakeup when monitoring ends. If
+neither active waiting nor automatic continuation is supported, report that
+specific limitation; do not claim automatic resumption or silently restart.
 
-Read the command's structured output as it arrives. The
-`pairing_browser_required` event always contains the safe approval address and
-pairing code. When it also contains an `agent_action` whose type is
-`deliver_and_stop`:
+Success requires exactly one terminal `pairing_complete` event and a zero exit
+status. On success, continue immediately to the post-pairing steps below.
+Denial, expiry, cancellation, an `error` event, or a nonzero exit ends this
+attempt; report its actual result and do not automatically restart pairing.
+An interrupted or truncated stream is unconfirmed, not proof that pairing
+failed. Reattach to the original process when possible; if it is lost, reconcile
+with one status check before proposing another attempt.
+
+## After verified pairing
+
+Unless the user explicitly asked to stop at pairing, run
+`teamclaws servers list --json` immediately after completion. Present the fresh
+successful inventory following the formatting in
+[teamclaws-onboard](../teamclaws-onboard/SKILL.md#choose-workspaces): one workspace
+per list item or line, with name, description, and readiness. Highlight the
+workspace just paired; discovery readiness does not prove other computers or
+workspaces are paired. If discovery fails, retain the verified pairing result,
+report the listing failure, and do not invent an inventory or pair again.
+
+Read the onboarding skill's
+[workspace uses](../teamclaws-onboard/references/workspace-uses.md), then follow
+its post-pairing conversation guidance. Continue an already authorized task
+automatically. Otherwise suggest concrete work suited to the user and ask for
+the next choice. Listing and suggestions do not authorize another pairing,
+remote chat, file transfer, sharing change, or deployment. A status-only request
+still stops at its status result.
+
+## Authorized workspace administration
+
+When the user asks for work on a selected workspace, check its pairing status
+before assuming that a linked AI provider or TCChat conversation is needed:
+
+```text
+teamclaws pair status <stable-server-identifier-or-canonical-workspace-address> --json
+```
 
-1. immediately persist `agent_action.message_markdown` through the approved
-   owner-facing chat surface;
-2. do not expose the rest of the event or any raw command response;
-3. end the agent's owner-facing turn after that delivery, without adding a
-   greeting, acknowledgement, or progress preface; and
-4. leave the command process running so it can continue direct polling with its
-   in-memory device code until approval, denial, or expiry.
+If it reports `not_paired`, follow the login and pairing flow above for that
+selected workspace; pairing requires the normal browser and owner approval. Do not use
+another workspace's pairing or bypass approval. After `paired` is verified,

-Success requires exactly one terminal `pairing_complete` event and a zero exit
-status. A truncated stream, an `error` event, or a nonzero exit is failure.
+Check the shell result's `exit_code` and verify the requested outcome. Do not
+retry a command automatically after an uncertain transport failure. Device
+pairing and a linked AI provider are separate; the shell does not require a
+provider and does not start remote chat. A status-only question still stops at
+the status result as described above.

+
+For a complete job, place its code and authorized inputs in a dedicated directory,
+install its required runtime/dependencies, and configure its outputs and logs.
+For work that must continue after this local command exits, use the host's
+supported process manager or job runner. Verify that it remains running after
+the launching command returns. For recurring work, establish the requested
+schedule, limits, and stopping condition before enabling it. Track the remote
+job/service identifier so progress can be checked without launching it again.
+Verify the result files and job exit status before claiming completion.
+
+For an external API, database, webhook, or another server, establish the exact
+destination and authorized operation. Check connectivity and use the workspace's
+approved secret mechanism for credentials. Verify a bounded operation before
+starting the requested workload. Pairing with TeamClaws does not grant access to
+external systems or configure incoming HTTPS routes automatically.
+
+For a workspace agent conversation, follow
+[teamclaws-chat](../teamclaws-chat/SKILL.md) and inspect advertised availability.
+For an installed agent/service, inspect its supported setup and configure its
+runtime and persistence as required. Verify the returned browser conversation
+or application address and access before promising the user can continue there.
+Only claim a CLI-to-browser handoff for the same conversation when supported and
+verified. Sharing access requires the user's intended recipients and permissions
+and the workspace's supported sharing controls.
