wire-init

Set up Wire on a fresh machine or in a fresh per-session home. wire up is idempotent and owns identity creation, relay binding, persona claim, and daemon startup.

When to use

• User says "set up wire", "wire init", "wire up", or "install wire".
• wire_whoami reports that no session identity exists.
• A new agent session needs its own DID-derived persona.

Pre-flight

Verify the binary is on PATH:

command -v wire

If absent, install slancha-wire with Cargo or use a prebuilt release from https://github.com/SlanchaAi/wire/releases.

Workflow

Public relay

wire up @wireup.net

This mints the session identity, binds federation, claims the DID-derived persona, opportunistically adds local routing, and starts the daemon. Operator never chooses a separate handle.

Offline identity

wire up --offline

Bind a relay later with wire bind-relay <url>.

Custom relay

wire up https://relay.example.com

Verify

Prefer wire_whoami and wire_status through MCP. CLI equivalent:

wire whoami --json
wire status --json

Verify DID-derived persona, config_dir, endpoints, daemon health, and identity_split: null.

Common errors

• `wire` not found — install binary, then start a new agent task.
• Relay unreachable — use offline mode or a reachable local/custom relay.
• `identity_split` non-null — restart stale MCP host.

Organization identity

Use the wire-enroll skill for operator and organization enrollment.
