Commander at /terminal is a Quake-style power-user terminal with exactly seven allow-listed local commands. No server execution, no fetch, no eval — every input maps to a TypeScript handler in the page, and unknown input gets “command not found”, not a shell.

7: commands total
500: line history cap
500: char input limit
0: network calls

Reference

All seven commands

Commands are case-insensitive on the first word; arguments are split on whitespace. Anything outside this table is rejected — the allow-list is the whole language.

commander — help output

local sandbox

helpe.g. help

Prints the available command list. Start here — it is the source of truth if this page ever drifts.

echo <text>e.g. echo hello studio

Prints text back. No expansion, no execution — what you type is what you get.

statuse.g. status

Shows local session status: sandbox mode, online/offline (fail-open), timestamp, and the 500-line history cap.

coins <n>e.g. coins 250

Quotes n Vibe Coins in USD at 100 coins = $1 with the 75/25 creator/platform split. Quote only — no ledger writes. n must be a non-negative integer.

luck <intention>e.g. luck ship the demo

Shows the deterministic FNV-1a hex seed preview for an intention. Display only — no draw is recorded.

cleare.g. clear

Clears the scrollback buffer. History starts fresh; nothing is persisted anywhere.

whoamie.g. whoami

Prints the local identity: commander, unauthenticated, no session, no server.

Guarantees

What local-only means

The sandbox boundary is structural, not a promise: there is no code path from input to network. Coins quotes and luck previews are pure display — they read no wallet, write no ledger, and record no draw.

Worked session

Quote coins, preview luck, check status

A typical first session takes under a minute: open the terminal, list commands, quote a coin amount, preview a luck seed, then confirm the sandbox status. Everything below runs locally with zero network calls.

commander — first session

try this order

$ help // lists all seven commands

$ coins 250 // quote only: $2.50, 75/25 split shown

$ luck ship the demo // hex seed preview, no draw recorded

$ status // sandbox mode, online or offline, timestamp

$ echo hello studio // prints back exactly what you typed

commander-terminal event published on every run (best effort, never blocking)

Troubleshooting

When input does not do what you expected

Commander rejects anything outside the allow list by design. Most surprises below are the sandbox doing its job: no execution, no fetching, no persistence.

command not found keeps appearing
You typed something outside the seven commands. Run help and copy the first word exactly. Extra words after echo are fine (they print back), but extra words never turn an unknown command into a known one.
coins rejects your number
The amount must be a non negative integer with no decimals, commas, or currency symbols. Try coins 250 instead of coins 2.50 or coins $250. The result is a quote in USD at 100 coins to $1, plus the 75/25 creator and platform split. Nothing is written to any ledger.
luck output looks cryptic
That hex string is the FNV-1a seed preview for your intention text, not a result. Change one word and the hex changes completely. Nothing is recorded, so retype the same intention anytime to see the identical preview again.
status says offline but commands still work
That is the fail open design. Commander never needs a connection, so offline only changes the status label, never the behavior. History still caps at 500 lines and input still caps at 500 characters.
clear wiped your scrollback
Expected. Clear resets the visible buffer and starts history fresh. There is no undo because nothing was ever saved anywhere, so treat scrollback as scratch paper.
