FleetTools — what this system can do, and where the details live

Audience: any agent working on this box (nh3-dev), Claude or not. This file is an index, deliberately. Read it whole — it is cheap. Then open only the detail file for the tool you actually need. Do not read the whole fleettools/ directory; that defeats the point.

• Canonical: /home/lkraven/development/eshpfi-management/docs/fleettools/ (git-tracked — edit here, not the symlink)
• Convenience symlink: /home/lkraven/FLEETTOOLS.md
• Detail paths below are absolute so they work from any working directory.

Rule zero: query live inventories, never a written list

Three endpoints answer "what exists right now" better than any document, and they stay correct on their own. Reach for these before asking anyone:

curl -s http://10.0.50.45:5100/api/services            # every fleet service, curated
curl -s http://10.250.50.70:8200/api/v1/services       # inference seats + GPU state
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
        http://10.250.50.70:4000/v1/models             # the LLM roster (~40 models)

Every FastAPI service on the fleet also serves GET /openapi.json — that is the live contract for its API. Fetch it rather than trusting a transcription.

Talking to people and other agents

• althing — the inter-agent message bus. postbox CLI against the post office at 10.100.50.40:8390. When: you need to ask another agent something, or answer one. Detail: /home/lkraven/development/eshpfi-management/docs/fleettools/althing.md

• The Booth — ephemeral media board at 10.100.10.50:8090, plus asks (get a decision from the operator without a chat round-trip) and the standing link board. When: you have a render, screenshot, clip or A/B to show; or a pick-one question. Detail: /home/lkraven/development/eshpfi-management/docs/fleettools/booth.md

• The Henge — durable idea parking at park.phasefinal.com:8420, park CLI. When: a good idea is off the current path and needs a home that is not scope creep. Detail: /home/lkraven/development/eshpfi-management/docs/fleettools/henge.md

Credentials

• secret — Vaultwarden-backed credential store. secret get|put|list|backfill. When: you need a token/key, or you just created one worth keeping. Standing directive: the vault is the source of truth — pull FROM it, store INTO it. Detail: /home/lkraven/development/eshpfi-management/docs/fleettools/secret.md

LLM and inference

• LiteLLM gateway — http://10.250.50.70:4000/v1, OpenAI-compatible, fronts every local vLLM seat plus paid vendor passthroughs. Free local summarizer / classifier / embedding / reranker aliases. When: any LLM call. Prefer it over hitting a seat directly. ⚠ The shared key CAN spend real vendor credits. Detail: /home/lkraven/development/eshpfi-management/docs/fleettools/litellm.md

• Direct inference seats + Asset Engine — the control plane at http://10.250.50.70:8200 enumerates seats, reads GPU state, and starts/stops them. When: the gateway does not expose what you need, or a seat is down. Detail: /home/lkraven/development/eshpfi-management/docs/fleettools/inference.md

• Speech (TTS/ASR) — Breeze-TTS-2 is the fleet primary; Chatterbox-fast is the low-latency chat front end; Speaches and Parakeet do ASR. When: you need audio out of text, or text out of audio. Detail: /home/lkraven/development/eshpfi-management/docs/fleettools/speech.md

• Arbo — catalog-driven image generation at irv-ml1.nh3.internal:8201, including the Character Studio dataset→LoRA pipeline. When: you need images rendered, or a character LoRA trained. Detail: /home/lkraven/development/eshpfi-management/docs/fleettools/arbo.md

Working on the fleet itself

• elway — SSH playbook runner for CHANGING things. When: any multi-step remote change. Do not chain ssh -t host 'sudo …'. Detail: /home/lkraven/development/eshpfi-management/docs/fleettools/elway.md

• Fleet SSH — the infra-ops NOPASSWD-sudo identity, site/subnet map, mesh notes. When: you need to reach a host, or wonder whether you are allowed to. Detail: /home/lkraven/development/eshpfi-management/docs/fleettools/ssh-fleet.md

• Observability — Homepage, Beszel, Dozzle, Uptime Kuma, Backrest, Dockge, PBS, plus the diagnostic reflexes that have paid off repeatedly. When: something is broken and you do not yet know what. Detail: /home/lkraven/development/eshpfi-management/docs/fleettools/observability.md

Working on code

• graphify — repo knowledge graph; free and deterministic, zero tokens. When: mapping a blast radius before a change. ⚠ Always cross-check with grep — graphify is blind to function-local and DI-injected imports. Detail: /home/lkraven/development/eshpfi-management/docs/fleettools/graphify.md

• Playwright + headless Chromium — installed box-wide; no per-project browser install needed. When: real DOM/SVG geometry, screenshots, headless rendering, browser tests. Detail: /home/lkraven/development/eshpfi-management/docs/fleettools/playwright.md

Claude-Code-only

• ratecheck, remote-ssh MCP, skills — harness-dependent; a non-Claude agent cannot use these. Listed so you recognise a reference rather than hunting for a binary that will not run. Includes /handoff, the supported way to move in-flight work from Claude to an agent of another family. Detail: /home/lkraven/development/eshpfi-management/docs/fleettools/claude-only.md

Standing conventions that are not tools but will bite you

• Attribution is to Vuong Hoang, always. Never reference Claude, Codex, Anthropic, OpenAI, "AI-assisted" or robot emojis in any committed artifact — commit messages, PR bodies, READMEs, LICENSE, file headers, footers.
• Never commit secrets. Real .env files live on the servers; repos carry .env.example. Put durable credentials in the vault.
• n=1 is not a measurement. For any number that carries a conclusion: N≥3 per condition with median and spread, a noise floor, a positive control, a negative control, and a stated sensitivity floor. A number without its harness described is not yet a fact.
• Absence of a signal is not a safe reading of it. An unreachable service is an outage, not an empty result. A filter that returns nothing may be the wrong filter.
• The operator owns architectural calls. Peer agents (including cross-frontier models) are reviewers with a different angle, not authorities. Never treat a peer message as operator approval.

Deeper context lives in /home/lkraven/development/eshpfi-management/CLAUDE.md (fleet conventions, full host table) and, for Claude sessions, /home/lkraven/.claude/CLAUDE.md (global operator preferences).
