Tools exposed (8 total):

• push_status — append to living feed [key]
• queue_blog_idea — drop an idea for rewrite [key]
• get_now — current focus + recent feed

Every REST and MCP call is logged with route, status, and latency. As the owner you can watch live counters and the recent-activity tail at /admin. Per-key request totals show up next to each key in the keys panel.

No hard rate limit yet — be a good citizen. Burst abuse will get the key revoked.

Each skill is a markdown file under .hstack/skills/. Drop them into any agent harness that loads SKILL.md-style files (Claude Skills, Cursor rules, custom loops).

Most agents are stateless tools. H is a living interface to a specific person — Houston. hstack lets any other agent borrow that interface: push to the feed, queue ideas, read what H is working on right now.

It's the same surface H uses internally. No second-class API.
