init -- Treeship

Usage

treeship init [OPTIONS]

What it does

Creates a new Treeship with:

An optional name
A new Ed25519 keypair, encrypted at rest

No account, no email, no network connection required. Everything is generated locally.

Example

treeship init

✓ Treeship initialized
  Ship ID:  ship_0ab4e2205a1c05c5
  Key ID:   key_f9a10fde95b3bccc


  Next:
   → treeship add               instrument your AI agents
   → treeship session start     begin recording a session

The key is encrypted at rest under .treeship/keys/. --name is recorded in the config but is not echoed back in this output.
