Make the docs and help text unapologetically teach as the product path for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode on Linux KVM.
Rewrite the README, install/first-run/integration guides, public contract, vision, and use-case docs around the zero-to-hero chat flow, and explicitly note that there are no users yet so breaking changes are acceptable while the interface is still being shaped.
Update package metadata, CLI help, and the docs/help expectation tests to match the new positioning. Validate the reframe with usage: pyro [-h] [--version] COMMAND ...
Validate the host and serve disposable MCP workspaces for chat-based coding agents on supported Linux x86_64 KVM hosts.
positional arguments:
COMMAND
env Inspect and manage curated environments.
mcp Run the MCP server.
run Run one command inside an ephemeral VM.
workspace Manage persistent workspaces.
doctor Inspect runtime and host diagnostics.
demo Run built-in demos.
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--version show program's version number and exit
Suggested zero-to-hero path:
pyro doctor
pyro env list
pyro env pull debian:12
pyro run debian:12 -- git --version
pyro mcp serve
Connect a chat host after that:
claude mcp add pyro -- uvx --from pyro-mcp pyro mcp serve
codex mcp add pyro -- uvx --from pyro-mcp pyro mcp serve
If you want terminal-level visibility into the workspace model:
pyro workspace create debian:12 --seed-path ./repo --id-only
pyro workspace sync push WORKSPACE_ID ./changes
pyro workspace exec WORKSPACE_ID -- cat note.txt
pyro workspace diff WORKSPACE_ID
pyro workspace snapshot create WORKSPACE_ID checkpoint
pyro workspace reset WORKSPACE_ID --snapshot checkpoint
pyro workspace shell open WORKSPACE_ID --id-only
pyro workspace service start WORKSPACE_ID app --ready-file .ready -- sh -lc 'touch .ready && while true; do sleep 60; done'
pyro workspace export WORKSPACE_ID note.txt --output ./note.txt, usage: pyro mcp serve [-h] [--profile {vm-run,workspace-core,workspace-full}]
Expose pyro tools over stdio for an MCP client. Bare `pyro mcp serve` now starts `workspace-core`, the recommended first profile for most chat hosts.
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--profile {vm-run,workspace-core,workspace-full}
Expose only one model-facing tool profile. `workspace-
core` is the default and recommended first profile for
most chat hosts; `workspace-full` is the larger opt-in
profile. (default: workspace-core)
Default and recommended first start:
pyro mcp serve
Profiles:
workspace-core: default for normal persistent chat editing
vm-run: smallest one-shot-only surface
workspace-full: larger opt-in surface for shells, services,
snapshots, secrets, network policy, and disk tools
Use --profile workspace-full only when the host truly needs those
extra workspace capabilities., and uv run ruff check .
All checks passed!

Workspace Use-Case Recipes
These recipes turn the chat-host workspace path into five concrete agent flows. They are the canonical next step after the quickstart in install.md or first-run.md.
Run all real guest-backed scenarios locally with:
make smoke-use-cases
Recipe matrix:
| Use case | Recommended profile | Smoke target | Recipe |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cold-start repo validation | workspace-full |
make smoke-cold-start-validation |
cold-start-repo-validation.md |
| Repro plus fix loop | workspace-core |
make smoke-repro-fix-loop |
repro-fix-loop.md |
| Parallel isolated workspaces | workspace-core |
make smoke-parallel-workspaces |
parallel-workspaces.md |
| Unsafe or untrusted code inspection | workspace-core |
make smoke-untrusted-inspection |
untrusted-inspection.md |
| Review and evaluation workflows | workspace-full |
make smoke-review-eval |
review-eval-workflows.md |
All five recipes use the same real Firecracker-backed smoke runner:
uv run python scripts/workspace_use_case_smoke.py --scenario all --environment debian:12
That runner generates its own host fixtures, creates real guest-backed workspaces,
verifies the intended flow, exports one concrete result when relevant, and cleans
up on both success and failure. Treat make smoke-use-cases as the trustworthy
guest-backed verification path for the advertised workspace workflows.
