Set device-name to agent name + host device in auth flow - #16
Merged
Conversation
Guide agents to pass their own name plus the host device to --device-name (e.g. "Max - Mac Mini") so the Shop Connections entry is self-identifying. Document where the agent name lives per harness: IDENTITY.md (OpenClaw) or ~/.hermes/SOUL.md (Hermes).

What
Guide agents to set
--device-nameto their own name + the host device (e.g.Max - Mac Mini) during sign-in, instead of a static placeholder, so the entry in Shop Connections is self-identifying.Why
The auth flow's
device_nameis what the user sees in Shop Connections. Today the skill docs use a fixed placeholder (Joey McLobsterface) and the direct-API reference just says<short agent name>— neither tells the agent to use its real name or include the device it's running on. A name likeMax - Mac Minimakes connections recognizable and revocable.Where the agent name lives (per harness)
IDENTITY.md(workspace root,Name:field)~/.hermes/SOUL.md(persona = identity)Changes
skill/SKILL.md—### Authexample now uses--device-name "<your name> - <device>"(e.g.Max - Mac Mini) + one line on where to source the name.skill/references/direct-api.md—device_nameexample mirrors the same convention for the manual API path.No code changes — the CLI already accepts
--device-nameand caps it at 40 chars; this is doc/skill guidance only.
