Adds `amy logoff [--yes] [--keep-events]`, the CLI counterpart to logging
out: it removes everything an account left on the machine.
- the identity file and any backend-held secret (keychain / ncryptsec /
plaintext), via DataDir.deleteIdentity
- the rest of the per-account directory ~/.amy/<account>/ (run-state
cursors, aliases, cashu counters, all Marmot/MLS state)
- the ~/.amy/current pin, when it points at this account
- the account's events in the SHARED ~/.amy/shared/events-store/
The event store is shared across accounts, so logoff does not wipe it
wholesale — it deletes only the events that involve this account: those it
authored plus those addressed to it via a #p tag (gift wraps, nutzaps,
reactions, mentions). Other accounts' cached events are left untouched.
`--keep-events` skips the shared-cache purge entirely.
The public key is read straight from identity.json (never unlocking the
private key), so logoff needs no passphrase and pops no keychain prompt.
Destructive and irreversible, so it follows the `marmot reset` precedent:
`--yes` is required to execute; without it the command prints a dry run of
what would be deleted and exits 2.
Thin-assembly only — event deletion is quartz's FsEventStore.delete; this
just resolves the account, counts, and wires the filesystem teardown.

Amy Roadmap
The live checklist for growing amy from a Marmot test-bed into a
full command-line mirror of Amethyst.
How to use this file: update it in the same PR that ships a feature. Move rows between tables, adjust ordering, add non-goals. This is the single source of truth for "what's left".
- What amy is + how to use it: README.md
- The public contract + how to extend amy: DEVELOPMENT.md
- Ongoing design plans: plans/
- Shared work consumed here: ../commons/plans/
North-star goal
For every feature of the Amethyst Android app, there is a way to exercise it through
amy, with byte-identical on-relay behaviour.
Why:
- Interop tests against the ~100 other Nostr clients need a reproducible harness that does not require running Android.
- Agents and LLMs can script real Amethyst flows without a GUI.
- Regressions in shared logic (signing, encryption, filter building, event parsing) become shell-scriptable.
- Power users get a command-line Amethyst for free.
Non-goal: Amy is not a second Nostr client implementation. It is
a thin assembly layer over quartz + commons. Protocol and business
logic in cli/ are bugs.

nak parity — army-knife primitives
Tracking fiatjaf/nak's command surface. amy
adapts the verbiage where its own conventions differ (req → one-shot fetch
vs streaming subscribe). Stateless verbs run with no account or network.
| nak command | amy verb | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
decode |
amy decode |
✅ | NIP-19/21 → JSON. Quartz Nip19Parser. |
encode |
amy encode |
✅ | npub/nsec/note/nevent/nprofile/naddr. |
verify / validate |
amy verify |
✅ | id-hash + signature, reported separately. |
key |
amy key generate|public|encrypt|decrypt|validate |
✅ | generate/derive + NIP-49 encrypt/decrypt (bidirectionally nak-verified) + validate (npub/hex parse check). expand/combine(MuSig2)/default still 🆕. |
event |
amy event |
✅ | build/sign an arbitrary event, optional --publish/--relay. |
publish |
amy publish |
✅ | broadcast a pre-made event JSON (verified first). |
req (one-shot) |
amy fetch |
✅ | filter → collect-until-EOSE, dedupe, sort, cap. Also accepts a nip19/nip05 code and resolves relays via the outbox model (code hints + author's NIP-65 write relays), like nak's fetch. |
req (stream) |
amy subscribe |
✅ | filter → live NDJSON stream to stdout. |
count |
amy count |
✅ | NIP-45, per-relay counts. |
encrypt / decrypt |
amy encrypt|decrypt |
✅ | raw NIP-44 (default) / NIP-04. |
gift |
amy gift wrap|unwrap |
✅ | NIP-59 seal+wrap / unwrap+unseal. |
relay (NIP-11) |
amy relay info |
✅ | stateless NIP-11 doc fetch. |
outbox |
amy outbox |
✅ | NIP-65 read/write relays, cache-first. |
filter |
amy filter |
✅ | stateless — assemble + print a filter JSON. |
blossom |
amy blossom |
✅ | upload/download/list/delete/check/mirror (reuses commons BlossomClient). |
nip |
amy nip |
✅ | repo-first lookup + Nostr fallback (NipText kind:30817, wiki:30818, long-form:30023); nip list. |
kind |
amy kind |
✅ | quartz KindNames registry (kind → English label + NIP) covering every event kind quartz defines (280 entries); number lookup + name search. |
sync |
amy sync |
✅ | NIP-77 Negentropy reconcile with the local store (down/up/both). |
git |
amy git |
✅ in part | NIP-34 repo announce/list/show/issue. clone/push (packfile transport) out of scope. |
podcast |
amy podcast |
✅ | NIP-F4 show metadata (10154) + episode publish (54) + list. |
bunker |
amy bunker[ connect] + amy login bunker:///--nostrconnect |
✅ | NIP-46 remote signer + login, both the bunker:// and nostrconnect:// flows, each direction, plus auth_url challenge handling (client surfaces the URL + keeps waiting). Interop-verified vs real nak. |
admin |
amy admin RELAY METHOD |
✅ | NIP-86 Relay Management over NIP-98 HTTP auth — full method set (ban/allow pubkey + event, kinds, IP block, change name/desc/icon, list-*). Reuses quartz Nip86Client + shared commons Nip86Retriever. Interop-verified against amy serve. |
serve |
amy serve |
✅ | Embeds geode (the standalone Ktor relay on quartz's relay-server code) — in-memory by default, --db FILE for SQLite, account is admin so amy admin works against it. NIP-86 + NIP-77 included. |
wallet (NIP-60 Cashu) |
amy cashu |
✅ | See the Cashu row above — full NIP-60/61 wallet + nutzaps. |
mcp / fs / spell |
— | 🆕 (niche) | MCP server, FUSE mount, MuSig2/FROST; some pull new deps. |
Full nak comparison (introspected both binaries)
nak has 34 functional commands (introspected from nak --help). Coverage:
- Full / equivalent (24):
event,req(→fetch+subscribe),fetch(nip19/nip05-hint resolution),filter,count,decode,encode,verify,relay,bunker(+nostrconnect+auth_url),encrypt,decrypt,gift,publish,sync,profile,podcast,nip,kind,blossom,nsite(NIP-5A),admin(NIP-86),serve(geode),wallet(NIP-60/61 Cashu). Protocol-sensitive ones (bunker,sync,keyNIP-49,encode/decode,admin) are interop-verified against the realnakbinary oramy serve. - Partial / adapted (3):
key(noexpand/combine(MuSig2)/default),git(NIP-34 events only — no packfile transport),outbox(NIP-65 model vs nak's local hints DB). - Missing (7):
dekey(NIP-4E),mcp,curl(NIP-98),fs(FUSE),spell(MuSig2/FROST),validate(event-schema validation), andgroup/nip29(NIP-29 — amy ships MLS/Marmot instead, an intentional divergence rather than a gap).
Design differences (not gaps): amy is a stateful client (accounts,
~/.amy/, shared event store) with a stable JSON contract; nak is a stateless
per-invocation tool that prints bare values for shell substitution. amy also has
a large surface nak lacks: Marmot/MLS, NIP-17 DMs, zaps, CLINK offer/debit,
NIP-02 follow, NIP-50 search, napplets, profile edit, store management, account
management.
Cheap remaining wins: the key expand (hex left-pad) and default
(print the active account's key) sub-verbs. key combine needs MuSig2.
Order of operations
Proposed sequencing. Each step is one PR. Each step should extract
at least one file from amethyst/ into commons/; if it doesn't
move anything, re-audit — you're probably duplicating logic.

Non-goals
- Interactive TUI or REPL.
- Native image (GraalVM) until Quartz has a pure-Kotlin signer
fallback —
secp256k1-kmp-jni-*needs JNI today. - A Gradle dependency on
:amethystor:desktopApp. Ever. - Re-implementing any Nostr protocol piece that's already in
quartz/or in another client's library.
