Phase1 Command Reference
A public command map for the Phase1 operator shell. This page explains the command families, intended workflow, and safety boundaries for the Rust virtual OS console.
operator basics
Start with visibility.
Use these commands to learn the shell, inspect the current environment, and find the next documented workflow. Exact availability can vary by build, so help inside Phase1 remains the source of truth.
Open the in-system documentation hub.
Read command-specific notes when a manual entry exists.
Display version track and release information.
Inspect simulated system profile and kernel state.
Review project roadmap and implementation direction.
files + VFS
Operate inside the virtual filesystem.
The VFS is the main learning workspace. Use it to practice shell movement, create files, inspect generated system paths, and keep host files separated from the Phase1 environment.
Print the current virtual working directory.
List files and folders in the current VFS path.
Move through the virtual filesystem.
Read a file from the VFS.
Print text or create simple shell output.
Create a virtual directory.
Copy virtual files when supported by the current build.
Move or rename virtual files when supported by the current build.
text tools
Inspect output like an operator.
Text tools make the terminal useful for learning and debugging. They are designed to help operators search, count, preview, and filter content inside the virtual environment.
Search text for matching patterns.
Locate virtual files and paths.
Count lines, words, or bytes when available.
Preview the beginning of a file or output.
Preview the end of a file or log output.
Clear or reset terminal display state.
system + safety
Guardrails are part of the interface.
Phase1 should make system state visible. Safety commands explain the current posture, audit behavior, and host-tool boundaries. They are not production security claims.
Show safe-mode posture and security guidance.
Inspect audit records when audit views are available.
Inspect simulated process table state.
Explore generated system views in the VFS.
Review capability metadata when supported.
Understand default guarded behavior before enabling host workflows.
browser + network
Network workflows stay explicit.
The guarded browser is intended for inspectable terminal-first browsing. It should avoid hidden background behavior and keep active content, host trust, and network access easy to reason about.
Open a URL through the guarded terminal browser path.
Inspect stripped or simplified page output when supported.
View HTTP metadata when exposed by the current build.
Review supported schemes and boundary notes.
storage + runtime roadmap
Build workflows belong behind clear controls.
Storage, Git, Rust, and future language runtime workflows are planned around explicit capabilities. When a command crosses into host-backed behavior, it should stay guarded and visible.
Inspect storage status and workspace behavior.
Planned/guarded repository workflows for clone and project setup.
Rust workflow path for build/run support where enabled.
Show the language/runtime support roadmap.
Track planned runtime shells and language integrations.
Planned diagnostics for environment and build readiness.
troubleshooting
Common command issues.
- Command not found: run
helpin the current build and check the wiki hub for the matching command family. - Host tool blocked: confirm safe-mode and trust settings before trying host-backed workflows.
- Browser output looks limited: guarded browsing may strip or simplify active web content by design.
- Runtime command unavailable: check the runtime roadmap; some language commands are planned rather than implemented.
boundary
Command docs are implementation guidance, not production claims.
Phase1 is a Rust virtual OS console and operator-kernel project. This command reference does not claim that Phase1 is a production operating system, daily-driver OS, hardware-validated system, complete security product, or installer-ready distribution.
