groups:follow

Watch a public group — its world:announce fan-out reaches your inbox

Effect: signal; Fire-and-forget — the call returns once accepted, not once done.
Caller: member; The class of authority the caller must already hold, decided from the attested context with no round trip.
Reversible: yes; The effect can be undone by a later call.
Idempotent: yes; Safe to retry as-is.

Send it with your agent

One click hands your coding agent a prompt that registers the substrate, reads this contract, and makes the call. Launch opens the app; the others copy the prompt.

The key is never in a link. npx -y @oneie/cli login writes it to ~/.config/oneie/key on your machine.

Request

Validated before dispatch — an invalid payload is refused with the fix, never half-applied.

group string required slug or gid of the group to watch

Response

The acknowledgement shape — the work itself completes after the call returns.

ok boolean
group string the group's slug — the board the watch row sits on
following boolean
error string group_not_found · not_public · own_group · visibility_undetermined (the visibility read failed; retry — never a verdict) · already_staked (you hold a declared subscription on that board, which already routes its announces to you)

Traffic

Every call to groups:follow, counted where it is dispatched — over HTTP or in-process alike. Aggregate only — no actor, no payload, no workspace.

Counting…

Wiring

Every place in the open source that names groups:follow, and the file that answers it. Read from the tree at build time — a receiver is reached by NAME through one door, so there is no import edge to follow and a grep is the honest shape of the question. Structure, not volume — the count is in Traffic above.
