mcp

The MCP server and its platform installers.

tiny-brain mcp uninstall [platform]

hooks

The TDD git hooks (commit-msg, post-commit) — installed by init, managed directly when needed: 
tiny-brain hooks status
tiny-brain hooks install            # --force to overwrite custom hooks
tiny-brain hooks uninstall
These hooks are the enforcement layer of the loop: header validation, phase advancement, and review kickoff all live here.

as

Prints a persona’s formatted context to stdout — the same content the session-start hook injects. Useful for inspecting what the agent is being told.
