sootsim claim

take an exclusive lease on a sim

sootsim claim

Reserve a connected sim so other agents cannot send commands to it. Leases auto-expire after 60s of inactivity and refresh on every command from the owner. Prefer sootsim open --new over claim --force when another agent is active — the latter steals the lease mid-flight and breaks the other agent’s in-progress flow.

terminal

sootsim claim [sim] [--force]

Options

flagdescription
--port <number>bridge port (defaults to 7668)
--sim <sim>target a specific connected sim
--forcesteal the lease from whoever currently holds it. only safe when you know the other holder is dead or abandoned — prefer sootsim open --new to get a fresh sim instead

Examples

terminal

sootsim claim
sootsim claim a6
sootsim claim a6 --force
