Local command — CyberCLI notification channel

Run a script with the payload on stdin. Maximum sovereignty — never leaves the box.

Where to get it

A script on the CyberCLI host — bash, python, anything executable.

Install / what you need

No install. Point CyberCLI at an executable on the box.

How to connect

1 Write a script that reads the JSON payload from stdin.
2 Open the dashboard's Notifications panel → Add destination → choose command, fill in the path (+ timeout, env).
3 Hit Send test on the destination card and check exit-code handling.

When you'd use it

Air-gapped sites with no outbound at all.

Drive a local siren, light, or printer.

Custom logic before any other channel fires.

What Herald sends through this channel

3 setup fields

Herald hands every alert to the LocalCommandAdapter as a DispatchPlan. The fields below are what the dashboard form asks for; the sample is the plan the adapter receives. The adapter renders it into the channel-native shape (Discord embeds, Teams MessageCards, PagerDuty Events-API payloads, TwiML, JSON POST bodies) on the way out — that wire transcript varies per channel.

Setup form fields

field	type	required	description / default
command_path	string	required	Absolute path to executable; PATH lookup disabled for safety
args	array	optional	Args passed after command_path; payload JSON arrives via stdin
timeout_seconds	number	optional	no description · default: 10

Sovereignty: local · Min tier (BYO): free · Max-sovereignty script hook; payload never leaves the box.

Sovereignty

The payload is piped to a local process. Nothing crosses the network — the most sovereign channel there is.

Who notifies through it

Herald — the Guild's voice role — routes alerts, daily digests, and AI verdicts here, on a per-CYCON-state matrix you control. CYCON 1/2 alerts repeat until an operator acks.
