Description
man is not available in just shell today.
Needed
- Provide the
mancommand plus a man-page source/format path (mandoc or groff-rendered pages) as WASM registry software in secure-execregistry/software/. - Add it to the agentos-shell software list (
packages/shell/src/main.ts).
Notes
- Consider shipping pre-rendered (cat) man pages to avoid bundling groff, and wiring
MANPATHto a guest directory. - Lower effort than a full pager/editor; mostly packaging + page content.
Part of making just shell a complete interactive environment.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the existing entries under registry/software/ and the software list in packages/shell/src/main.ts, then run just shell to observe the current environment. Done means the man command and a man-page source or rendered-page path are packaged for secure-exec and available through the shell, with MANPATH wired if needed.
