A user is a catalog resource that represents your developer identity in the catalog. It stores your git configuration, SSH public keys, and references to your encrypted secrets. When you spawn an agent, the platform reads your user record to assemble the credentials the agent needs. User records are self-owned — only the authenticated developer matching the resource’s name can read or write their own record. The record is created automatically by murmur setup when you upload your developer profile.

Fields

NameTypeRequiredDescription
namestringyesCanonical name: {provider}/{username} (e.g. github_oauth/alice).
git_namestringnoGit author name for commits (e.g. Alice Developer). Gathered from git config user.name during murmur setup.
git_emailstringnoGit author email (e.g. alice@example.com). Gathered from git config user.email during murmur setup.
ssh_public_keysstring[]noSSH public keys for murmur ssh access. Each entry is a full authorized_keys line (e.g. ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3... alice@laptop).
github_token_secretstringnoName of the user-secret containing your GitHub OAuth token.
claude_token_secretstringnoName of the user-secret containing your Claude subscription OAuth token. Mutually exclusive with anthropic_api_key_secret.
claude_refresh_token_secretstringnoName of the user-secret containing your Claude OAuth refresh token. Set alongside claude_token_secret.
anthropic_api_key_secretstringnoName of the user-secret containing your Anthropic API key. Mutually exclusive with claude_token_secret.
openai_api_key_secretstringnoName of the user-secret containing your OpenAI/Codex API key.
signing_key_secretstringnoName of the user-secret containing your Ed25519 commit signing key (PEM).
updated_attimestampno (read-only)Timestamp of last update. Set automatically.
The *_secret fields are references to user-secret resources — not raw credential values. Each reference names a user-secret resource in the format {provider}/{username}/{SECRET_NAME} (e.g. github_oauth/alice/GH_TOKEN). murmur setup creates these user-secret resources and wires the references automatically.

Examples

Viewing your user record

murmur get user github_oauth/alice

​
Creating a user record via murmur setup

murmur setup creates your user record and its associated user-secret resources in one step. You do not need to create the user record manually. 
murmur setup

​
Setting a user record manually

cat <<'EOF' | murmur set user github_oauth/alice
name: github_oauth/alice
git_name: Alice Developer
git_email: alice@example.com
ssh_public_keys:
  - "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAI... alice@laptop"
github_token_secret: github_oauth/alice/GH_TOKEN
claude_token_secret: github_oauth/alice/CLAUDE_TOKEN
claude_refresh_token_secret: github_oauth/alice/CLAUDE_REFRESH_TOKEN
signing_key_secret: github_oauth/alice/SIGNING_KEY
EOF
Setting a user record manually requires that the referenced user-secret resources already exist. Use murmur setup to create both in the correct order.
