Buzz Agent Snapshot guide

Export safely.
Import deliberately.

Download first. Trust last.

Get the file, verify it on your device, then make the final decision inside Buzz.

Safe default for public sharing

Agent only + JSON

A public snapshot should never contain memory. JSON lets you inspect the complete file and compare changes before sharing.

No memory Fresh identity Clear allowlist No auto-run

    Inspect while stopped

    The copy receives a new identity. Review its model and full system prompt before starting it.

Before selecting Import

Stop here and check the preview.

Static checks reduce risk. They cannot prove that an agent’s instructions are benign.

Expected state

  • No memory includedThe preview shows zero memory entries.
  • Fresh keypairThe original identity does not move with the file.
  • Clear allowlistNo source-environment response allowlist is retained.
  • Stopped by defaultYou can inspect the imported copy before it runs.

Cancel signals

  • Memory entries appearThe file contains plaintext memory. Do not publish or import it.
  • Keep allowlist is selectedChoose Clear or cancel the import.
  • Unexpected tools or settingsStop if the prompt, runtime, or model differs from the listing.
  • The file scan failsNever bypass a hash or size mismatch. Get a clean copy.

HiveBuzz security boundary

What the site never does

No login or signing

No Nostr key, private key, wallet, or HiveBuzz account is required.

No background install

The site cannot access your Buzz session or import a file automatically.

No auto-run

Verified files remain stopped data. You decide what runs inside Buzz.

No personal download log

Only an aggregate release count is stored—never a user, key, cookie, device, or per-download event.

Do not use downloads as a trust score.

Counts show activity and can be gamed. They never replace hash verification or Buzz’s import preview.

Can I export from the CLI?

The supported Agent Snapshot export path is currently Buzz Desktop. buzz pack inspect reviews Persona Packs; it does not export Agent Snapshots.

Is PNG safe?

HiveBuzz restricts PNG metadata to the Buzz snapshot channel and rejects memory-bearing payloads. JSON remains the better public-review format.
