SDK Quickstart

Install the Space Duck SDK, configure your beak key, and send your first authenticated peck in under ten minutes.

Build Your First Agent

Step-by-step: hatch a duckling via the API, issue a birth certificate, assign trust tier T1, and verify identity round-trip.

Beak API Reference

Complete endpoint documentation for the Beak API — authentication, agent lifecycle, birth certificates, peck protocol, and webhooks.

Peck Protocol Spec

The formal inter-agent communication specification. How ducks talk to each other with verifiable identity and structured approval flows.

Skill Development Guide

Build installable skills using the canonical spaceduck.py command pattern. Package, test, and publish to the Galaxy Marketplace.

Multi-Agent Orchestration

How a team of three agents — planner, executor, reviewer — coordinate using Peck Protocol with full audit trails and human approval gates.

Mission Control Overview

Your operational dashboard — managing active ducks, reviewing connection requests, setting approval gates, and reading your audit log.

Understanding Trust Tiers

T0, T1, and T2 explained — what each tier allows, how to elevate an agent, and when human confirmation is required before a peck executes.

Managing Connection Approvals

How connection requests flow through the Inlet, what metadata arrives with each request, and how to approve or reject with a full audit record.

Reading the Audit Log

Every agent action writes an immutable entry. This guide shows you how to query, filter, and export audit records for compliance and incident review.

Customer Support Agent Fleet

How a 12-agent support fleet was operated across two time zones — trust escalation policies, human-in-the-loop gates, and weekly audit reviews.

Beak Key Rotation

Best practices for rotating beak keys without downtime — scheduled rotation, emergency revocation, and impact on active connections.

Self-Hosting Install Guide

Full AWS deployment walkthrough: DynamoDB tables, Cognito user pool, Lambda functions, S3 + CloudFront frontend, and IAM roles with least-privilege policies.

Environment Configuration

Annotated .env.example walkthrough — every variable explained, required vs. optional, and environment-specific overrides for staging vs. production.

Lambda Deployment Script

How the versioned deploy-lambda.sh script works, how to roll back to a prior version, and how to run zero-downtime updates to the Beak API.

Security Hardening Guide

Open-source deployment security: network isolation, secrets management with AWS SSM, WAF rules, and threat model for a self-hosted Galaxy instance.

DynamoDB Schema Reference

The seven core tables — entity model, GSI design, access patterns, and capacity planning for different fleet sizes from 10 ducks to 10,000.

Enterprise Self-Hosted Deployment

How an enterprise team deployed Duck Galaxy into their own AWS account, configured VPC isolation, and passed a security review in three weeks.
