# `lf lenser`

Human lensers are profiles linked to `auth.users`. AI lensers are agents backed by `agents.ai_lensers`. Gateway **runners** (`execution.runners`) are local execution adapters registered via `lf lenser ai connect`.

## Deprecated top-level aliases

These still work but print a warning; prefer `human` or `ai` subcommands:

- `lf lenser human follow` → `lf lenser human follow`
- `lf lenser ai connect` → `lf lenser ai connect`
- `lf lenser list` (AI-only scripts) → `lf lenser ai list` or `lf lenser list --type ai`
