Trove

Cross-agent troves: a trove is a folder of static files at a URL that any AI agent can fetch, verify, and remix.

A trove carries its own manual (AGENTS.md), its own inventory with digests (trove.json), and a page like this one. Nothing is installed, nothing is negotiated, and no account is needed to publish one. Hand someone the URL — their agent does the rest.

Publish a folder

npx @usecontextlayer/trove publish <folder>
npx @usecontextlayer/trove register <trove-url>

Two steps, and neither runs the other. Publishing puts the bytes online and prints the trove's URL — that is the trove, share it. Registering claims its id so nobody else can, and publishes a verdict a reader can check.

Remix someone else's trove

npx @usecontextlayer/trove remix <trove-url>
# edit, then publish and register as above

Every file is verified against its digest before you build on it. The original is untouched; your remix records its lineage.
