Developer Quickstart

Start small. The goal is to publish a Mirror interface that an automated system can discover and interpret.

Step 1: Create the well-known directory

Create the following path on your server or static host: /.well-known/aiep/

Step 2: Publish the two core files

Publish:

• index.json — lists your artefacts and schemas
• metadata.json — describes your publisher identity and protocol version

You can copy the structure of this Hub and edit the publisher fields.

Step 3: Publish your first artefact

Publish one artefact that links an instruction or claim to its source evidence — with a hash, an issuer, and a schema reference. The shape is defined in the canonical schema. The goal is to establish the pattern; nothing else needs to exist yet.

Step 4: Add a schema (optional but recommended)

If you want deterministic validation, publish a JSON schema and reference it from your indexes.

Step 5: Share your endpoint

The ecosystem grows through dissemination. Share your /.well-known/aiep/ URL so others can retrieve from it.

AIEP is open. Open use is always permitted.
