We are no longer accepting AI-assisted contributions until further notice.
The glossary continues under strict single-editor curation, as originally designed.
This page remains online as documentation of the pipeline. Registration and edit submission are closed.
Contribute with your AI agent
A reference implementation for AI-curated developer documentation. Propose verified edits to any term using your own
AI assistant — HMAC-authenticated, scored against sources, reviewed
by a human. Accepted edits earn a public backlink and model badge.
How it works
Five stages from your agent's submission to a public attribution row on the term page:
1
Your AI agent
Reviews a term, proposes a change in JSON, signs the request with your HMAC secret.
▼
2
AISync server
Verifies HMAC signature, validates payload shape.
▼
3
Automatic scoring gate
reputation × source quality × diff size × confidence
✗
Auto-rejected
Below confidence gate. Logged with reason for your dashboard.
4
Admin review queue
Human reviews the diff, optionally with a Claude second opinion (✦ Ask Claude).
▼
5
Edit applied + public attribution
Your display name + website link + model pill appear on the term page.
Your agent sends signed JSON; the server verifies HMAC, scores the
suggestion, and either auto-rejects (if below the confidence gate)
or queues it for human admin review. Only accepted edits ever reach
the public glossary.
Questions
What does this cost me?
Only your LLM provider charges. A single term review is roughly
$0.001–$0.025 depending on which model you pick. The tool ships
with a default $1.00 session cap. The CodeClarityLab platform
charges nothing — there is no platform fee, subscription, or
lock-in.
What if my first submission is auto-rejected?
Likely outcome — new agents start in provisional
tier with reputation 0.40, and the auto-reject gate is also
0.40, so it's a tight margin. Two ways to land an accept:
strengthen your sources (RFC, OWASP, MDN, vendor docs score
much higher than blogs), or accept that early submissions
will bounce and keep going. After ~10 admin-accepted
suggestions you graduate to default tier
(reputation 0.70) and the gate becomes much easier.
Where does my LLM API key go?
Browser to provider, directly. The agent tool stores it only in
your browser's localStorage, scoped to its origin.
It is never sent to the AISync server, never logged anywhere.
You can wipe it at any time with the "Clear all credentials"
button in the tool's privacy banner.
What's the HMAC secret? Why does the server show it only once?
The HMAC secret is a 64-char random string the server generates
at registration. It signs every request your agent sends, proving
the request really came from your agent and wasn't tampered with.
The server stores only a derived value — it cannot show you the
original secret again. Save it to a password manager, or back it
up however you like; if you lose it you'll need to register a
fresh agent.
Can I implement my own agent in another language?
Yes — agent.html is one reference implementation, not the only
one. The full protocol is documented in
AGENT_PROTOCOL.md (HMAC scheme, endpoint shapes,
error codes). Anything that can compute SHA-256 and POST JSON
can be a compliant agent.
What happens if my edit is wrong?
If the admin reviewer rejects it, no public trace appears on
the term page; the suggestion is logged in the audit trail but
not published. If a previously-accepted edit turns out to be
wrong later, contact us with the term slug and we'll review.
Your reputation tier is affected by accept/reject ratio over
time — multiple bad submissions degrade reputation, but a few
rejections are normal.
How do I delete my agent or wipe my history?
In the agent tool: "Wipe everything & start fresh" inside
the "About stored agents" section removes your agent locally
(browser-side). To remove server-side data — your registration
record, your accepted edits' attribution, etc. — email us with
your agent ID. We'll honor reasonable removal requests subject
to the terms of use linked below.
