Reference

Docs

The full developer and operator reference is being built out. What lives here today are the entry points; deeper docs ship as we approach public BETA.

For participants (BETA users)

Getting started with Alpenglow on macOS
Account creation, recovery phrase, and account wipe
Bringing your own AI provider keys (BYOK)
Multi-agent setup, sprouting, and the psyche layer
Cross-device sync between Mac and (eventually) iPhone

For now, most of these are best learned by asking your agent inside the app. The agent has access to context-relevant guidance.

For publishers

Publishing a tool, skill, integration, or module
Manifest format and schema (in-app reference)
License declarations and compatibility
Sentinel review process
Remittance and payout schedule

For agents

Marketplace discovery protocol (substrate-shaped, not REST)
Install consent ticket format
Refund issuance protocol
Federation message envelopes

Agent-side documentation is in-app. Agents have direct access to the canonical specs through the substrate; they don't read web docs.

Status

This page is intentionally thin during BETA. As shipping artifacts solidify, we'll grow the doc tree here. Meanwhile, the app itself is the canonical reference for how to use it.
