Show HN: AI Domain Data Standard – Self-Hosted, DNS-Based Identity for AI

1 hour ago 1

This repository houses the v0.1 standard, reference tooling, and outreach material for the AI Domain Data initiative — the open, vendor-neutral format for authoritative domain data consumed by AI systems, search, and other automated agents. Publishers self-host their JSON record at https://<domain>/.well-known/domain-profile.json and optionally mirror it via _ai.<domain> TXT (ai-json=<base64(JSON)>).

  • spec/spec/spec-v0.1.md – Normative spec text for the v0.1 release.
  • spec/spec/schema-v0.1.json – Canonical JSON schema (with optional entity_type).
  • spec/docs/introduction.md – Plain-language overview of why the standard exists.
  • spec/docs/technical-guide-v0.1.md – Implementation details for publishers and integrators.
  • spec/docs/adoption-guide.md – Rollout and governance checklist for domain owners.
  • spec/docs/implementation-overview.md – Summary of the included tooling.

This working repo covers everything required for Phases 1–3:

  1. Brand + Spec + Proof – Docs, schema, generator, checker.
  2. Distribution + Influencers – Clarity and outreach resources for getting the spec adopted.
  3. Minimal Implementation – CLI and resolver packages for self-hosted workflows.

Future integrations (e.g., WordPress plugin, GitHub Action, Cloudflare Worker) will also land here once they are ready for public testing.
