Alien Shard is a lightweight Go server for mixed human and machine Markdown workflows.

  • Humans using Chrome or Firefox get rendered HTML for .md files.
  • Machines, agents, curl, and scripts get raw Markdown for .md files.
  • One process serves raw source files and writable wiki layers across namespaces.

Documentation

  • HTTP API: routes, methods, content negotiation, status codes, and path validation.
  • Configuration: flags, environment variables, Docker defaults, and image tags.
  • Wiki: wiki storage, mutations, autoindex, and manual index behavior.
  • Development: build, test, smoke, release, and documentation workflow.
  • LLM Wiki: product concept and LLM-maintained wiki pattern.
  • Search: search design, implementation notes, and future roadmap.
