# Docsloth for developers

> docsloth.dev is the technical documentation surface: getting started, the core API, SDKs and packages, the component catalogue, registry publishing, and the MCP and agent guides. The engine itself is self-hosted; no account is required to read or run it.

## Guides and reference
- [Quickstart](https://docsloth.dev/quickstart): five local commands from checkout to a private preview; no account, no provider spend, no telemetry by default.
- [Developer documentation](https://docsloth.dev/docs): the task-ordered hub for guides, references and tools, including CLI and BYOK entry points.
- [API reference](https://docsloth.dev/api): the core operation list generated from the published contract, with the envelope and idempotency conventions.
- [Schemas](https://docsloth.dev/schemas): the shared model definitions every client, server and SDK validates against.
- [SDKs and packages](https://docsloth.dev/sdk): contracts, renderer, component SDK, registry client, test kit and the AGPL CLI.
- [Component catalogue](https://docsloth.dev/components): the first-party components with trust classes, agent tools and capability gates.
- [Publish components](https://docsloth.dev/publish): the forge-to-signed-package path for the open, federated registry.
- [MCP](https://docsloth.dev/mcp): read-only Model Context Protocol tools with honest error surfaces.
- [Agent integration](https://docsloth.dev/agents): AGENTS.md/SKILL.md generation with consent and no prompt injection.
- [Examples](https://docsloth.dev/examples): runnable request sequences with the version and environment that were tested.
- [Playground](https://docsloth.dev/playground): the published renderer on synthetic DocBlocks in an isolated iframe.
- [Benchmarks](https://docsloth.dev/benchmarks): the evaluation method and the downloadable task definitions.

## Deployment and credentials
- [Self-host on docsloth.org](https://docsloth.org/self-host): compose profile or CLI mode, no account and no mandatory telemetry.
- [BYOK model credentials](https://github.com/rextail-ai/docsloth/blob/master/docs/BYOK.md): deployment BYOK and hosted per-tenant credentials with the exact API paths.

- [Component trust classes](https://github.com/rextail-ai/docsloth/blob/master/docs/COMPONENT_TRUST.md): What pure, interactive and connected components may do.
- [Component package format](https://github.com/rextail-ai/docsloth-registry/blob/master/docs/COMPONENT_PACKAGES.md): The X1 manifest, digest and capability contract.
- [Market flow](https://github.com/rextail-ai/docsloth-registry/blob/master/docs/MARKET_FLOW.md): Publish, discover, verify, install and render, with the evidence commands.
- [Self-hostable registry build](https://github.com/rextail-ai/docsloth/blob/master/packages/registry/README.md): Building the static registry tree (index.json, llms.txt, sitemap).

## Catalogue size
- 48 first-party component names with generated detail pages under https://docsloth.dev/components/docsloth/<name>.

## Notes
- This index covers docsloth.dev only. docsloth.com and docsloth.org publish their own llms.txt from their own hosts.
- Repository visibility is controlled by the project owner; where a repository is not public yet, the licence and contribution pages on docsloth.org remain the reference.
- Inclusion here is not a ranking guarantee and does not grant access to protected material.
