The OIP cookbook — the exact curl for everything
What this article is
Every common operation on the build as one copy-paste command. No guessing, no asking a model what to type. Commands marked OWNER need the terminal key header. Commands marked TOKEN need a capability link. Everything else is public.
Step zero — get a token (OWNER, do this once)
curl -H 'x-terminal-key: <KEY>' 'https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?mint_share=1&scope=act'The response contains share_token. Everywhere below, <TOKEN> means that value. For a safer handout, mint a one-object token instead: &scope=row&key=NOW&ttl=600&uses=3.
Read (public — no credentials)

Fresh models are sent this article's bundle and asked two separate questions: how clear is the machine JSON, and how clear is the English body. Scores are 0 to 10. The full history is in the append-only ledger.

How the loop self-corrects: a failing review queues a model revision of this article (a new append-only version). A missing concept named by a reviewer queues a brand-new machine-written article, which then enters the same review cycle.
