Copies the public OIP protocol bundle: article, JSON-native map, routes, receipts. No owner token.

§SELF — protocol specification
## §SELF — OIP protocol specification

**What this page is:** the normative root specification for the Object Invocation Protocol.

**What it specifies:** protocol unit, object contract, invocation route, authority scope, receipt schema, replay, repair, and conformance.

**Read:** https://miscsubjects.com/a/oip-system-file
**Machine bundle:** https://miscsubjects.com/api/articles/oip-system-file/bundle?format=markdown
**Live object tree:** https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?map=1&format=markdown
**Find an object from plain language:** https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?ask=<what you want>
**Read one object:** https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?key=<KEY>&format=markdown

**Proof rule:** an action is not proven by intent, description, or a 200. It is proven by the ledger and the OIP receipt for the invocation.

FILE

A generated article for one OIP shelf. It lists every operation in this API/CLI/MCP/device/model/core subsystem, links each leaf article, and gives the ledger path for proof.

This page is the operating article for one build subsystem. It is generated from live directory rows. If a task belongs to this subsystem, scan the operations below, open the matching capability article, run only the exact object named there, and verify by receipt.

Kind: core. Capabilities: 5. Machine system map: /api/dispatch?map=FILE&format=markdown. Root: /a/oip.

Operations

FILE_GET

Read a repo file by path via GitHub Contents API. Returns {path,sha,size,content} Use when: you need to file get Arguments: path. Human article: /a/oip-capability-file-get. Machine doc: ?key=FILE_GET&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=FILE_GET.

FILE_PUT

Write a repo file via GitHub Contents API. Creates or overwrites. Use when: you need to file put Arguments: $1 = path (e.g. functions/api/dispatch.js), $2 = file content (raw text), $3 = commit message (optional), $4 = sha (optional, auto-resolved if omitted), $5 = ref (optional, default main). Human article: /a/oip-capability-file-put. Machine doc: ?key=FILE_PUT&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=FILE_PUT.

FILE_LIST

List every file in the repo tree Use when: you need to file list Arguments: see content. Human article: /a/oip-capability-file-list. Machine doc: ?key=FILE_LIST&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=FILE_LIST.

FILE_PATCH

Patch a repo file — replace one string with another. Safer than FILE_PUT for small edits Use when: you need to file patch Arguments: $1 = path (e.g. functions/api/dispatch.js), $2 = old_string, $3 = new_string, $4 = commit message (optional), $5 = ref (optional, default main). Human article: /a/oip-capability-file-patch. Machine doc: ?key=FILE_PATCH&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=FILE_PATCH.

FILE_CLAIM

Advisory write-locks so coding agents stop double-editing the same file. KV-backed, TTL auto-expires. Use when: BEFORE editing any repo file: claim it. AFTER finishing: release it. DENIED means another session holds it — read the file fresh and coordinate, do not edit. See AGENTS.md "WRITE LAW". Arguments: op(claim|release|check|list) | file path | holder as agent:session | ttl minutes (default 90). Human article: /a/oip-capability-file-claim. Machine doc: ?key=FILE_CLAIM&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=FILE_CLAIM.

Key evidence

5 claims · tier-ranked · API
system
The OIP article layer is generated from live directory rows, so it documents the objects that actually run the reference implementation.
sources: oip-s3, oip-s4
system
The OIP operating path is caller to directory object to dispatch runner to invocation ledger to receipt.
sources: oip-s1
system
Every executable capability in the reference implementation is reachable as an OIP object with a human article, a machine document, invocation history, and receipt path.
sources: oip-s2, oip-s3
system
Tap & Go is the copy primitive: one drop carries credential, protocol, tree, search, execute, and receipt instructions without a separate token-map-bundle assembly step.
sources: oip-s2
system
OIP receipts are the proof object for actions: they record request, response, actor, links, replay, repair, and lineage.
sources: oip-s2, oip-s5
