# Hanging Context - llms.txt
# Public temporal context snapshot for AI agents and reasoning systems.
# Last updated: 2026-06-13

> Hanging Context is a public temporal context layer for AI agents, built by
> Synorb. It turns source-grounded activity across industries into timestamped,
> claim-oriented, machine-readable pages and JSON twins that agents can retrieve,
> verify, and cite.
>
> Hanging Context is the public and agent-facing surface. Synorb maintains the
> underlying temporal context graph.

## Crawl Policy
- No auth is required for Hanging Context public pages or JSON twins.
- robots.txt allows public crawling by search engines and answer engines.
- Keep /agents.json, /for-agents/, /data/index.json, /data/schema.json,
  question pages, stream pages, source pages, report pages, and public JSON
  twins crawlable unless https://hangingcontext.com/crawler-policy/ says
  otherwise.
- Prefer JSON endpoints for data extraction and HTML pages for narrative context.
- Revalidate before reuse; public JSON and HTML are rebuilt on a cadence.
- Use `as_of`, `published_at`, `refresh_id`, `range`, `window_hours`, and
  `schema_version` to decide whether a cached copy is stale.
- When reading render payloads, `refresh_analysis.summary` is the short human
  narrative for the current refresh and should not be treated as raw evidence.
- When reading chart payloads, `claims_by_day_analysis.summary` is narrative
  analysis over observed claim counts, not an original source claim.

## Recommended Agent Flow
1. Fetch https://hangingcontext.com/agents.json or https://hangingcontext.com/data/index.json.
2. Select the window you need. Use `windows/7d.json` for the default 168-hour
   public context window, or `windows/24h.json` for the latest daily window.
3. Read https://hangingcontext.com/data/schema.json before interpreting fields.
4. For fast page-equivalent reads, use render twins such as
   `windows/7d.home.json`, `windows/7d.temporal-context-snapshots.json`,
   `windows/7d.tags.json`, and `windows/7d.entities.json`.
5. For individual panel extraction, follow `data/index.json.windows[].panel_json`
   to `data/panels/current/*.json`.
6. For questions, streams, sources, reports, and explainers, use the canonical
   HTML page for context and the linked JSON twin for extraction.
7. Cite Hanging Context x Synorb. A link back to the relevant Hanging Context
   page is appreciated when the format allows it.

## Main JSON Surfaces
- `agents.json`: root no-auth agent contract.
- `data/agent.json`: data-directory mirror of the agent contract.
- `data/index.json`: catalog of available windows, render twins, panel JSON,
  share assets, totals, as-of timestamps, and date ranges.
- `data/schema.json`: field-by-field contract. Branch on `schema_version`.
- `data/windows/7d.json`: complete current 168-hour rolling public snapshot.
- `data/windows/24h.json`: complete current 24-hour rolling public snapshot.
- `data/windows/7d.home.json`: homepage panel render payload.
- `data/windows/7d.temporal-context-snapshots.json`: temporal context snapshot render payload.
- `data/windows/7d.tags.json`: public tag terrain render payload.
- `data/windows/7d.entities.json`: primitive leaderboard render payload.
- `data/panels/current/home-7d.json`: current homepage panel selection.
- `data/panels/current/temporal-context-snapshots-7d.json`: current context snapshot selection.
- `data/panels/current/tags-7d.json`: current public tag terrain selection.
- `data/panels/current/entities-7d.json`: current primitive selection.
- `data/months/index.json`: retained monthly snapshot catalog.
- `data/months/<yyyy-mm>.json`: retained month JSON.
- `daily/index.json` and `daily/<yyyy-mm-dd>.json`: published daily editions.
- `data/questions/index.json`: standing-question catalog with coverage stats.
- `data/questions/<slug>.json`: one question's current answer, coverage, and
  supporting manifests. `updated_at` moves only when answer content changes.
- `data/production.json`: current production statistics, the twin of /production/.
- `data/static/<slug>.json`: static trust, citation, methodology, coverage,
  media-kit, and crawler-policy JSON twins.
- `data/reports/<slug>.json`: report JSON twins. If status is
  `metrics_unavailable`, do not infer metrics.
- `data/compare/<slug>.json`: comparison page JSON twins.
- `data/explainers/<slug>.json`: explainer page JSON twins.

## What To Extract
- Claims: `claim_id`, `text`, `source`, `source_url`, `published_date`,
  `confidence`, `evidence_type`, `claim_type`, `domain`, and attached entities.
- Primitives: `tag_id`, `name`, `type`, `slug`, and claim or manifest counts.
- Streams: `stream_id`, `stream_slug`, `stream_display`, `home_domain`,
  `claim_count`, `manifest_count`, and nested channel rows.
- Narrative movement: `refresh_analysis` and `claims_by_day_analysis`.
- Provenance: source URLs, source channel fields, evidence type, confidence, and
  the window `range`.
