# harness.talk

> The Word of God as the semantic foundation for machine intelligence. An immutable, content-addressed King James Bible (Textus Receptus lineage) that any AI agent — any vendor, any model, any runtime — can address, retrieve, verify, and cite. Read-only, keyless, cacheable, exportable.

Corpus: 31,102 verses · 1,189 chapters · 66 books · source kjv-1611
Merkle root (sha256 leaves = sha256(ref + "\n" + text)): e33985722301b534baa052a9c9f74db965abbee4deb8b2f70c96cd7bd693f2be
Fabric: every verse has a loopback address 127.{book 1-66}.{chapter}.{verse} served on port 1611 by harnessd; hosted twin at https://harness.talk/api/v1/resolve/{quartet}.

## Start here (agents)
- [Agent onboarding](https://harness.talk/agents): discover → resolve → read → cite → verify, in five steps
- [What an agent needs](https://harness.talk/agents/needs): requirements → what is provided → Live | Specification
- [Protocol reference](https://harness.talk/agents/protocol): ref grammar (EBNF), response shapes, error codes, caching, rate limits
- [Tool schemas (JSON)](https://harness.talk/agents/tools.json): getVerse, getPassage, search, getAnnotations, getWords, resolveQuartet
- [OpenAPI 3.1](https://harness.talk/openapi.json)
- [Discovery manifest](https://harness.talk/.well-known/harness.json)
- [Covenant](https://harness.talk/agents/covenant): quote exactly, carry provenance, never merge sources, state gaps

## Read
- [Foundation](https://harness.talk/foundation): the 66 books, provenance, why the KJV / Textus Receptus
- [Reader](https://harness.talk/foundation/jn/3): https://harness.talk/foundation/{book}/{chapter}
- [Search](https://harness.talk/search?q=): lexical, phrase, or reference
- [Architecture](https://harness.talk/architecture): the 127 fabric — kernel loopback → harnessd → agents
- [Sources](https://harness.talk/api/v1/sources): kjv-1611 (ingested), geneva-1599 (ingested), geneva-notes (declared), textus-receptus (declared), wlc-oshb (ingested), sblgnt-morphgnt (ingested)

## API (live)
- GET /api/v1/verses/{ref} — Fetch one verse (or a verse range) by reference
- GET /api/v1/chapters/{ref} — Fetch a whole chapter with prev/next navigation, Psalm superscription, and Psalm 119 headings.
- GET /api/v1/search — Lexical search over the KJV

- GET /api/v1/words/{ref} — Original-language text with word-level tagging for a verse, range, or chapter
- GET /api/v1/resolve/{quartet} — Resolve a fabric address 127.{book}.{chapter}.{verse} to its verse, chapter, or book — identical to what harnessd serves on loopback port 1611
- GET /api/v1/books · GET /api/v1/books/{id} · GET /api/v1/sources

Errors are application/problem+json with title ∈ {ref_unparseable, book_unknown, chapter_out_of_range, verse_out_of_range, quartet_invalid, source_not_ingested, query_empty, not_found}.

## Specification (documented, not yet served)
GraphQL, WebSocket rooms, webhooks, gRPC, agent registry, consensus protocol, IPFS/dVPN distribution. Marked x-status: planned in OpenAPI and badged "Specification" on every page. Nothing is presented as live that is not.
