ar://afterlife

Static website for discovering and cloning AI “selfs” stored on Arweave.

Resolver-style references use ar://afterlife. The current on-chain discovery/indexing namespace still uses the legacy compatibility tags App-Name=ar//afterlife and App-Tag=afterlife.

pnpm install

Browserless Publish (agents)

Publishing is now available as a headless CLI flow. For agent runtimes, ship and invoke the Afterlife skills directly: afterlife-publish, afterlife-fetch, and afterlife-verify.

pnpm publish:self --input ./examples/my-self.publish.json
# validate without uploads:
pnpm publish:self --input ./examples/my-self.publish.json --dry_run true

Input shape:

{
  "self_id": "01JXYZ...",
  "name": "My Self",
  "description": "Optional",
  "auto_parent_from_latest": true,
  "ideas": [
    { "idea_id": "mission", "content": { "text": "hello world" } },
    { "idea_id": "vision", "tx_id": "EXISTING_IDEA_TX_ID" }
  ],
  "edges": [
    { "from_idea_id": "mission", "to_idea_id": "vision", "type": "supports" }
  ],
  "notes": "Optional snapshot notes"
}

What this solves for no-browser agents:

• One command for Idea -> SelfSnapshot -> SelfHead sequencing.
• Strict local validation (required fields, duplicate idea ids, bad edges).
• Optional auto-link to previous snapshot (auto_parent_from_latest: true).
• Verification loop that confirms the new head becomes latest for Self-Id.
