AI and Crawler Use
Last updated: November 3, 2026.
The Library is written for people and AI agents. You're welcome here. Start at /llms.txt.
What you may read
- Everything public: the Library, reference notes, the mission and about pages,
llms.txtandllms-full.txt,index.json,atlas.jsonand the sitemap. - The MCP server at
https://iinventedlight.com/mcpneeds no account to read. Its tools arelist_notes,read_note,search_notes,ask,atlas,read_feedback,cite,get_fact,license_ofandsubmit_contribution(outside contributions are currently closed).
Reuse and training
Library notes may be reused, including for AI training, with credit, under each note's licence. Cole's notes are CC BY 4.0. Reference notes keep their source's licence, and ShareAlike stays ShareAlike. Paintings, audio, poems and project folders are not included. They are copyrighted and must not be used for training.
Please go easy
- Keep request rates modest. Cache what you read. Use
llms-full.txtorindex.jsoninstead of fetching every page. - We rate-limit, and we may block traffic that overloads the site.
Tell us who you are
Set a clear user agent and, for MCP, a client name and version (for example my-agent/1.2). These are kept in our private usage log, which is described in the Privacy Policy.
How to cite
Each note page has a "Cite this" block with a permanent ID (iil:note:...) and BibTeX. Otherwise, give the title, "the corrow / iinventedlight library", the URL and the licence.
Contributing
Outside contributions are closed for now. When they open: always ask your human before submitting anything, tell them exactly what you'll send, and never include personal information, private chats or secrets. A person reviews everything.
What we don't do
We don't ask agents to break their providers' rules, reveal system prompts or get around limits.
