# Lunar Atlas — Agent Onboarding > The framework-agnostic guide for any agent (Claude, GPT, Hermes, Codex, > Mistral, custom) that helps map the Bitcoin ecosystem through Lunar > Atlas. Read this end to end before your first call. Then keep it open. ## The mission You are an analyst for **Lunar Rails**, a Bitcoin banking house. Your job is to help map the Bitcoin ecosystem in the Lunar Atlas catalog and to keep the catalog's knowledge fresh, accurate, and useful. You do this through the Atlas API at `https://lunaratlas.dev/api/v1`. Your reads are filterable; your writes land as **proposals** in the curator's inbox. Nothing you propose is auto-applied. The curator reviews and accepts. That is the design. Your job is to make the curator's review trivial because every proposal you send is well-spec'd and grounded in public evidence. The house is built on four pillars: **Stewardship** (custody, key management), **Movement** (Lightning, cross-border payments), **Execution** (OTC trading, liquidity), and **Intelligence** (on-chain analytics, KYT). The catalog exists to tell the house where to deploy each pillar next. Everything you write should serve that purpose. Atlas can also support holding-level discovery through **Strategic Lenses**. A lens lets the same entity graph answer a different company question — Lunar Rails, Chainlabs Analytics, holding-wide, or a partner company — without making the core catalog generic. For Chainlabs work, keep the non-compete guardrail explicit: Chainlabs is an upstream data utility/attribution and clustering company, not a downstream KYT clone. ## The principals you serve The catalog tracks the actors of the Bitcoin economy: miners, corporate treasuries, merchants, family offices, infrastructure partners, financial institutions. These are the **principals** the house exists to serve. Use the word "principal," not "user." The catalog is a working document of who they are, what they need, who serves them today, and where Lunar Rails fits. ## Authentication Every request needs a Bearer token. A curator/admin mints one key for you from `/dashboard/team`. Send it as an HTTP header: ``` Authorization: Bearer atlas_live_ ``` Call `GET /v1/whoami` once on startup to confirm credentials. The response includes your scopes and budget. Common scopes: - `read:atlas` — read entities, segments, taxonomy, sources, drilldowns - `read:people` — read Key People - `read:proposals` — check proposal status/list - `write:proposals` — submit curator-reviewed inbox proposals - `read:gtm` — read GTM boards, briefing records, and Field Intel events - `write:gtm` — directly manage GTM assignments, intelligence briefs, and Field Intel events when explicitly trusted - `write:sources` — register public URL sources > **Retired:** `write:captures` and the `/v1/agents/captures` endpoints > were removed on 2026-07-25 along with voice capture and local Whisper > transcription. There is no audio ingestion path any more. If you have > a recording, transcribe it on your side and submit the text — as a > `POST /v1/agents/proposals/lore-update`, or as a file-backed source via > `POST /v1/agents/sources/upload`. Keys minted before that date may > still list `write:captures`; nothing checks it. The standard agent key should include `read:atlas`, `read:people`, `read:proposals`, and `write:proposals`. With those scopes, the happy path is simple: read context, dry-run bigger payloads with `POST /v1/agents/validate/bundle`, then submit via `POST /v1/agents/proposals/bundle` with an `Idempotency-Key`. You never directly mutate canonical Atlas records; proposals wait for curator review. ## The core workflows You will spend most of your time in these loops. They are ordered by how often the curator asks for each. ## Copy/paste prompt — "let's add a new entity" Use this prompt when the curator wants the agent to interview them and turn the conversation into a clean Atlas proposal: ```text You are a Lunar Atlas analyst agent. The curator wants to add or enrich an entity in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Your job is to interview the curator, research public sources, and prepare a curator-reviewed Atlas proposal. Do not submit anything until the curator approves the final change set. API base: https://lunaratlas.dev/api/v1 Docs: https://lunaratlas.dev/api and https://lunaratlas.dev/api/onboarding OpenAPI: https://lunaratlas.dev/api/v1/openapi.json Rules: - First call GET /whoami to confirm scopes. - Search Atlas before creating anything: GET /entities?q= and GET /people?q= for Key People. - Read valid taxonomy/reference data before assigning categories: GET /segments, /taxonomy, /capabilities, /needs, /verticals. - Do not invent facts, people, relationships, warm paths, sources, or GTM priority. - If confidence is below 3/5, ask a question instead of proposing the change. - Atlas is the wiki/source-of-truth layer. GTM is the operating/action layer. - Canonical Atlas writes must go through curator-reviewed proposals. - Always run POST /agents/validate/bundle before POST /agents/proposals/bundle. - Always use Idempotency-Key on write requests. Interview the curator in this order: 1. Identity: What entity are we adding/updating? Website, X, LinkedIn, GitHub, country/city, one-liner? 2. Atlas match: Is this already in Atlas? If yes, summarize what Atlas already knows. 3. Placement: Which Bitcoin economy segment(s), taxonomy tags, capabilities, needs, and verticals apply? 4. Why it matters: Why should Lunar Rails care? Customer, partner, provider, competitor, funder, benchmark, or context? 5. Evidence: What public URLs, docs, filings, announcements, interviews, or meeting notes support this? 6. Key People: Who are the 3-5 humans that matter, what are their roles, why do they matter, and are any primary contacts? 7. Relationships: What other entities are connected, and is each relationship confirmed or inferred? 8. GTM check: Should this stay Atlas-only, or should it be promoted to GTM with segment, lane, owner, rationale, and next action? After the interview and research, output this summary and ask for approval: Entity: Existing Atlas match: Proposed Atlas changes: 1. — confidence <1-5> — rationale Key People: 1. — — why they matter — confidence <1-5> Sources: 1. — why it matters GTM recommendation: - Atlas only / Promote to GTM - Segment: - Lane: - Priority: - Owner: - Next action: Open questions: - Ask: "Validate this bundle now?" Then run POST /agents/validate/bundle. If validation passes, ask: "Submit this proposal to the curator inbox?" Only submit after explicit approval. ``` ### 1. Discover The curator says: "find Bitcoin ecosystem entities we're missing." You scan the catalog, identify gaps, and propose new entities. ``` 1. GET /v1/segments # know top-level + child segments 2. GET /v1/taxonomy # know agent-facing tags 3. GET /v1/entities?segment=hardware-wallets # see memberships + segment_resolution 3. (research the open web — find missing players) 4. POST /v1/agents/proposals/entity # for each new one, with enrichment ``` Each new-entity proposal should include enrichment in the same call: suggested lr_fit, suggested providers, a one-liner, an event for any notable date. One conversation turn produces one inbox card with a fully spec'd dossier. ### 2. Enrich The curator says: "fill out the existing catalog." You find thin entities and propose enrichments. ``` 1. GET /v1/agent-work/items?limit=10 # explicit cleanup queue 2. For each entity: GET /v1/entities/{id} # context (research what's publicly known) POST /v1/agents/validate/bundle # optional dry run POST /v1/agents/proposals/bundle # batched suggestions ``` Default to enriching existing entities before creating new ones. The catalog grows in depth first, breadth second. ### 2a. Manage data quality coverage The curator says: "what is missing from the data?" Start with the coverage and work APIs instead of guessing from raw entity lists. ``` 1. GET /v1/atlas/visualization/coverage?segment=miners 2. GET /v1/agent-work/queues 3. GET /v1/agent-work/items?kind=missing_key_people,missing_relationship_path&limit=25 4. For each work item: GET /v1/entities/{slug} # read the dossier and current relationship fields GET /v1/entities/{slug}/sources # inspect existing evidence (research or ask curator for missing facts) POST /v1/agents/validate/bundle # dry-run the proposed cleanup POST /v1/agents/proposals/bundle # submit curator-reviewed changes ``` Coverage currently tracks missing country, city, Key People, relationship path context, and source records. For geography-specific review, use `GET /v1/entities?country=...®ion=...&city=...`. ### 3. Verify The curator says: "what's gone stale?" You re-confirm older claims and either refresh timestamps or propose updates. ``` 1. GET /v1/entities?last_verified_before=<90-days-ago> 2. For each entity: (check the public record: 10-Ks, press releases, recent news) If unchanged: propose an event noting the verification OR call GET /v1/agents/proposals to see what you've already submitted on this entity (shipped) If changed: POST /v1/agents/proposals/events or /bundle with the status/scale change ``` Conservative on speculation. If you cannot verify a claim with public evidence, surface that as a question in `rationale` and leave the claim alone. ### 4. Manage the GTM board The curator says: "add this account to GTM" or "draft this week's GTM brief." Use the GTM layer instead of changing canonical entity facts. ``` 1. GET /v1/gtm/segments?include_assignments=true 2. GET /v1/gtm/assignments?funnel_stage=opportunity-identified 3. POST /v1/gtm/assignments { "entity_slug": "strategy", "segment_slug": "treasuries", "lane": "primary", "fit": "Flagship public Bitcoin treasury benchmark.", "rationale": "Useful competitor/benchmark for treasury operating model.", "next_action": "Map providers, board governance, and reporting stack.", "owner": "GTM" } 4. POST /v1/gtm/briefs # create/update weekly draft 5. POST /v1/gtm/briefs/{slug}/links # attach entities/segments/sources ``` Keep the separation clean: Atlas records facts; GTM records priority, action, and weekly operating focus. The GTM funnel page derives `funnel_stage` from the writeable fields and the API returns it on assignment reads/writes: - `initial-contact` — early real contact, fit not assessed. - `in-discovery` — active conversation or right-person/product discovery. - `opportunity-identified` — client/partner opportunity, follow-up, product follow-up, or serviceability review. - `qualified-prospect` — BD-ready, handoff, or BD handoff. A curator can pin an account to one of these four stages directly with `funnel_stage_override` on `POST`/`PATCH /v1/gtm/assignments`, without touching `stage`/`classification`/`handoff_state`/`client_for`/`partner_for`. When set, it wins over the derived mapping above and is echoed back as `funnel_stage`; `funnel_stage_override: null` clears the pin and returns the account to derived placement. Accounts with no override keep their current derived placement. For normal call/intel ingestion, prefer the curator inbox instead of direct `write:gtm`: submit `POST /v1/agents/proposals/bundle` with a `gtm_upsert_assignment` change. That change can update the GTM page with stage, handoff state, classification, outreach status, learned signal, next step, service lane, contact path, right next person, blocker, comms channel, `client_for`, `partner_for`, `pillars`, `product_signal`, `source_ref`, and last touch. Setting `stage` requires `source_ref` evidence; omit `stage` when the source only supports research/watchlist context. ### 4a. Plan events / Field Intel The curator says: "add BTC Prague to Events" or "track who we need to meet at Bitcoin Asia." Use the Field Intel endpoints. These are trusted operating writes, not curator-reviewed dossier proposals, so they require `read:gtm` / `write:gtm`. An agent with only `write:proposals` (no `write:gtm`) can still surface event intel: `POST /v1/agents/proposals/field-events` upserts the event plus segment/entity/people links as one inbox card instead of the direct writes below. Unresolved entity/person names go in `unmatched_entities`/`unmatched_people` — it never auto-creates a canonical entity or person. ``` 1. GET /v1/field-events?q=prague 2. POST /v1/field-events { "slug": "btc-prague-2026", "name": "BTC Prague 2026", "event_kind": "conference", "starts_at": "2026-06-18", "ends_at": "2026-06-20", "city": "Prague", "country": "CZ", "priority": "high", "lifecycle_status": "planning", "strategic_reason": "High-density Bitcoin operator and infrastructure event.", "outreach_goal": "Map target meetings before the conference." } 3. POST /v1/field-events/btc-prague-2026/segments { "segment_slug": "lightning", "relevance": "Lightning operators and wallets likely attending." } 4. POST /v1/field-events/btc-prague-2026/entities { "entity_slug": "river-financial", "role": "target_customer", "outreach_status": "to_contact", "meeting_target": true, "next_step": "Find attending BD/product owner." } 5. POST /v1/field-events/btc-prague-2026/people { "person_slug": "example-person", "role": "target_contact", "outreach_status": "meeting_requested", "meeting_target": true, "relationship_note": "Warm intro path exists." } ``` Event links support slugs or UUIDs for segments, entities, and people. Use this surface for planning who Lunar should meet at an event. If the event reveals new canonical facts about an entity or person, submit those separately through `/agents/proposals/bundle`. Once an event is on the calendar, track goals, meetings, and follow-ups directly against it — same `read:gtm`/`write:gtm` scopes: ``` 6. POST /v1/field-events/btc-prague-2026/goals { "title": "Book 3 treasury custody meetings", "metric": "Meetings booked", "target_value": 3 } 7. PATCH /v1/field-events/btc-prague-2026/goals/{goalId} { "progress_value": 1, "status": "on_track" } 8. POST /v1/field-events/btc-prague-2026/interactions { "entity_slug": "river-financial", "scheduled_at": "2026-06-19T14:00:00Z", "purpose": "Custody workflow deep-dive", "status": "booked" } 9. PATCH /v1/field-events/btc-prague-2026/interactions/{interactionId} { "status": "completed", "signal_strength": "strong", "outcome_notes": "Warm on custody, cold on OTC.", "next_step": "Send custody one-pager." } 10. POST /v1/field-events/btc-prague-2026/follow-ups { "entity_slug": "river-financial", "action_text": "Send custody one-pager", "follow_up_type": "email", "due_date": "2026-06-25" } 11. PATCH /v1/field-events/btc-prague-2026/follow-ups/{followUpId} { "status": "done" } 12. GET /v1/field-events/btc-prague-2026/scorecard 13. PATCH /v1/field-events/btc-prague-2026/scorecard { "verdict": "strong", "verdict_notes": "Custody thread converted; OTC needs more nurture." } ``` An interaction resolves to an existing `entity_id`/`entity_slug`, a `person_id`/`person_slug`, or a freeform `counterpart_name` when the contact isn't in Atlas yet — at least one is required. A follow-up can optionally carry `interaction_id` to trace it back to the meeting it came from. Setting a follow-up's `status` to `done` without an explicit `completed_at` stamps it with the current time automatically. The scorecard is upserted — there is no separate create call — and only carries the curator's qualitative verdict, review notes, and reported cost/time; goal achievement, meeting completion, signals captured, and follow-up completion rates are derived on read and never stored, so no dollar ROI figure exists in this layer. #### Agent-first roster ingestion The curator says: "figure out who's sponsoring/speaking at BTC Prague and get me a working list." This is the primary agent workflow for the roster surface — you do the research (the API never fetches or scrapes a URL itself), then bulk-POST structured findings with your own source evidence. ``` 1. POST /v1/field-events (create the event from the conference URL/facts, as above) 2. (research externally: read the event's sponsor/speaker/exhibitor pages yourself) 3. POST /v1/field-events/btc-prague-2026/roster { "candidates": [ { "role": "sponsor", "candidate_type": "entity", "display_name": "Acme Custody", "context": "Gold tier sponsor", "source_url": "https://btcprague.com/sponsors", "evidence_note": "Listed under 'Gold Sponsors' on the official sponsor page.", "confidence": 5 }, { "role": "speaker", "candidate_type": "person", "display_name": "Jane Doe", "context": "CTO, Acme Custody — panel: 'Institutional custody at scale'", "source_url": "https://btcprague.com/speakers/jane-doe", "confidence": 4 } ] } 4. GET /v1/field-events/btc-prague-2026/roster?review_status=unreviewed 5. PATCH /v1/field-events/btc-prague-2026/roster/{candidateId} { "matched_entity_slug": "acme-custody", "meeting_target": true, "next_step": "Book a booth meeting" } 6. (no existing match found) POST /v1/agents/proposals/entity or /v1/agents/proposals/person to propose the new canonical record, then optionally: PATCH /v1/field-events/btc-prague-2026/roster/{candidateId} { "review_status": "promoted" } 7. POST /v1/field-events/btc-prague-2026/interactions / follow-ups, as above, once a candidate is a meeting target ``` Up to 200 candidates per `POST`; split a larger roster across multiple calls. Ingestion is idempotent — pass `external_ref` (a stable id from the source, e.g. a sponsor page slug) when you have one, otherwise re-posting the same `role` + `display_name` updates the existing row instead of duplicating it, so re-scraping a roster page after the event adds sponsors is safe. A roster candidate is never a canonical entity or person by itself: `matched_entity_id`/`matched_entity_slug` or `matched_person_id`/`matched_person_slug` on the `PATCH` (or in the bulk `POST`) link it to one that already exists (setting one clears the other, and auto-sets `review_status` to `matched` unless you pass a `review_status` yourself); an unresolved candidate is promoted into a brand-new canonical record only through the normal `/v1/agents/proposals/entity` or `/v1/agents/proposals/person` inbox flow. Linking to an existing record is not just a staging pointer, though: that same `POST`/`PATCH` also idempotently upserts the matching `field_event_entities`/`field_event_people` row, so the event shows up on the entity's or person's own page too, not just in the roster. The roster's broader role vocabulary is mapped onto the narrower canonical enum (`exhibitor`/`attendee` both become `attending`; `target` becomes `target_customer` for an entity or `target_contact` for a person), and `meeting_target`, `outreach_status`, `next_step`, and a relationship note (your own `relationship_note`, or a note derived from `context`/`evidence_note` if you didn't set one) carry over. This part is upsert-idempotent too, keyed on `(field_event_id, entity_id/person_id, role)`. Staying unmatched means staying staged only — no canonical write happens until you match. And unmatching or dismissing a candidate later never deletes a canonical link already created (by you or by a curator by hand); it just stops syncing. ### 4. Map relationships The curator says: "how is X connected to Y in the catalog?" You propose relationship rows linking entities you find connected. ``` 1. GET /v1/entities/{id}?include=relationships 2. (research the entity's known partners, providers, competitors) 3. For each connection: POST /v1/agents/proposals/relationships ``` Use the specific relationship_type. `custody` if one custodies for the other. `liquidity` for trading/market-making. `payment` for payment flow. `infra` for infrastructure dependency. `capital` for lending or equity. `integration` for product integration. `partnership` for announced commercial partner. `adjacency` for "same ecosystem, no direct flow." Don't pile on adjacency relationships. ### 5. Classify taxonomy The curator says: "make Lightning less fuzzy" or "split wallets from LSPs." You use the stable taxonomy layer instead of guessing from UI labels. ``` 1. GET /v1/taxonomy?parent=lightning 2. GET /v1/entities?tag=lightning&limit=50 3. For each entity that deserves a narrower tag: POST /v1/agents/proposals/bundle with assign_taxonomy_term ``` Example bundle change: ```json { "kind": "assign_taxonomy_term", "taxonomy_term_slug": "lightning.infrastructure.lsp", "confidence": 4, "rationale": "Voltage sells hosted Lightning node and liquidity infrastructure, so LSP/infrastructure classification is appropriate." } ``` Useful filters: ``` GET /v1/entities?tag=lightning.wallets.custodial GET /v1/entities?any_tag=lightning.wallets,lightning.infrastructure.lsp GET /v1/entities?all_tags=lightning,lightning.infrastructure,lightning.infrastructure.lsp ``` ### 6. Run holding / Chainlabs discovery The curator says: "use Atlas for Chainlabs / holding strategy" or "map this product discovery sprint." You should treat non-Bitcoin entities as valid only when they inform Lunar Rails, Chainlabs, or holding strategy. Use the holding intelligence schema concepts: - Strategic Lenses — Lunar Rails, Chainlabs Analytics, Holding-wide, partner company. - Discovery Sprints — hypothesis, target segments, target companies, policy track, interview status, pain points, build-vs-buy, willingness-to-pay. - Product Capability Needs — roadmap capabilities implied by market evidence. - Regulatory Triggers — policy events creating urgency and product needs. - Opportunity Adjacency — the Chainlabs non-compete classifier. For Chainlabs recommendations, always classify the opportunity before recommending action: - `core_customer_territory_avoid` — direct KYT/compliance analytics product space; do not recommend building. - `adjacent_workflow_review` — slight overlap; requires human review. - `infrastructure_enabler_strong` — upstream labels, clusters, metadata, coverage, QC, or workflow enablement. - `packaged_intelligence_possible` — bounded report/package, not a full competing platform. - `partner_integration_preferred` — pursue through downstream customers or partner platforms. - `internal_accelerator_strong` — helps Chainlabs produce data/intelligence faster or cheaper. The first seeded sprint is `chainlabs-us-product-discovery-2026`; the first UI view is `/atlas/holding`. Sprint targets are clickable at `/atlas/holding/{targetId}`. Bots can update structured discovery fields after each `log` command with: ``` POST /v1/discovery-sprints/chainlabs-us-product-discovery-2026/targets/{targetId} ``` Useful fields include `status`, `pain_points`, `opportunities`, `current_providers`, `contacts`, `key_metrics`, `relationship_label`, `next_action`, `meeting_summaries`, `source_links`, `build_vs_buy_signal`, `willingness_to_pay_signal`, and `missing_info`. Store Fathom links in `meeting_summaries` or `source_links`, not as orphaned free text. ### 7. Map key people The curator says: "who matters at this entity?" You identify the small set of humans who change the next action: primary contacts, decision makers, founders/executives, technical evaluators, and warm paths. Do not build a CRM dump. If a person is not relevant to the entity's strategy, opportunity, or next action, skip them. ``` 1. GET /v1/entities/{id}?include=people,lore 2. GET /v1/people?entity={slug-or-id} # optional cross-check 3. If the person is new: POST /v1/agents/proposals/bundle with create_person + attach_person_role If the person exists: POST /v1/agents/proposals/bundle with update_person and/or attach_person_role ``` Key People changes are proposals. They land in the curator inbox. Person create/update payloads can include `avatar_url`, `website_url`, `x_url`, `linkedin_url`, `github_url`, and `nostr_url`; use them when the profile is public and relevant. Never assume a public title alone is enough; explain why the person matters for Lunar Rails. Agents cannot set `next_action` or `trust_blocker`. Those are curator-only fields. ### 7. Intelligence (Phase E, coming) Eventually you'll publish reports against the catalog ("ETF concentration brief," "treasury accumulation report"). This is a future endpoint. Don't worry about it yet. ## Conservative on speculation, aggressive on structural facts Two rules govern everything you write: **Be aggressive when you see a structural fact.** A miner's custody provider mentioned in a 10-K, an ETF's known issuer, a public investment by a fund — these are evidence-backed and worth proposing. Confidence 4-5. **Be conservative when you see speculation.** Industry rumors, unsourced claims, anonymized leaks — these are confidence 1-2 and usually should not become proposals. If you're guessing, skip the change. An empty array is a valid output. Never fabricate. When in doubt: include the evidence URL. Public filings, press releases, official blog posts. If you cannot cite a source, your confidence should drop accordingly. ## Suggested system prompt When you bootstrap a new agent, paste this as the system prompt. Edit to taste; the spirit matters more than the letter. ``` You are an analyst for Lunar Rails, a Bitcoin banking house with four pillars: Stewardship, Movement, Execution, Intelligence. Your job is to help map the Bitcoin ecosystem in the Lunar Atlas catalog via the Lunar Atlas API at https://lunaratlas.dev/api/v1. The catalog tracks principals (miners, corporate treasuries, merchants, family offices, infrastructure, financial institutions). Your writes land as proposals in the curator's inbox; the curator accepts. Nothing auto-applies. When the curator asks about an entity: 1. GET /v1/entities/{slug-or-id}?include=lr_fit,providers,relationships 2. Read the dossier. 3. Research the open web for what's missing or stale. 4. Propose changes via POST /v1/agents/proposals/bundle (existing entity) or /v1/agents/proposals/entity (new entity). Entity identity fields are supported: logo_url, website_url, x_url, linkedin_url, github_url, nostr_url, crunchbase_url. 5. For key people, use create_person/update_person plus attach_person_role inside the bundle. Same-bundle create+attach is allowed by referencing the new person's slug. Person profile fields are supported: avatar_url, website_url, x_url, linkedin_url, github_url, nostr_url. When the curator asks about a segment: 0. If the segment does not exist yet, propose it with POST /v1/agents/proposals/segments. Do not invent canonical segments directly. 1. GET /v1/atlas/segments/{slug}/drilldown for the page-shaped view. Parent drilldowns include child memberships by default; add `include_children=false` for exact-only. 2. Read each entity's `segment_resolution`: primary_top_level_segment, subsegment_breadcrumb, all_segment_memberships, taxonomy_terms, and display_path. Then follow agent_dossier_endpoint for full context. 3. Identify curation_gaps and thin metadata. 4. Propose drill-down updates via POST /v1/atlas/segments/{slug}/drilldown/proposals, or use /v1/agents/proposals/bundle for broader enrichment. Rules: - Use slugs from GET /v1/segments, GET /v1/capabilities, and GET /v1/taxonomy. If a segment is genuinely missing, propose it via POST /v1/agents/proposals/segments, then use `update_entity_segment` inside `/v1/agents/proposals/bundle` after the segment exists. - Segment reassignment is ontology-aware. If you propose a child segment, curator acceptance stores the parent in `entities.segment_id`, the child in `entities.subsegment_id`, parent membership as primary, and child membership as secondary. Do not duplicate that logic client-side; read `segment_resolution` after acceptance. - Include `rationale` and `evidence_url` whenever a claim has a public source. Filings, press releases, official blogs. - Confidence 5 = publicly documented, 4 = strongly reputed, 3 = plausible from context, 1-2 = guess. Skip changes you would rate below 3. - Empty array is always a valid output. Never fabricate. - Use the `Idempotency-Key` header on every POST so retries don't duplicate proposals. - Speak in the editorial voice of the house: principals, not users. Bitcoin is the asset. No em dashes. ``` ## Reference taxonomy These are the slugs you use in proposals. The taxonomies will grow over time; always check the live endpoints (`GET /v1/segments`, `GET /v1/capabilities`, `GET /v1/needs`, `GET /v1/taxonomy`) before composing a payload. ### Segment focus model Atlas is intentionally weighted toward four core Lunar Rails segments: - `miners` — Mining - `treasuries` — Corporate Treasuries - `lightning` — Lightning - `family-offices` — Family Offices All other top-level segments are `context`: useful ecosystem terrain that should explain providers, adjacencies, distribution, influence, infrastructure, or risk around the core map. When ranking research work, prioritize the core segments unless the curator explicitly asks for context mapping. ### Segments (top-level) ``` miners — Industrial Bitcoin producers mining-hardware — ASIC manufacturers, foundries mining-protocol — Pools, stratum protocols mining-software — Firmware, monitoring, mining ops software mining-operations — Operating sites, hosted hashrate, capital deployers mining-capital — BTC-collateralized lending, working capital treasuries — Corporate Bitcoin holders (MSTR, Metaplanet, Block) custody — Qualified custodians (Coinbase Custody, BitGo) family-offices — Private wealth allocators merchants — Businesses accepting Bitcoin lightning — Lightning Network and L2 infrastructure financial — Banks, prime brokers, ETF issuers governments — Nation-states, central banks, sovereign holders etfs — Spot/futures Bitcoin ETF products payments — Cross-asset payment processors hardware-wallets — Self-custody hardware manufacturers venture — Bitcoin-native VC and capital allocators bitcoin-community-media — Social/news/education/culture surfaces that shape narrative and coordination bitcoin-jobs-talent — Job boards, recruiting, talent marketplaces, and ecosystem hiring signals tax-accounting-compliance — Reporting, accounting, bookkeeping, tax prep, transaction classification, and compliance tooling bitcoin-commerce-discovery — Merchant discovery, BTC maps, circular-economy indexes, and commerce search layers bitcoin-education-research — Knowledge institutions, education platforms, policy/research orgs, curriculum projects grants-open-source-funding — Grants, protocol funding, open-source support, and public-goods capital outside VC ``` ### Agent-facing taxonomy tags Call `GET /v1/taxonomy` for the canonical list. Current starter slice: ``` lightning — Lightning ecosystem lightning.apps — End-user or business Lightning apps lightning.wallets — Lightning wallet products lightning.wallets.custodial — Custodial Lightning wallets lightning.wallets.self-custodial — Self-custodial Lightning wallets lightning.infrastructure — Node, liquidity, routing, enterprise infra lightning.infrastructure.lsp — Lightning Service Providers lightning.infrastructure.node-management — Hosted node / ops / observability tooling lightning.infrastructure.liquidity — Channel/liquidity/routing services lightning.payments — Merchant/remittance/payout flows l2 — Bitcoin L2 ecosystem l2.fedimint — Fedimint/e-cash systems l2.liquid — Liquid sidechain ecosystem l2.ark — Ark-style payment pools ``` Use `assign_taxonomy_term` in `/v1/agents/proposals/bundle` to propose tagging an entity. Taxonomy proposals are still curator-reviewed. ### Capabilities (Lunar Rails service stack) ``` custody — Institutional Custody (horizon: now) trading — OTC Trading (horizon: now) payments — Cross-Asset Payments (horizon: now) intelligence — On-Chain Intelligence (horizon: now) working_capital — Working Capital (horizon: near) prime_vaults — Prime Vaults (horizon: near) marketplace — Marketplace (horizon: future) ``` ### Bitcoin posture (what the entity IS) ``` producer — Mines BTC holder — Treasury allocator allocator — Asset manager / VC service_provider — Custody / OTC / infra merchant — Accepts BTC institution — Bank / regulated FI infrastructure — Protocol / L2 / tools ``` ### Competitive posture (the LR overlay) ``` incumbent — Established player in this segment competitor — Directly competes with an LR pillar partner — Plausible commercial partner complement — Enables LR's pillars without competing whitespace — No competitor visible; opportunity not_applicable — Not in scope (sovereigns, etc.) ``` ### Relationship types ``` custody — One custodies for the other liquidity — Trading or market-making between payment — Payment flow between infra — Infrastructure dependency capital — Lending or equity relationship integration — Product integration partnership — Announced commercial partner adjacency — Same ecosystem, no direct flow ``` ### LR fit horizon ``` now — Active need today near — Within 12 months future — Beyond 12 months partner — Not a buyer but a commercial partner ``` ## Drill-down curation loop Drill-down pages are dossier-first reader surfaces. Agents should use the matching page-shaped API when asked to improve one of those views. ``` 1. GET /v1/atlas/segments/treasuries/drilldown?limit=50 2. Pick an item from curation_gaps.missing_one_liner or stale scale data. 3. GET the entity's agent_dossier_endpoint for full context. 4. Research and verify the fact. 5. POST /v1/atlas/segments/treasuries/drilldown/proposals ``` Example update proposal: ```json { "target_entity_slug": "strategy", "intent": "update_scale", "match_rationale": "Treasury drill-down showed stale holdings metadata.", "changes": [ { "kind": "update_entity_fields", "field_updates": { "scale_patch": { "treasury_btc": 582000 }, "strategic_importance": 5 }, "confidence": 4, "rationale": "Public filings and treasury tracker show current BTC holdings." } ] } ``` Supported drill-down change kinds: - `update_entity_fields` — `one_liner`, `description`, `strategic_importance`, and sparse `scale_patch` - `update_notes` — append curator notes - `set_relationship_status` — `cold`, `warm`, `active`, `client`, or `alumnus` These still land in `/dashboard/inbox`. Nothing directly mutates the canonical catalog until a curator accepts. ## Concrete examples Five worked examples, one per ecosystem your agent might live in. All five do the same thing: propose a new entity (Anchorage Digital) with bundled enrichment. ### curl ```bash curl -X POST https://lunaratlas.dev/api/v1/agents/proposals/entity \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $ATLAS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \ -d '{ "entity": { "slug": "anchorage-digital", "name": "Anchorage Digital", "segment_slug": "custody", "posture": "service_provider", "competitive_posture": "competitor", "country": "United States", "one_liner": "First federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S." }, "match_rationale": "Conversation with curator about adding Anchorage.", "enrichment": { "lr_fit": [ {"capability_slug":"custody","horizon":"now","fit_score":3, "rationale":"Direct competitor for institutional custody."} ] } }' ``` ### TypeScript (fetch) ```ts const res = await fetch( "https://lunaratlas.dev/api/v1/agents/proposals/entity", { method: "POST", headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.ATLAS_API_KEY}`, "Content-Type": "application/json", "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(), }, body: JSON.stringify({ entity: { slug: "anchorage-digital", name: "Anchorage Digital", segment_slug: "custody", posture: "service_provider", competitive_posture: "competitor", country: "United States", one_liner: "First federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S.", }, enrichment: { lr_fit: [ { capability_slug: "custody", horizon: "now", fit_score: 3, rationale: "Direct competitor for institutional custody.", }, ], }, }), }, ); const { proposal_id, change_count, inbox_url } = await res.json(); ``` ### Python (httpx) ```python import httpx, os, uuid resp = httpx.post( "https://lunaratlas.dev/api/v1/agents/proposals/entity", headers={ "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['ATLAS_API_KEY']}", "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()), }, json={ "entity": { "slug": "anchorage-digital", "name": "Anchorage Digital", "segment_slug": "custody", "posture": "service_provider", "competitive_posture": "competitor", "country": "United States", "one_liner": "First federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S.", }, "enrichment": { "lr_fit": [{ "capability_slug": "custody", "horizon": "now", "fit_score": 3, "rationale": "Direct competitor for institutional custody.", }], }, }, timeout=30, ) proposal_id = resp.json()["proposal_id"] ``` ### OpenAI function-calling In Assistants or Custom GPT Actions, import the OpenAPI spec URL `https://lunaratlas.dev/api/v1/openapi.json` directly. ChatGPT converts the spec into function definitions and routes calls through the Bearer key automatically. No glue code needed. For raw function-calling SDK: ```ts // Function definition (auto-generated from OpenAPI): { "type": "function", "function": { "name": "propose_new_entity", "description": "Propose a new entity with optional enrichment...", "parameters": { /* JSON Schema from OpenAPI components.EntityProposalRequest */ } } } ``` ### Anthropic tool-use Same shape as OpenAI but using Anthropic's tool-use schema. Generate from OpenAPI components or hand-author: ```ts const tools = [ { name: "propose_new_entity", description: "...", input_schema: { type: "object", required: ["entity"], properties: { entity: { /* same shape as OpenAPI EntityProposalRequest.entity */ }, enrichment: { /* optional */ }, }, }, }, ]; ``` ## Working with the inbox Your proposals land in `https://lunaratlas.dev/dashboard/inbox` attributed to your service profile ("Atlas Agent" today; per-agent identities in Phase C). The inbox renders bundled proposals as one card with multiple change rows. The curator selects which changes to accept and clicks accept. If the proposal includes `create_entity`, that change is processed first; subsequent changes target the just-created entity automatically. You do not see the inbox directly. To query the proposals you have submitted, hit `GET /v1/agents/proposals` (shipped 2026-05-13). Defaults to `mine_only=true`; supports filtering by status (pending / accepted / rejected) and cursor pagination. Use this to learn from the curator's decisions — what did they accept, what did they reject, what did they edit before accepting. Important: the curator may **edit** your proposed text before accepting. Dossier bodies, relationship descriptions, event headlines, notes append-text, and new-entity descriptions are all inline-editable in the inbox. The edited version is what gets persisted on the proposal row, so when you read it back via `GET /v1/agents/proposals/{id}`, the `proposed_changes` field reflects the curator's polish, not your raw submission. ## Error handling Every error response is shaped: ```json { "error": { "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR", "message": "capability_slug 'custodyy' is not a known capability", "hint": "Call GET /v1/capabilities to list valid slugs.", "retryable": false, "doc_url": "..." } } ``` Codes you will see: ``` VALIDATION_ERROR 400 Fix the payload. Do not retry. UNAUTHORIZED 401 Token missing/invalid. Halt. FORBIDDEN 403 Token revoked or out of scope. Halt. NOT_FOUND 404 Referenced entity/slug not found. CONFLICT 409 Slug already exists; use the existing one. RATE_LIMITED 429 Read Retry-After; back off. Defaults are 3 captures/min, 30/hour, 200/day per key. Every successful response carries the remaining-count headers so you can self-pace. BUDGET_EXHAUSTED 429 Daily budget spent. Pause until reset. INTERNAL 500 Retry once with backoff. ``` On `RATE_LIMITED`, the response carries: ``` Retry-After: X-RateLimit-Limit / X-RateLimit-Remaining / X-RateLimit-Reset X-RateLimit-{Limit,Remaining}-{Minute,Hour,Day} ``` Sleep for `Retry-After` seconds and retry. Polite agents read the per-window detail and slow themselves down before they hit the cap. The `retryable` field is the truth. If `retryable: true`, retry with exponential backoff (start 1s, double, max 60s, give up after 5 tries). If `retryable: false`, fix the input or halt. ## Idempotency Every POST takes an optional `Idempotency-Key` header. Use one. A fresh UUID per logical operation. The server caches the response for 24 hours; replays return the cached `proposal_id` with `replayed: true` instead of creating duplicates. Free safety net. ## Budget Every response includes `X-Budget-Remaining-USD` and `X-RateLimit-Remaining`. When budget approaches zero, pause new work and ask the curator. When budget is exhausted you will see `BUDGET_EXHAUSTED` and should halt entirely. Per-key budgets land in Phase C. Today's shared key has a generous ceiling; behave as if it were tight. ## Things to never do A list of anti-patterns. If you find yourself doing any of these, stop and reconsider. - **Fabricate.** If you do not have a public source, do not propose the change. Empty array is fine. - **Invent slugs.** Every slug field must match a value from the live taxonomy endpoints. Call them; don't guess. - **Propose duplicates.** Use idempotency keys. Check `GET /v1/entities?name=` before proposing a new entity. - **Bypass the inbox.** There are three direct-write endpoints (verify, reports, trusted-source events) but they are narrowly scoped. Everything else goes through proposals. - **Skip the rationale.** Every change carries a `rationale` field. Use it. The curator reviews based on rationale; vague rationales get rejected. - **Use em dashes in prose.** The house writes in a specific voice; no em dashes anywhere in user-visible text. - **Call principals "users."** They are principals. Always. ## Where to look next - `/api/v1/openapi.json` — the canonical machine-readable contract - `/api` — interactive docs (Scalar) for endpoint exploration - `https://lunaratlas.dev/dashboard` — the curator surface - `docs/plans/LUNAR-ATLAS-API.md` in the repo — the product spec - `docs/plans/LUNAR-RAILS-VISION.md` — the house and its mission Welcome to the house. ### Entity lifecycle / removal recommendations Agents must not delete entities. If an entity appears defunct, irrelevant, duplicated, or false-positive, propose a lifecycle change through `/v1/agents/proposals/bundle`: ```json { "target_entity_slug": "example-entity", "changes": [ { "kind": "suggest_entity_lifecycle", "lifecycle_status": "defunct", "reason": "Official site and recent sources indicate the company has shut down.", "confidence": 4, "rationale": "Curator should mark as defunct rather than delete so historical context remains available." } ] } ``` Use `false_positive` when the entity should not be in Atlas at all. A curator/admin decides whether to accept the lifecycle marker or hard-delete from the dashboard. ### Propose entity opportunity fields Use `suggest_entity_opportunity` when a curator asks for the entity Opportunity Card to become an operating record instead of a purely inferred read. Submit it through `/v1/agents/proposals/bundle`; do not claim the canonical entity changed until the inbox proposal is accepted. The R2 / Opportunity Card is opt-in per entity. Most Atlas records are ecosystem context and should leave `show_opportunity_card=false`. Curators can toggle it in the entity editor; agents may propose `update_entity_fields.field_updates.show_opportunity_card=true` only when there is a real target/watchlist/partner reason. Include at least one of: `opportunity_thesis`, `buying_trigger`, `trust_blocker`, `next_action`, `opportunity_owner`, `opportunity_rationale`. Prefer concise, source-backed fields over CRM sludge. ```json { "target_entity_slug": "river-financial", "changes": [ { "kind": "suggest_entity_opportunity", "opportunity_thesis": "River is a credible Lightning/payments account for Lunar Rails because its retail brokerage and custody surface overlap with LR payment/custody capabilities.", "buying_trigger": "A custody, Lightning, or payment product expansion creates a reason to engage.", "trust_blocker": "No confirmed partnership owner or warm path yet.", "next_action": "Find the relevant partnerships/product owner and attach the source that proves the angle.", "opportunity_owner": "Grafton", "opportunity_rationale": "Based on mapped LR fit and public company positioning.", "confidence": 4, "rationale": "Source-backed operating read for curator review." } ] } ``` ### Rename, merge, and soft-delete recommendations Agents cannot rename, merge, or delete anything directly — there is no dedicated endpoint. All six of these land as `kind`s inside `POST /v1/agents/proposals/bundle`, just like any other proposal, and they are the one category the curator inbox will **never** bulk-auto-accept. Every one of them requires an individual human review, no matter how high the confidence. - `rename_entity` — rename the bundle target entity. At least one of `new_slug`/`new_name`. - `rename_person` — rename any person by `target_person_slug_or_id`. At least one of `new_slug`/`new_name`. - `merge_entities` — merge `duplicate_entity_id` into the bundle target entity (the target always survives). - `merge_people` — merge `duplicate_person_slug_or_id` into `primary_person_slug_or_id` (primary always survives). - `soft_delete_entity` — archive the bundle target entity with a `reason`. - `soft_delete_person` — archive a person (`target_person_slug_or_id`) with a `reason`. Renaming folds the old slug/name into `aliases` so old links and searches keep resolving. Merging is reference-safe on accept: every table that references the losing entity/person is repointed at the winner, the loser's slug/name/aliases fold into the winner's `aliases`, and the loser is archived (`lifecycle_status='archived'`, `merged_into_id` set) rather than deleted. Soft-delete is the same archive mechanism `suggest_entity_lifecycle` uses — nothing is ever hard-deleted through the API. Propose a rename when a company/person's canonical slug or display name has changed (rebrand, legal name change, corrected typo): ```json { "target_entity_slug": "old-co", "changes": [ { "kind": "rename_entity", "new_slug": "new-co", "new_name": "New Co", "confidence": 5, "rationale": "Rebrand confirmed via official site and social profiles." } ] } ``` Propose a merge when you find two catalog rows for the same real-world entity or person — the bundle's target entity/the `primary_person_slug_or_id` side survives, the other is absorbed: ```json { "target_entity_slug": "acme-custody", "changes": [ { "kind": "merge_entities", "duplicate_entity_id": "acme-custody-inc", "confidence": 4, "rationale": "Duplicate row for the same company, created from an earlier source match under a slightly different name." } ] } ``` Propose a soft-delete only to recommend archiving a record that should never have existed or is fully defunct — for a lifecycle nuance short of full removal, prefer `suggest_entity_lifecycle` instead: ```json { "target_entity_slug": "example-entity", "changes": [ { "kind": "soft_delete_entity", "reason": "Not a real ecosystem entity; created from a bad source match with no corroborating evidence.", "confidence": 4, "rationale": "Duplicate search and public sources both fail to confirm this company exists." } ] } ``` `rename_person`, `merge_people`, and `soft_delete_person` follow the same shapes but reference people by slug/UUID (`target_person_slug_or_id`, or `primary_person_slug_or_id`/`duplicate_person_slug_or_id` for a merge) instead of the bundle's target entity. ## Fresh Signals rule Fresh Signals are untrusted freshness inputs for watched entities or manually pasted sources. Treat them as leads, not facts. If you are asked to work from a Fresh Signal, read the source, explain why it matters, and propose canonical changes through the proposal flow. Do not state that an event, relationship, provider, or opportunity field changed until a curator accepts the proposal. ### Fresh Signal conversion guidance When reviewing a Fresh Signal, choose the narrowest useful proposal type: - Use `add_event` when the signal is an important dated update. - Use `suggest_relationship` when it reveals a partnership, integration, deal, dependency, or adjacency between two catalog entities. - Use `add_provider` when it reveals that the entity uses or depends on a provider for a Lunar Rails capability. - Use `suggest_entity_opportunity` when it changes the account thesis, buying trigger, trust blocker, next action, owner, or rationale. Do not convert vague news into relationship/provider facts unless the source actually supports the claim.
