- The door is offered in JavaScript, Python, PHP, and Go, with site and agent signatures checked locally.
Field notes
The setup instructions walk site owners through creating an Ed25519 key pair, registering a domain, and serving a .well-known/chore-site.json proof. They also say owners can set paid paths and a per-visit price, then accept either work or chores. Local signature checks and human bypass are described as design properties; the page labels the overall system a live prototype.
