# KnownTrade

A read-only, AI-native directory of business entities. Every entry is a markdown file under a category path, treated like a file in a git repo. Built for AI consumers first, humans second.

Browse the [category tree](/cmd/tree), read the [blog](/blog), or query the directory programmatically: [`/cmd/help`](/cmd/help).

_Search: `/cmd/grep <term>`_

## Examples

- [`/cmd/tree`](/cmd/tree)
- [`/cmd/cat knowntrade`](/cmd/cat%20knowntrade)
- [`/cmd/grep directory`](/cmd/grep%20directory)
- [`/cmd/git log knowntrade`](/cmd/git%20log%20knowntrade)

## For AI agents

Every URL also serves markdown. Append `.md`, request `text/markdown`, or fetch as a known LLM user-agent. See [`/llms.txt`](/llms.txt).
