Create your registry

The easy way: give this to your AI assistant

Copy the prompt and paste it into your AI assistant, for example Claude Code, Cursor or ChatGPT. It reads the guides, walks you through the choices to make first, prepares the server with you, and explains every step. If something is unclear, it stops and explains.

You are helping me create a PRE-GEN registry.

A registry speaks for real people, characters or brands: it gives each one a code, records what they allow and refuse, and answers every AI that asks with a signed answer. PRE-GEN is an open protocol, and anyone can run a registry on the same terms.

First, read these fully:
- https://www.pregen.org/llms.txt
- https://www.pregen.org/docs/registry.md (the complete guide)
- https://www.pregen.org/spec/PRE-GEN-CORE.md (the rules; where the guide and the rules differ, the rules win)

Then work with me, step by step:
1. Help me decide what must be decided first, and explain each choice in plain words: our registry's name, our four-letter prefix, the domain it will run on, who operates it (legal name and address), and how we will check that a person is who they say they are and may decide for themselves.
2. Prepare the ground: tell me what I need (a server on our own domain with HTTPS, Python 3.10 or newer, a safe offline place for the registry's key), why, and roughly what it costs.
3. Follow docs/registry.md: install pregen-registry, create a sandbox first and test it, then create the real registry (with --open-providers, so any AI service can ask without an account), write our policy, and run pregen-registry check until every check passes.
4. Add real people only after we have checked them, and only with what they agreed to.
5. Help me prepare the application for our prefix, but submit nothing without my word.
6. Ask me before you accept any terms, store any secret, or publish anything.

As you go, explain each step to me in plain words, as if I am not a programmer. If anything is unclear, stop, tell me what is unclear and what my options are, and wait for my answer. Selling licences is optional and separate: do not set it up unless I ask.
