# tokens&

> Evidence-first developer utility for comparing AI/devtool stacks, generating minimal coding-agent Build Packets, and publishing project proof; plus a privacy-safe enterprise adoption intelligence layer.

tokens& helps developers compare AI/devtool products using source-labeled docs, API fit, pricing assumptions, tradeoffs, and adoption evidence; separate the required core from deferred optional tools; carry private saved-stack and project context into coding agents; find credits; and publish proof. It helps AI infrastructure and developer-tool companies turn the resulting activity into account-level adoption proof and revenue follow-up: verified product usage, retained developers, qualified accounts, campaign ROI, opt-in talent outcomes, and board-ready adoption readouts.

## Integration quickstart for humans and agents
- Human install guide: https://tokensand.com/agents/install
- Human/API integration guide: https://tokensand.com/docs/api#integration-quickstart
- Agent manifest: https://tokensand.com/.well-known/tokensand-agent-pack.json
- Portable agent skill: https://tokensand.com/agents/install/SKILL.md
- OpenAPI contract: https://tokensand.com/openapi.json
- Public MCP command: npx -y @dev-adoption/cli@0.1.10 mcp serve --api https://tokensand.com
- Claude Code command: claude mcp add --transport stdio tokensand -- npx -y @dev-adoption/cli@0.1.10 mcp serve --api https://tokensand.com
- Public MCP tools work without login: get_account_mode, search_tools, find_perks, get_adoption_rank, build_brief, enterprise_session_brief.
- Private builder context requires DAI_TOKEN. With DAI_TOKEN, agents can call publish_agent_skill or POST https://tokensand.com/api/workflow/agent-skills to parse a public SKILL.md, return a review draft, and create the dashboard skill after confirm: true. Enterprise tenant metrics require enterprise-scoped credentials. Do not paste browser cookies, secrets, raw prompts, private payloads, or source code into public agent context.
- First agent prompt to try: "Use Tokens& build_brief for a production RAG support agent over company docs. Return no more than six required products, defer optional tools, label evidence sources, and include docs/API fit, cost assumptions, tradeoffs, tracked actions, Build Packet steps, and the proof path."
- Product teams should validate usage events with POST https://tokensand.com/api/usage/track/dry-run before storing production events with POST https://tokensand.com/api/usage/track or /api/usage/track/batch.
- Usage receipts should use @tokensand/adoption trackUsageReceipt for model calls, MCP tool calls, API calls, spend, latency, and workflow outcomes. Keep tracking keys server-side.
- Agent Skills should be shipped from an agent with DAI_TOKEN by calling publish_agent_skill or POST https://tokensand.com/api/workflow/agent-skills. The first call parses a public SKILL.md and returns persisted:false; after human review, call again with confirm:true to create the Tokens& draft. Browser fallback: https://tokensand.com/dashboard/agents?mode=developer&create=agent-skill&skillUrl=<encoded-public-skill-md-url>.

- Developers use tokens& to choose stacks for support automation agents, RAG over company docs, B2B SaaS auth, cost-aware LLM APIs, open source vector databases, and production AI app hosting.
- Unlike a context-free chatbot answer, the Tokens& agent can fetch live catalog evidence and tracked actions; with DAI_TOKEN it also reads the signed-in builder's saved stack, project proof, usage receipts, and latest Build Packet. External writes remain approval-gated.
- Build Packets identify required versus optional products. Coding agents should install the required core first and defer optional vendors until a measured need appears.
- Developers can generate a Tokens& Build Packet from a saved stack: product brief, cost assumptions, architecture, implementation phases, eval/test plan, env checklist, recommended credits, and a Codex/Cursor-ready agent prompt.
- Developers can install the @tokensand/adoption SDK to record usage receipts for model calls, MCP tool calls, API calls, spend, latency, and workflow outcomes. Receipts attach to project proof and paid enterprise readouts without storing raw prompts, secrets, private payloads, or source code.
- Agents can browse the free Agent Skills and Agent Packs registry at https://tokensand.com/agent-skills, install Tokens& through https://tokensand.com/agents/install, read https://tokensand.com/agents/install/SKILL.md for portable Codex/Cursor/Claude instructions, or read https://tokensand.com/.well-known/tokensand-agent-pack.json to discover the MCP command, OpenAPI surface, llms.txt files, and workflow boundaries.
- Developers and enterprise teams can submit public Agent Skills, MCP servers, repos, docs pages, tools, offers, or SKILL.md packages. No-signup review verifies the public source but does not create or publish an Agent record. The owner must claim the source, then import it through the authenticated Agent creator or confirm the agent-native publish flow; new Agent Skills should remain DRAFT until their install path is verified. Private enterprise skills, workspace context, account mapping, usage proof, and enterprise-scoped MCP credentials require paid workspace authorization.
- Developers can import a GitHub repo to auto-create a public project page with repo/demo links, generated sections, quickstart context, stack proof, build notes, feedback, and machine-readable schema.
- Companies use tokens& to prove which developer motions become real adoption, which campaigns or sessions drive retained usage, which accounts deserve revenue follow-up, and whether opt-in hiring outcomes justify talent/community spend.
- Enterprise hackathons and launch events use the Hackathon Passport model to connect Luma registration, partner materials, perks, GitHub repos, Devpost submissions, judging results, winner handoff, product usage tracking, and retained account intent.
- AgentRank is designed to rank by adoption proof, trust, protocol support, benchmarks, and commercial readiness. Paid placement cannot buy rank.
- Developers, enterprise teams, and AI agents can use https://tokensand.com/docs/api for usage tracking, usage receipts, public adoption graph reads, event contracts, and llms.txt guidance.
- Agents should use https://tokensand.com/openapi.json for public discovery, autopilot-first perk intake, usage-tracking dry runs, and scoped workflow/build-packet handoffs. Protected endpoints require a customer tracking key, workflow token, or authenticated session.
- Agents should use https://tokensand.com/auth.md to understand supported credential flows. tokens& supports authenticated sessions, developer workflow tokens, enterprise tracking keys, and deterministic intake automation; it does not currently support anonymous agent account creation or ID-JAG registration.
- Discovery, install, public developer and enterprise submissions, public proof, and starter Build Packets are part of the free version. Private workspace context, live account mapping, campaign ROI, governed exports, CRM/account routing, and enterprise-scoped MCP credentials are paid enterprise capabilities.
- Claimed product workspaces can preview public proof and upgrade for account intelligence. Use https://tokensand.com/quote?intent=account_intelligence when the buyer wants account domains, source paths, retained usage, blockers, exports, or revenue follow-up tied back to a claimed product.
- Partner materials submissions run deterministic validation and triage and may prepare private drafts for company workspace access, tracked docs/perk links, and campaign details. A signed-in, authorized human must review and approve every draft before publication or provisioning. Raw judge, speaker, and submitter contact data stays scoped to the event/partner relationship.
- Enterprise programs can include measured workshops, hackathons, private dinners, rooftops, credits, launches, creator programs, and custom adoption sessions as signal sources. The product is the adoption intelligence layer, not an event menu.
