cnix — Corbet Nix

cnix is the public knowledge layer for a family of Nix projects. It turns revision-addressed source evidence into concise explanations, safe tutorials, and a website that humans and machines can navigate without proprietary tools.

Working preview

This site is live while its project catalogue is being populated. The current pages document cnix itself, including the knowledge model and publication boundary; they are the first end-to-end proof of the system they describe.

Start here

• The cnix system — what the product does and why it exists.
• Knowledge model — concepts, sources, spheres, and the private overlay.
• Publication guardian — why publication is a security decision rather than a rendering option.
• Project showcases — how each project gets a distinct marketing site without duplicating technical facts.
• Editorial policy — the audience, voice, and evidence discipline for human- and model-written pages.
• Interoperability — how cnix plays with OKF, LLM Wiki, Obsidian, Quartz, and future nixea views.
• Operations — the unattended maintenance loop and last-known-good behaviour.

Projects

• Project index — concise public explanations of the Corbet Nix suite and the route into its individual showcases. The catalogue is being populated from revision-addressed repositories.

Change history

• Knowledge log — chronological changes to this bundle.

Machine access

The published site also exposes /knowledge.json, /llms.txt, /sitemap.xml, /index.xml, and Quartz’s /static/contentIndex.json. Markdown remains the canonical knowledge; every other representation is a rebuildable projection.
