AT Protocol Documentation Site

This repository is the source code for atproto.com, the official documentation website for the AT Protocol—the technology that powers Bluesky, an open social network. If you've ever wanted to understand how Bluesky works under the hood, or you're a developer thinking about building something on top of it, this is where all the explanations live.

The repository is set up so that anyone can view the documentation online, but also so that people can contribute improvements or changes. If you want to edit the docs, you clone the repository to your computer, install dependencies with npm, and run a local development server. As you make changes to the documentation files, the website updates in real time in your browser. This makes it easy to preview edits before pushing them live.

The core documentation lives in a single file that generates the homepage—a good starting point if you want to understand the structure or make changes. The README explains that the documentation itself is licensed under Creative Commons (meaning people can reuse and adapt it), while code examples are in the public domain (so you can copy them freely without worrying about attribution).

This project is useful for anyone maintaining or contributing to the AT Protocol ecosystem—whether you're Bluesky staff keeping documentation up to date, or a community contributor who spots something that needs clarifying or fixing. It's also a resource for developers curious about how Bluesky's decentralized architecture actually works, including how third-party developers can build custom feeds, federated services, or alternative clients on top of it.
