SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Agents and readers landing on the Analytic Madhyasth Darshan site need a single orientation point that explains which catalogs and APIs are public, how to retrieve studies, and which endpoints are human-only. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Catalog discovery: Lists the human catalog, unified JSON catalog, search API, glossary, citation, and change feed endpoints with their URLs. - Reading guidance: Describes the recommended reading order (human, existence, knowledge, value, lived participation) and notes that Markdown is the source of truth over generated HTML and PDF. - Tool integration: Documents the MCP Streamable HTTP endpoint, study markdown resources, WebMCP, OpenAPI spec, and pagination rules (default 50 rows, limit up to 100, follow nextOffset). - Use Case: An AI agent newly connected to the site uses this Skill to find the unified catalog JSON, search for a study on coexistence, fetch its Markdown body, and generate a citation without touching human-only write APIs. ## Quick Start Orient me to the Analytic Madhyasth Darshan site and show me how to find and read a study about the ontology of coexistence.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find and read studies on Analytic Madhyasth Darshan?

Start with the unified JSON catalog at /Studies/catalog-all.json or the search API at /api/studies?q=. Each published row links html, pdf, and md formats; Markdown is the source of truth, so fetch the Markdown body before summarizing a paper.

What MCP tools does the Analytic Madhyasth Darshan server provide?

The MCP Streamable HTTP endpoint at /mcp exposes search_studies, list_studies, get_study, get_study_outline, get_glossary, get_start_here, and get_cite. Study markdown is also available as the resource studies://study/{slug}.

Can an AI agent submit studies or post to discussions automatically?

No. Catalog reads are public, but write APIs are human-only. Agents must not call discussion magic-link or GitHub OAuth routes during passive scans; submissions go through the web portal with GitHub sign-in.

How does pagination work for the study and glossary APIs?

HTTP study and glossary lists and MCP search, list, and glossary tools default to 50 rows with a limit up to 100. Follow the nextOffset value while hasMore is true; the static catalog JSON is a complete array with no pagination.

What is the recommended reading order for the studies?

Follow the Start here path on the studies landing page: human, existence, knowledge, value, then lived participation. Formal and applied studies form a parallel track rather than a substitute for the topical papers.
