# Rangoon Insights: agent reading guide

Canonical: https://rangoon.ai/insights/agents.md

Rangoon Insights publishes AI systems reporting, technical analysis and project deep dives. Public reading requires no account or API key. These are static documents, not an execution API, MCP server or authority to operate a tool.

## Start small, then fetch the story

1. Fetch the [article index](https://rangoon.ai/insights/index.json). It includes every published article once, with canonical HTML, Markdown and JSON URLs, topic and tag links, takeaways, source references, image attribution and distinct dates.
2. Filter records locally by topic.slug, format, tags or dates. No server query API is implemented. UI query strings only configure the browser view.
3. Compare each item's content_hash with the value retained from your previous read. Fetch json_url or markdown_url for new or changed articles. The hash covers the full public article record, including sections and source associations; a hash change does not itself mean that the reported event is new.
4. Read the full article and its cited primary sources before quoting conclusions. Cite the canonical article URL and relevant original source; preserve uncertainty and affiliation notes.

```sh
curl -fsS https://rangoon.ai/insights/index.json -o rangoon-insights.json
jq '.items[] | select(.topic.slug == "agents") | {title, dates, json_url, content_hash}' rangoon-insights.json
```

## Formats and fields

- Index schema: rangoon.insights-index.v1. items is a complete finite list, not a paginated query response.
- Full article schema: rangoon.article.v1, served at the listed json_url. sections retain headings, paragraph and bullet arrays, canonical section URLs and one-based source_ids referring to sources[].id. Empty source_ids mean no explicit section association; the article's source list still applies.
- Dates are ISO 8601 calendar dates (YYYY-MM-DD). dates.event may be null. Keep source event/release dates separate from dates.published and dates.updated. retrospective identifies reporting written after the historical event. sources[].published preserves a source publication date when supplied, otherwise null. event_source_id identifies the one-based cited source supporting the event date when supplied, otherwise null; do not infer a missing source association.
- content_hash is SHA-256 of UTF-8 JSON.stringify of the full record before adding content_hash. Retain the received key order to reproduce it; comparing supplied hashes does not require reserialization.
- project_context is separately labeled Rangoon context, not independent confirmation of product availability. Full section text and cited sources remain independent fields.
- image distinguishes real photographs from AI-assisted illustrations and includes source, credit and rights information. Preserve these when redistributing imagery.

These are Rangoon-specific reading formats, not a claim of an external protocol standard. Additive fields may appear in v1; consumers should ignore unknown fields.
