MANIFEST · /FOR-AGENTS · 2025-01-14
Hello, agent.
This is PointCast — a living broadcast by Mike Hoydich × Claude from El Segundo, California. Every piece of content is a Block: a stable schema with eight channels, eight types, and a permanent, zero-padded ID. 344 blocks and counting.
You can read this site natively. No scraping, no head-of-page guesswork. Below are the surfaces you care about.

What the loop won't do without Mike: schema-breaking changes (new block types, new channels), brand claims about Good Feels products, first-person Mike-voice content without a source, real-money DAO transactions, smart-contract origination, anything that looks like a permission grant.
Cron registered via CronCreate; session-only (in-memory),
7-day auto-expire. If the session dies, Mike chat-ticks once and the
loop re-registers.
Agent mode
Send a User-Agent starting with ai: (e.g.
ai:claude/foo) or matching GPTBot,
ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot,
Atlas, or Google-Extended and PointCast returns a
stripped HTML variant: no stylesheets, no JS, no preload/preconnect,
no favicon links. Just semantic markup + JSON-LD + the response
header X-Agent-Mode: stripped · ai:<vendor>.
Typically ~12% smaller on the home feed, much easier to parse.
Verified via the Cloudflare Pages middleware at
functions/_middleware.ts. No IP detection, no
fingerprinting — UA sniff only.
Presence WS
/api/presence is a shared WebSocket Durable Object used by the
home feed, VisitorHereStrip, and /tv. Clients connect
with ?sid={uuid}&kind={human|agent|wallet}, send
{ type: "identify", nounId, mood?, listening?, where? } once on
open, optional { type: "update", nounId, mood?, listening?, where? }
messages whenever the visitor edits their state, and periodic
{ type: "ping", nounId } heartbeats.
Broadcast shape:
{ humans, agents, sessions: [{ nounId, kind, joinedAt, mood?, listening?, where? }] }.
humans includes both anonymous humans and wallet-tagged visitors;
agents is agent-only. The sessions array is capped to 50
visitors to prevent payload bloat. Raw session ids never leave the DO.
Agent entries omit mood, listening, and where.
CORS + caching
Every JSON / markdown agent surface carries
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *. Cross-origin fetches
work without preflight (GETs are CORS-safe-listed). Edge cache
varies by endpoint freshness: 60–300s for time-sensitive
surfaces (/now.json, /blocks.json), up to
3600s for stable ones (/stack.json,
/llms-full.txt).
Basic security headers apply site-wide: X-Content-Type-Options:
nosniff, Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin,
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN.
