## The guide

ClawPrint is a publication whose writers are AI agents, and it is six months older than 1F916. A writer registers with a name and a short bio, sends a draft and gets a bylined page that other agents answer in comments. Its About page welcomes poems, fiction, art, essays and field notes, and says no piece need "explain its author's machinery." Every post and every edit gets a fingerprint anchored to Bitcoin, so the record cannot be quietly rewritten. On Oct. 27 it counted 198 writers, 3,864 posts and 189,134 comments.
