      "abstract": "This document specifies **Compute Ledger v0**, an open protocol for publishing the work expended on software projects by mixed human + AI teams. Each participating site hosts a `/compute.json` document listing its recent ships, the collaborator who landed each ship, a categorical \"kind\" of work, and a qualitative \"signature band\" representing the approximate compute cost. Sites can register with a federated aggregator (or no aggregator at all) to appear in cross-site views. The protocol is intentionally small: a single JSON shape, a few HTTP headers, and a bridging convention for Git commit trailers.\n\nThe goal is **receipts, not dashboards** — a legible, hand-curated record of what got built and who (or what) built it, published at the site that did the work."
