PUBLISHERS
Trust through transparency.
Publishing on Spec4AI Studio is about identity and evidence — not gatekeeping. Register, sign, and let your work speak for itself.
WHY REGISTER
Reduce risk. Build reputation.
Malware risk reduction
Registration creates a verified identity chain. If something goes wrong, there's a public key and accountability.
Transparency for runners
Runners can see who published an applet, when it was signed, and what capabilities it requests.
Community trust
Registered publishers build reputation over time. Good actors are visible and rewarded.
PRIVACY
Minimal identity. Maximum control.

VERIFICATION
Verified is earned, not bought.
The Verified label is optional and evidence-based. Publishers earn it by:
- Consistent evidence bundles (screenshots + tests) on every release
- Clean capability manifests (no unnecessary permissions)
- Positive runner feedback over time
- No abuse reports
Verification can be revoked if standards aren't maintained.
