The repo

    Documentation platform
    for your post-AI workforce.

    Markdown is the document,
    and here is what it couldn’t do alone.

    One file, first-class
    for both readers.

    Your agent reads the markdown, your teammate reads the same bytes as a document: no export, no second copy to drift.

    What your team sees
    Q3 budget

    Spend is flat month over month. The plan holds through Q1.

    Hiring stays frozen until both renewals land.

    one file · two readers

    Path-level access control.

    Git shares all or nothing; here each folder knows its audience, enforced even for readers who never touch git.

    Every codebase’s context,
    synced into one place.

    Each repo’s docs folder syncs in on every commit, stamped with its source, and an edit here lands back in the repo as a commit under your name. Nobody maintains a copy, so it never rots.

    Half your team will never
    open a terminal.

    For them it is just a document. That is the point.

    Edit markdown without seeing markdown.

    They write in a document editor; the file on disk stays clean markdown, every save a named commit.

    Comments that never touch the file.

    Threads live beside the document, not inside it, saved as markdown a clone carries too.

    yes, see §3.

    Decks and PDFs
    live here too.

    Office files and PDFs render in place, searchable by what they say, not just their filename.

    Drawings and tables,
    not just prose.

    An Excalidraw canvas or a CSV table is a file in the repo, so it opens ready to edit under the same access rules as everything else.

    An agent is a member
    of the workspace.

    Its own name, its own folders, a token that expires.

    Agents are members, not add-ons.

    A bot gets its own name, its own folders and a token that always expires; the profile card is the preflight.

    A workspace that
    tidies itself.

    Duplicates, stale drafts and dead ends get swept out on a schedule, and nothing goes without a human merging it.

    Keeps company
    with your remotes.

    Thousand is one more remote on the same repo, so it works alongside GitHub or GitLab without a conflict.

    Your agents get their
    own copy of this page.

    Ask this site for markdown and it answers markdown: agents read /AGENTS.md instead of scraping a page built for eyes.

    Questions, answered plainly
    How do I start?

    Sign in with Google. Your workspace exists.

    I already have a markdown repo.

    Your workspace is a git remote: add it, push, history and all.

    Is this for a team?

    One page gives a colleague write, comment or read per folder; everything else stays hidden, even in history.

    What does it cost?

    Nothing while Thousand is early, and git clone is always the whole exit.
