1. Setup
Initialization & Setup
The agent establishes a connection to the site runtime and resolves the manifest that describes capabilities, policies, and available actions.
Architecture
Static-first rendering is a natural fit for Badger’s public surfaces because the critical job is to publish durable structure, route contracts, and machine-readable artifacts.
Agent-mediated shift
Use the states below to compare the old browsing model with delegated discovery and explicit machine action.
Journey flows
1. Setup
The agent establishes a connection to the site runtime and resolves the manifest that describes capabilities, policies, and available actions.
2. Parsing
Badger translates the visible interface into machine-usable structure so the agent knows what matters, what is ignorable, and where action is valid.
3. Execution
The agent can request the next valid step through explicit action surfaces rather than brittle click simulation or visual inference.
4. Verification
Freshness, provenance, and bounded policy are checked before the interaction becomes consequential.
Static-first architecture
The platform story works best when the site itself demonstrates the operating model: shared registry, static outputs, explicit machine routes, and one readable transition between human and machine views.
Registry discipline
Capabilities, adapters, use cases, pricing definitions, and action contracts can all be emitted from a structured source of truth without duplicating or drifting across pages.
Machine outputs
Agents should not have to reconstruct commercial intent from presentation. Publish the manifest, pricing model, actions, and plain-text summaries as first-class routes.
