ZANA COMMUNITY · BY THE GLOBAL SOUTH, FOR THE GLOBAL SOUTH

The largest context window is the one that knows who you are.

Tools built somewhere else arrive knowing everything except the place they landed in. Zana is written by the people it is for. The ones who already hold the context.

Voice and craft — the skills that decide how an agent writes, illustrates and presents, so the output sounds like the person who shipped it.

Add your place

The map is not finished. It is barely started.

A contribution is a directory under catalog/ with an amini.yaml beside it. Add a location to your author block and your city joins the line above the moment the registry rebuilds.

City and country are yours to state. Region, coordinates and clock are derived from the country code, so no one has to file their own place under someone else’s taxonomy.
