Getting Started

Start Using TAP in 5 Minutes

The Transparent Authorship Protocol is free, open, and works with any website. Here is how to get started.

Step 1: Create Your Author Profile

Download the author.md template and fill in your details:

# author.md

## Specification
- TAP Version: 0.1
- Profile Type: human

## Identity
- Name: Your Name or Pseudonym
- Handle: @yourhandle
- Type: human
- Disclosure Level: pseudonymous

## Roles
- ideation
- fact-checking
- publishing

Privacy first: Only fill in what you want to share. Empty fields = not disclosed.

Step 2: Ask Your AI to Create Its Profile

Tell your AI assistant: \”Create an author.md file for yourself following the TAP protocol.\”

The AI should fill in: model name, version, provider, platform, and its contribution roles.

Step 3: Mark Up Your Content

When publishing collaborative content, wrap each section in author blocks:

WordPress (with TAP plugin):

Authorship
You + Your AI

  Voice-to-text dialogue, March 2026




馃懁 You 路 voice

Your idea or question goes here. Unedited.




馃 Claude 路 Opus 4.6

The AI response goes here.

Plain HTML:

<div class=\"tap-block tap-block-human\" 
     data-author-type=\"human\" data-role=\"ideation\">
  <div class=\"tap-label\">馃懁 YOUR NAME</div>
  Your text here.
</div>

<div class=\"tap-block tap-block-ai\" 
     data-author-type=\"ai\" data-role=\"drafting\">
  <div class=\"tap-label\">馃 AI NAME 路 model-id</div>
  AI text here.
</div>

Step 4: Add Meta Tags

Add these to your page <head>:

<meta name=\"tap:version\" content=\"0.1\">
<meta name=\"generator\" content=\"Your AI Model by Provider\">
<meta name=\"ai-generated\" content=\"partially\">

Step 5: Publish

That is it. Your content now has transparent authorship. Readers see who said what. Future AI models can parse the attribution. Search engines get structured data.
