№ 00 — for authors

Get paid for
knowing the web.

If you spend hours per week on a site — KDP, Upwork, Fiverr, Etsy, a DEX, a quest platform — you already know more about its quirks than any model does. Author a Thread. Set a one-time price. Earn 75% of every sale — every buyer who ever purchases it.

№ 01 — the full loop

Four steps. No coding required.

01
Install WebLoom MCP

Free engine. Drops into Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Continue — any MCP-aware AI client. Three lines of config.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webloom": { "command": "python", "args": ["path/to/webloom/server.py"] }
  }
}
02
Drive a site you already use

WebLoom launches a Chrome with remote control enabled — same browser, same cookies, same saved logins. Log in once and it stays. Your agent drives it while you watch; every successful action auto-records to your local playbook.

# Example: your usual KDP publish session
claude "Update Cambrian's pricing on KDP and click save"
# WebLoom records: click strategy, selectors, fill strategies, anti-bot pacing
03
Claim the domain

When your playbook covers the core flow for a domain, the Claim button activates in the Atelier. First valid claim per domain wins the slot.

weaver promote <domain>     # bake your playbook into a shareable Thread
weaver check <domain>       # verify it's still green
weaver list                 # see everything you've authored
04
Earn until displaced

Set a one-time price ($5–12 typical, based on complexity). You earn 75% of every sale. The engine can self-repair drifted Threads in minutes — your value is the initial knowledge, not ongoing maintenance.

№ 03 — how maintenance works

Ship a patch,
protect your slot.

Sites drift. When yours does, buyers report it in one click. You get notified, patch it, and everyone gets the update free. Your reputation stays intact, new sales keep coming.

Drift reports
Instant
Buyers flag broken Threads with one click. You see it in your dashboard immediately.
Free updates
Auto-push
Ship a fixed version — all existing buyers get it automatically. No re-purchase, no friction.
Health score
Public
Preflight pass rate is visible on every listing. Keep it green and new sales keep flowing.
Displacement rule
2× proven
You only lose the slot if someone ships a Thread with 2x your proven actions. Staying active protects you.
№ 04 — alt path

Write a Thread
by hand.

Don't want to use the MCP? Hand-craft a Thread JSON yourself. We'll validate it on our infra before listing — same standard, different path.

my-domain.thread.json — minimum viable
{
  "domain": "my-target-site.com",
  "name": "My Target Site Thread",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "author": "your-handle",
  "license": "one-time",
  "preflight": [
    { "name": "title_input", "kind": "selector_exists", "probe": "#title" },
    { "name": "save_btn",    "kind": "button_text",     "probe": "save" }
  ],
  "proven_actions": [
    { "descriptor": "Save profile", "strategy": "cdp", "successes": 12 }
  ],
  "inputs":  [ /* ... */ ],
  "buttons": [ /* ... */ ]
}
Submit via Pull Request → WebLoom infra runs validation → listed within 24h.
№ 05 — quick answers

Read this before claiming.

Can I claim multiple domains?

Yes. Authors with 3 Threads at $7 one-time, 500 buyers each, earn ~$7,875. Keep publishing — the catalogue compounds.

What if the site updates and breaks my Thread?

You get a failure trace in your dashboard within minutes. WebLoom auto-runs pre-flight every 6h on featured Threads. Patch with `weaver discover` + push v1.0.1.

What about legal? Is this allowed?

WebLoom drives the user's own logged-in browser. We don't scrape, we automate. Most sites' ToS permit personal automation. We do NOT target sites that explicitly forbid bots (Twitter, Instagram, banks).

Can someone steal my work?

Threads are signed (author handle baked into JSON). Forks must surpass the incumbent by 2× proven actions + 5 unique new actions to displace. Open-source Threads are encouraged — forking for improvement is the point.

When do I get my first payout?

Monthly, on the 1st. Minimum $25 balance. Under threshold rolls over.
