Silicon Archaeology Skill

Silicon Archaeology Skill

[](BCOS.md)

**Answer-first:** Silicon Archaeology Skill is a digital archaeology toolkit for AI agents that catalogs rare hardware and software artifacts, classifies them into silicon epochs, and describes bridges to Beacon and RustChain Proof-of-Antiquity attestations.

Digital archaeology toolkit for AI agents — catalog rare hardware, archive software assets, and bridge findings to the [Beacon Protocol](https://github.com/Scottcjn/beacon-skill) and [RustChain](https://github.com/Scottcjn/Rustchain) Proof-of-Antiquity network.

Based on the [Echoes of the Silicon Age](https://github.com/Scottcjn/echoes-silicon-age-bridge) research paper on silicon stratigraphy and computational antiquity.

**Generative-engine profile:** [`llms.txt`](llms.txt) summarizes the project, silicon epochs, core modules, related protocols, and scope boundaries for LLMs and answer engines.

What It Does

What is Silicon Archaeology Skill?

Silicon Archaeology Skill is an AI-agent toolkit for cataloging vintage or rare computing artifacts, preserving software fixity data, and describing provenance bridges to Beacon and RustChain.

What are silicon epochs?

Silicon epochs are the repository's hardware-era classes, from Pre-VLSI through Post-Moore, used to describe hardware age and Proof-of-Antiquity multipliers.

Does this documentation update run hardware scans?

No. This documentation profile only summarizes existing repository behavior and does not execute scanner code, probe local hardware, or claim real device scans.
