URI Reference

URI Reference

Zinc reads store and package facts with zinc:// paths.

Store paths

Path	Returns
zinc://packages	Installed package facts.
zinc://fragments	Stored fragment records.
zinc://heads	Current head pointers.
zinc://config	Opaque config values.

Package manifest paths

zinc://packages/<package>/manifest/<path>

Example:

zinc://packages/openai-responses/manifest/software/responses

Package file paths

zinc://packages/<package>/files/<relative/path>

Example:

zinc://packages/openai-responses/files/software/responses.py

Why this design exists

A small URI surface is easier to remember than a large command-specific API.

Design reason

zinc:// paths expose store facts and package navigation without importing package internals.
