NUU Citations is the registry of Description records — the provenance layer for every referenced work in the NUU ecosystem. A Description is written once in Markdown, pushed into this registry, and then cited from anywhere.
A Description names a referenced work and carries its provenance: title, authors, organisations, platforms, publication date, instance type, and a Markdown summary. Every Description gets a stable UUID, one owner, a visibility, and optional shares.
Descriptions are one link in the six-primitive citation chain —
Citation → Bibliography Entry → Description → Instance → Version → Document.
Only the Description layer is live today; the rest lands as the chain fills in.
Push Descriptions from the CLI:
$ pnpm add -g @nuucognition/citations-cli
$ citations login
$ citations push ./my-description.md
Authentication is Clerk SSO via your NUU account. Writes are owner-only — you can only edit Descriptions you pushed. A push never clears a field it does not send, so the CLI and the web form can edit the same record.
Browse lists every public Description in the registry. Search by title and open any row to read the full record. The Dashboard lists yours — pushed from the CLI or written on the web — plus the private ones shared with you. Each row links to the full Description with its Markdown body, its metadata, and, when you own it, the edit and delete actions.
