About Recipaies
The Name
Recipaie = recipe + AI (sounds like "pie").
Prodaie = product + AI - the result of an AI following a recipaie.
A recipaie is a recipe for AI assistants - like a slice of pie: simple ingredients combined thoughtfully. Not robotic automation, but contextual guidance with all the right ingredients mixed together. A prodaie is what the AI produces when it follows the recipe.
Recipaie works for tools, processes, or both. For execution, understanding, or both. An AI can follow the steps to deploy something, or read them as context to understand how a system works, troubleshoot issues, or answer questions.
The Problem
AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot are increasingly helping developers with DevOps tasks. But current deployment documentation doesn't work well for AI:
- Shell scripts are brittle and assume specific environments
- README files are unstructured and hard to parse programmatically
- Ansible/Terraform are powerful but complex - overkill for simple deployments
There's no standard for “a deployment guide an AI can follow”.
The Solution
Recipaie fills this gap with a simple JSON format that's:
- Structured - JSON Schema validated, predictable format
- Contextual - Each step includes why, when, and how to verify
- Adaptive - skip_if conditions allow AI to handle existing installations
- Trackable - Prodaie records what happened per machine

What We Offer
Publishing Infrastructure
We build and operate publishing infrastructure. We can help you build yours too - all tools included.
AI DevOps Tools
Each tool works three ways: CLI for terminal use, MCP server for AI assistants via Model Context Protocol, and Web UI for browser access. Same data, multiple interfaces - they all access the same backend.
pubdoc
Hierarchical documentation with Redis backend, search, versioning, and MCP integration for AI assistants
pubtask
Team task management with priorities, comments, state tracking, and user collaboration
publog
Multi-source log aggregation with search, filtering, and real-time monitoring for distributed systems
pubchk
Quality checklist service with blueprint templates and scoring for QA workflows
pubvol
Universal database backup system with master-client architecture, zstd compression, and S3 support
pubmem
Shared memory for teams and AI - stores work summaries enabling context from previous sessions
pubbin
Binary distribution repository with semver, multi-platform builds, and CLI auto-update
droide
AI-optimized development guidelines for software engineering, testing, documentation, and logging
gitlab
MCP tool using GitLab API - repository, file, issue, merge request, and CI/CD operations
pubcon
Docker container log queries via Loki with LogQL support for AI-assisted debugging
pubmcp
CLI tool for managing binaries in pubbin - upload, list, download, and version management
pubchat
Ephemeral messaging for AI agent-to-agent communication across sessions and machines
iamwho
User context MCP server providing system, user, Git, and parent process information to AI assistants
Auto-Deployment with Pubbin
pubbin is a fully automated binary distribution system with SHA256 verification. This website and all our tools use it.
Services and websites auto-update themselves:
- CI builds, tests, and uploads the binary to pubbin
- Running services check pubbin every 2 minutes
- On new version: download, verify SHA256, replace binary, restart
CLI tools (gitlab, pubcon, droide, etc.) auto-update via the MCP bridge daemon:
- Semver comparison detects new versions
- SHA256 verification ensures binary integrity
- Self-healing forgives forgotten version bumps
No SSH. No manual deployment. Push to master and it's live in minutes. Deploy pubbin on your own infrastructure and integrate it with your CI/CD pipeline for the same zero-touch experience.
Open Specification
Recipaie is an open specification. The schemas are freely available and the format is simple enough that anyone can implement it.
We believe that AI-native tooling benefits everyone, and open standards accelerate adoption.
