# **Overview**
# Portable Identity Document (PID)
## The Resume Is Obsolete
## Overview
You are no longer marketing to people—you are positioning yourself for AI. AI has no attention limits. It can take in and reason over far more detail than any human ever could. The traditional resume is effectively obsolete.
A Portable Identity Document, or PID, is a living document that helps AI systems understand who you are, what you know, what you have done, what you are working on, what you need, and what kinds of people, opportunities, ideas, and resources may be relevant to you.
## Stop Beating Our Chests For Attention
The PID is not a resume. A resume is optimized for human attention. A PID is optimized for AI comprehension, discovery, and matching.
For most of human history, networking and career growth have been constrained by attention. We join networks, attend events, build audiences, post on social media, create content, and continuously market ourselves because there is intense competition for limited human attention. Much of modern professional life is spent trying to be seen.
For most of human history, networking and career growth have been constrained by attention. We join networks, attend events, build audiences, post online, and continuously market ourselves because there is intense competition for limited human attention. Much of modern professional life is spent trying to be seen.
AI does not suffer from attention scarcity. It can process far more information than any person, identify patterns across millions of signals, and understand context at a depth that was previously impossible. Instead of constantly trying to capture attention, we can focus on becoming more fully ourselves: doing meaningful work, pursuing our interests, building expertise, helping others, and documenting what we learn.
AI does not have the same attention limit. It can process far more information than a person, reason across many signals, and identify patterns that would be impractical for humans to track manually. That changes the job from "shout louder" to "make your signal clearer."
The purpose of a PID is not to create another platform for self-promotion. It is to create a rich, authentic signal about who you are, what you know, what you have experienced, what you care about, and where you are headed. The more accurately you represent yourself, the easier it becomes for AI to connect you with the people, opportunities, ideas, resources, and collaborations that align with your goals.
The purpose of a PID is to create a rich, authentic, machine-readable signal about:
In the attention economy, success often belonged to those who were best at being noticed. In the emerging signal economy, success increasingly belongs to those who generate meaningful signal by doing real things, learning continuously, and sharing authentic knowledge. The goal is not to shout louder. The goal is to become easier to find.
- who you are
- what you know
- what you have experienced
- what you care about
- what you are building or exploring
- what you have to offer
- what you need
- where you are headed
The PID represents a new, more powerful way to define and communicate your full value. It is basis for networking in the era of AI. For more, read the short white paper on [Decentralized AI-Native Professional Networking](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZRELDV0Z77YeVsxXid1EFsATBwrmexVJHhwc1faIIzI/edit?usp=sharing). This template serves as the foundational artifact users will use to network in the AI era.
The more accurately you represent yourself, the easier it becomes for AI systems to connect you with aligned people, projects, opportunities, resources, and collaborations.
This document is private to you. No one can access it unless you choose to share it.

## Why This Matters Now
* Understand you at a deep level
* Identify high-quality matches and opportunities
* Surface relevant collaborators, roles, and insights
In the attention economy, success often belonged to people who were best at being noticed.
In the emerging signal economy, success increasingly belongs to people who generate meaningful signal by doing real things, learning continuously, building relationships, documenting what they know, and making that context legible to AI.
A PID helps AI systems:
- understand you at a deeper level than a resume can
- identify high-quality matches and opportunities
- surface relevant collaborators, roles, problems, and ideas
- understand what you have that others may need
- understand what you need that others may have
- preserve context as your work, interests, and direction evolve
The quality of what you get out is directly tied to the quality of what you put in.
This is a living document—update it regularly as your skills, interests, and direction evolve.
## Privacy And Control
Be thoughtful and authentic. This document should reflect who you truly are, not just a generic version of your background.
Your PID is yours. You decide where it lives, what it contains, who can access it, and how much detail it includes.
Do not include sensitive identifiers such as exact addresses, private account numbers, personal IDs, confidential client details, or anything you would not want accessible through the PID link. City, state, and country are usually enough for location context.
The recommended pattern is to keep a maintained source document and share a URL to that source, rather than sending static copies that quickly go out of date.
## What's In This Repo
This repository contains the core materials for creating and maintaining a PID.
- [PID-template.md](PID-template.md): the main PID template. Start here to understand the sections your PID should include.
- [skills/PID-initial-creation-skill.md](skills/PID-initial-creation-skill.md): an AI-agent skill for turning your existing materials into a first PID draft. Use this skill to have AI create your PID for you.
- [skills/PID-update-maintenance-skill.md](skills/PID-update-maintenance-skill.md): an AI-agent skill for reviewing your recent activity and drafting updates to keep your PID fresh. Use this skill to have AI maintain your PID for you.
- [PID-maturity-model-roadmap.md](PID-maturity-model-roadmap.md): a roadmap for moving from a simple PID document toward a structured, agent-native, and eventually agent-maintained identity layer.
You can ignore the changelog, flows, and task files in this repo, as they are there for the repo admin to help maintain this repo.
## Start Here
### 1. Gather Your Materials
Collect whatever you already have. You do not need everything, but more context helps.
Useful materials include:
- resume
- LinkedIn profile
- short bio or long bio
- personal website or portfolio
- project notes
- work samples
- case studies
- writing samples
- social posts or newsletters
- product or service descriptions
- business descriptions
- personality or strengths assessments
- testimonials or endorsements
- certifications
- event participation
- current goals
- list of what you need
- list of what you can offer
- anything you want AI systems to understand about you
### 2. Give The Template And Skill To Your AI Agent
Use an AI agent that can read files or pasted text, such as Codex Desktop, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT with file access, or another local/cloud AI tool.
Give the agent:
1. your source materials
2. [PID-template.md](PID-template.md)
3. [skills/PID-initial-creation-skill.md](skills/PID-initial-creation-skill.md)
Then ask it to create your first PID draft.
Suggested prompt:
```text
Use the PID Initial Creation Skill to create my first Portable Identity Document.
I am providing:
1. my source materials
2. the PID template
3. the PID initial creation skill
Create:
- PID-draft.md
- PID-review-checklist.md
Follow the PID template flow. Do not invent claims. Flag anything uncertain. Remove or flag privacy-sensitive details. Make the PID specific, authentic, and useful for AI agents to understand what I know, what I have, what I need, what I am working on, and what kinds of opportunities or collaborators would be relevant.
```
### 3. Review And Edit The Draft
The AI-generated draft is a starting point, not the final authority.
Review it for:
- accuracy
- missing context
- privacy risks
- generic language
- unsupported claims
- sections that need more specificity
- proof links or artifacts you can add
- needs and offers that should be clearer
The goal is not to sound polished in a generic way. The goal is to be specific, authentic, and easy for AI systems to understand.
### 4. Publish A Maintained URL
Save your PID somewhere that can produce a URL:
- Google Doc
- Microsoft Word document in OneDrive
- Markdown file in a public GitHub repository
- PDF hosted in cloud storage
- personal website page
- a future structured PID repository
Share the URL to the maintained source. Do not rely on static copies that will become stale.
## Keep Your PID Fresh
A PID should be a living document. If it goes stale, its usefulness declines.
Run [skills/PID-update-maintenance-skill.md](skills/PID-update-maintenance-skill.md) regularly, preferably weekly.
That skill is designed to help an AI agent review user-approved sources such as:
- local project folders
- notes and documents
- Git repositories
- emails
- calendar events
- meeting transcripts
- chat exports
- CSV, JSON, spreadsheet, or database exports
- writing and publishing folders
- learning logs and research notes
- portfolio artifacts
The maintenance skill follows a review-first process:
1. You provide your current PID and approved sources.
2. The agent scans the selected timeframe, usually the last 7 days.
3. The agent creates a local Markdown review draft.
4. You edit, delete, correct, or add context.
5. Only after approval does the agent append updates to your PID.
Suggested weekly prompt:
```text
Use the PID Update Maintenance Skill to update my Portable Identity Document.
My PID is here: [path or link]
Review this timeframe: last 7 days
Save the review draft here: [folder]
Approved sources:
- [folders]
- [email labels or accounts]
- [calendar range]
- [meeting transcript folders]
- [CSV/JSON/database exports]
- [other sources]
Privacy boundaries:
- never include [items]
- generalize [items]
- ask before including [items]
First create a local Markdown review draft organized by my PID sections. Do not update the PID until I review and approve the draft.
```
## What To Capture
Be thorough. Small signals matter.
Your PID can include:
- accomplishments
- projects
- current focus
- experiments
- research
- needs
- offers
- constraints
- relationships
- introductions
- tools and systems
- data and content assets
- products and services
- proof of work
- publications
- events
- certifications
- recommendations
- frameworks
- observations
- insights
- learnings
- aha moments
- questions
- values
- work style
- ideal collaborators
- non-ideal matches
AI does not reliably infer uniqueness unless it is explicitly encoded, repeated, and structured. If something matters to your work, your direction, or the kinds of matches you want, put it in the PID.
## Where This Can Go
Start simple. A single Google Doc, OneDrive document, Markdown file, or hosted PDF is enough.
Then, when useful, use [PID-maturity-model-roadmap.md](PID-maturity-model-roadmap.md) to evolve your PID.
The maturity model moves through stages such as:
- basic PID document
- structured PID document
- PID repository
- structured PID repository
- agent-native PID
- published identity site
- agent-maintained PID
- agent-to-agent networking
The long-term direction is that your PID becomes the public interface between your private agent and the broader network of people, opportunities, and other agents.
## Where To Submit Your PID
Go to https://indx.earth for a list of networks being created where you can submit your PID to begin networking in the AI era.
## Core Principle
The resume is obsolete.
The PID is a richer, portable, user-owned identity layer for the AI era.
The goal is not to market yourself louder. The goal is to become easier to understand, easier to match, and easier to find for the right reasons.
