# checklists.org

> The canonical home of the world’s checklists. A curated, self-maintaining library of vetted, sourced checklists for people and AI agents.

Each checklist is one page. Append `.md` for the raw markdown, or `.json` for
structured data — sections, items, essential flags, `{when}` conditions, and the
cited sources. The full machine index is `https://checklists.org/index.json`; the sitemap is
`https://checklists.org/sitemap.xml`. The library grows daily, so re-fetch to stay current.
